Hello,

Im pretty new to watch repair, just a few watches serviced so far.  This forum has been a big help.

As for the question:  I’m in the middle of a Slava 2416, and have a reassembly issue with one of the mainsprings.  I was trying to rewind it, but after a rather epic battle, I now have a mainspring fit for the trash can.  I’ve had no luck trying to source a replacement, including the cousins site, and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I found a donor Slava 2427 on eBay, but I don’t know if that’s compatible.

thanks for any help!

OK in my GR catalogue it shows a Slava cal: 2414 and it’s mainspring is as follows:

GR 3919DB  the DB indicates it has a special bridal which is the shape of the start of the spring. It’s size is 1.45x0.075x240.

Cousins also supply the above as a complete barrel. 

The nearest size I could find re the sizes you have supplied is:

GR4059 1.50x0.07x240

there is also a GR4059DBH which is another shape of the start of the spring but Cousins do not supply that spring. 
 

You need to know the shape the spring see attached pic.

      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

      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.
