Excellent job I have a pip missing from my Vostok diver and need to figure what to put in the opening.

Hi there jdrichard, thank you, I would use some uhu 2 pack glue and mix it up with some lume of your choice, make sure you mix a good portion of the lume in the glue as much as you can get in the mixture and use an oiler to place it in that pip holder. You can dome it or fill it flat. Make sure you don't touch it with anything for a couple of days. It will dry looking like a lumed glass pip. It will stay there as it will be glue and lumed at the same time. I think it would look cool with bgw9 to add a bit of colour in the dark. The choice is yours my friend 

Regards Graziano

Fantastic . Going to steal this method from you. Have done some with Lume and clear epoxi . But this would probably look better. And more original. Epoxi and lume would work fine on the Vostok

      Introduction

      By Randy55 · Posted

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Jon · Posted

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
