Beginner asking for deification on this watches movement please.

So I looked up what watches used NH35 automatic movement and in the list Vostok was included so I thought I would buy a movement with the idea of making a watch for my son

Hello and welcome to the forum.  The watch pictured is of russian origin, of which there are quite a few. It would be handy if you could post a picture of the movement.  Remove the back plate and a cloce up of the movement so members can see whate type/make it is and the caliber number

There is no image on the listing of the movement. I was hoping someone could ID from the picture I posted

That is incorrect in the listing, the watch does not use a Seiko NH35, some sellers place "hot words" to attract buyers.

It is highly un likley that a Russian watch would have a Japanese movement,  More likley  Racketa, Wostock, Poljot etc, so thats why we ask for a picture of the movement. The picture supplied only lells us its a Russian Dial and case.  Once we identify the movement/caliber from that we can find the technical details,  height , size which will then enable you to source a replacement movement. Your problems dont end there though. With a new movement  comes the interchangeability,  the position of the dial feet, the stem, the crown  will the hands fit , do I need new hands and whether its a snug/loose fit do you need a case ring. So as you can appreciate there are plenty of other considerations. Its not just get a movement and pop it in.

Indeed. That should be a Komandirskie with a Vostok 2416 automatic mov.t. As noted, beside that it would become a weird frankenwatch, swapping the mov.t with something else would be problematic even for an advanced hobbyst.

      Experience and Maintenance of Citizen Leopard 36000 Watch

      By Cihan · Posted

      I have acquired a Citizen Leopard 36000 watch. My reason for purchasing it was my desire to own a timepiece with a 36,000 BPH movement, and the price was reasonable. Another motivating factor was gaining hands-on experience with the mechanism. The watch is in good condition, but I intend to fully disassemble it for maintenance. First and foremost, if anyone has prior experience with this particular model, I would greatly appreciate their insights. I do not have access to Citizen’s specialized lubricants and will need to use the ones available to me, such as 9010, 8000, and 8300 grease. Additionally, I do not possess the appropriate oil for the pallet jewels and will only be able to clean them.

      Stuck on current Valjoux Chronograph repair

      By t1climb1 · Posted

      Hello all, I am working on an older Valjoux Chrono. It doesn't have a stamp on the movement anywhere but I believe it is a Valjoux 72. I installed the train of wheels and they will not turn. The problem appears to be the 4th wheel and the escape wheel are not interfacing correctly. I had to replace both of these parts as the pivots were broken on each. I sourced genuine Valjoux/ETA replacements. I think the problem is with the escape wheel as all the wheels turn perfectly if I remove just the escape wheel.  My question to those with more Valjoux experience is am I mistaken? Is this some other model altogether and I have the wrong part or parts?

      I would remove the wheels, check for damage and if not damaged, clean.

      Thanks for the replies! Here's a photo of the front of the clock and a GIF animation of the movement (exposed by removing the black cap in the centre of the clock). You can see the behaviour of the gears. It's a fairly valuable clock from the 80s (Braun ABW 35). I'm not sure if replacing the movement would diminish the value, so I'd prefer to keep the original parts if it's easy to fix. But since the movement itself is pretty generic, I guess, maybe replacing it wouldn't make any difference with regard to the value of the clock? Or would it? I suppose the value is mostly in the design.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.
