Anyone know the difference between Raketa 2628 and 2628.H?

Hi all,

I have a Raketa 2628.H with a bent pivot. Cousins sells a balance complete for the 2628, but I can't find out whether it is compatible.

Above, it states that "difference between 2628 and 2628.H" is not known. Hope someone here can prove them wrong! Thanks.

I know that the raketa 2609 and the 2609 ha were totally different.  I know  also that the 2628 has a date and maybe a day complication. I am not  aware that  the 2609 had such complications. They  may exist. So there is  I would think a very  good  likelyhood  that the 2628 and  the 2628 h are the same. Do image searches. I think they will back me up.

I can't spot a difference.

Look on etsy under Russian  watch movements. They are cheaper  by the dozen
