Hello from Utah, and a question


Anza

Recommended Posts

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.

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
