I was changing the hands on a Vostok 2415, and when I cased the watch up again, I found I could not return the stem and crown to the movement. What is strange, Is that if I take the movement out of the case the crown reengages just fine. The 2415 has a spring release stem, I am wondering if anybody else has ever had this problem with the same movement or with a similar movement, or has any ideas on how to fix this. -

Question
bsoderling 57
Hi all,
Finally gathered the courage to try a Timex!
I found this automatic dirt cheap (pic’s attached) but with a nice dial so why not give it a go.
Found that the h/s spring was quite bent, probably due to someone being careless with the timing setting. Got that sorted decently without any disassembly and now the wheel spins freely and h/s looks ok.
but it doesn’t start up and when turning the crown I hear a distinct click after a few turns that makes me think there’s something wrong with the main spring. Are these movements equipped with a similar slipping m/s as regular automatics? The sound I hear makes me think more along the lines of a broken spring in a manual.
I understand we have some devoted Timex guys on the forum and would appreciate any hints on how to proceed.
