Raketa 2603 setting lever

[Fleslie]

Recently took my first non course watch apart. As I am reassembling I failed to note if the setting lever (button ,not screw) is installed from the top of the movement or the bottom side of the Raketa 2603. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It appears to go in from the dial side. I don't have one to hand, so I can't confirm, but if the above picture is anything to go by, then it is fitted with the keyless work from the dial side.

Pictures of the part, and the stripped mechanism would help though, as I may misunderstanding your question.

A datasheet shows where parts go.

I recommend making a habbit of taking picture at all stages of strip down.

I don't know!

Anyway, this setting lever (see pictures below) is from a Vostok 24XX movement and looking at the picture in @AndyHull's post above the design looks similar. Hopefully it might help you to figure it out!?

Hi  I have attached the raketa tech sheet for reference, unfortunatly it has no exploded diagram and therefore may not be of much interest to you except for future use regarding parts and numbers.

Just for clarity of terminology and my own pedantic nature, The part in question is described in the manual as the "Setting Lever Axle". Which means it acts as both the setting lever pivot and the stem release. Describing it as the "setting Lever" is terribly confusing.

So, could you figure it out? Please let us know! Sharing knowledge like this is what WRT is very much about. Any chance of getting to see a picture of the watch? Russian watches have a special place in my heart so it would probably make my day.

I took the forum advice and inserted the lever from the dial side and everything worked perfectly. Many thanks to all!
