Hi, I'm Xavier

I just bought an old Molnija movement, but I'm having a hard time trying to find a winding stem for this movement so I'm wondering if there's a work around solution for this winding stem or any compatible solutions

Thanks in advance !

I know nothing about Russian watches but isn't this a Molnia 3602 i.e. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Molnia_3602_H3_5_2_UF ?

If you agree then you have these options:

Go to http://cousinsuk.com and put the code MOL3602401L277 into their search box and you'll see they'll sell you a stem and crown at a reasonable price.

There are also sellers on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394067566539

 Malnija was produced at two plants, consider if you will one as a variant  of the other, with different stem profile. I think watchmaker advice will ref you to the correct one if you know which version you have, also notice  calib 3602 mainly came in 15 & 18 jewels.

Good luck

    • Never seen that but yes very practical Hector 
    • Welcome, Simeon! I'm into Soviet watches too (not the political system, and yes, I am able to make the distinction, unlike some). They offer amazing value for money. I like your "Big Zero" profile image. It's a true classic and I have one of those myself. I noticed that the hands aren't the original. Not that it matters a lot but here's an interesting article about the Big Zero if you haven't already seen it.
    • I was thinking will the gasket stretch at all to match the desired size.  Did i also deduce that the original gasket is thinner (0 .5mm ) than the cousins gasket ( 0.8mm )  could that just be an effect of you measuring the case for the gasket size  H  ?
    • if we look at and understand why steel becomes magnetised and unmagnetised then its possible to work out why some devices are better than others. Simpy it is a parallel alignment of atoms , electrons within a material caused by external magnetic fields. Different magnetic fields cause different alignments and non alignment of atoms. Fields by AC currents are changing atom direction approx 50 times per second ( 50hz ). As a material is drawn away from a demagging device the field is becoming progressively weaker while also changing the material's atom direction having the effect of returning their random directions ( demagnetising ) . To improve on this demagetising effect, try changing the material's orientation as it is drawn away.  Fields caused by DC currents have the most permanent magnetising effect as the currect is flowing one way only. A good demagger would produce random magnet fields and disorientation of the material's atoms.
