3 nice Helvetia's in a week ,....not bad . I went searching when you posted the Cal 64 .

 

The reply feature doesn't seem to be working properly ,.. But to answer your question , Yes I did . I'm watching about 3 offerings . I sent a question to one seller because the shipping calculator isn't working for my zip code .

In addition to my collection, another Vostok with a repaired 2416b movement. Current Beat Error 0.1 ms and a daily rate - 1 s/d. The dial is not where I go wild about, however, it's the first white dial I get black-hands to work clearly visible. The 2nd hand housing is of a Komandirskie which takes the thicker 2416b automatic movement. When time, I may give the case a Nickel re-plating due to some marks / scratches........

And now something completely different from what we have been seeing here... A Slava Woman's wrist watch with 17 jewels. Still needing a service, but working well...

Very clean looking . It looks like a machine . No double mainspring on this little Slava I see .  Made for export with the English writing .

Can I have your dial someone gave mine a good scrubbing and finding a replacement is like trying to find the holy grail.

    • Hi @Roll1ex, welcome to WRT. Is there a big second hand watch market in Mumbai? I seem to see a lot of used watches and clocks on eBay coming from Mumbai.  I used to buy a watch every month from Mumbai on eBay. My mentor told me it was the best way to learn watch repair, by fixing everything that's not right. 
    • Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!
    • As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us. 
    • Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that. 
    • Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?
