Hello,

 

Few weeks ago I have purchased few soviet era movements for training purposes - cal. 2209, 2609 and 2614.2h.

So, those movements came as described, not working, on some of them balance is moving. The most important, I noticed, that all movements are with missing shockproof spring.

Now is my question. Where I can buy spare Shockproof springs? I am living in UK.

Hi yes, parts for these watches are readily available, any good watch part suppliers will have them. 

If not there is good old Ebay, lots of good spare and repairs out there.

For Russian watches I think Ebay is your best bet. I guess Sekondas were sold in the West but really, on Ebay you can get 4-5 movements, some with good balances, for $20. Now when I do a Russian movement I just buy a bunch of scrappers because it's anyone's guess which parts will be shot, which will be missing, etc. I then try to Frankenstein the best movement I can.

Also try etsy.com there are some Soviet watches being sold for parts.

 

Last week the watchmaker damaged my sentimental mint condition Soviet Slava watch and I am heartbroken.  I found a similar part on etsy... so it may work for you...

If anyone knows where to find a new bezel in the picture please let me know! Los Angeles doesn't have a single reputable watchmaker ? my fault for taking it there.
