Hi guys..

Sharing a few pics a Slava I got off the 'bay.

Sellers pic was a bit blur but it had a movement I liked and was advertised as running.

The crystal was pretty scratched up but it was running.

Quickset date by pushing this ..well..pusher!

As you can see , the crystal has a very high 'rise' and this contributes to the overall thickness.

And this is the reason I bid for this watch..it has a Slava 2414 (or maybe a different number as it has day and date) with twin barrels. It looks pretty clean and the finishing is slightly better than the other Slava movements I've seen. Its running pretty well these last two days but I'll probably tear it down and take some pics and post them here.

I spent a few minutes with some sandpaper and autosol and managed to clean it up a bit. Interesting dial with some constellation around the edge of the dial and some Russian words where a minute track would usually be. Also some numbers.  Anyone can shed someone light on this? Or speak Russian?

These are the zodiac signs around the dial. At 6 it says made in Russia.

Hiya
I've also bought one of  these similar dial Slava watches on eBay.
Mine cost me $9 - hopefully I can get it working and running pretty well.

I will upload a pic in a month or so when its done.

Cheers
Alex

I've gotten my watch :) I stripped it down last night. Cleaned. Waiting for re-assembly.
The dial is pristine and beautiful! I really love the Slava dials.

Mine is a 2414 date movement. Twin Barrel.
It had stopped running because the dial set screw had fallen into the movement!
Springs nearly flew across the room from the tension.

    • Ok. So given that I had free oscillations DU/DD for roughly the same time, I reassembled with the pallet fork and bridge underneath, and now I can see two more problems.    1. The arms of the balance are nearly flush with the pallet bridge. Bad. I can speculate as to why…the end shake still looks to be too much. Maybe other causes as well? 2. The balance doesn’t spin freely. In the resting position, it looks like the impulse jewel is outside the jaws of the pallet fork. Not by much, but still outside. If it needs be inside in the static position, then I’m guessing I’ll need to rotate my hairspring collet to change orientation by a few degrees.    The journey continues…
    • Ok, that's good to know, thank you.
    • Andy, why you betray me?   I may have good news. I'll share later!
    • Hi. I have been touching watches for quite some years, but haven’t before pretty recently decided to jump of the cliff by trying to do basic service for the first time. It is a simple Seiko 6602 I bought as a renovation movement.  To be honest I struggled. Mainly because I wanted to do everything correctly and with all the right tools etc from the start.  From just having basic tools I invested in quite a lot of things in order to dissemble, clean and lubricate the movement parts. I can say it was a journey.  Taking care of the balance jewels looks really easy watching all the great videos, but god damn… I have been lucky and only shot away things that was found but come on. Anyway. I have now managed to “service” four movements and the result is what makes me want to keep doing this.    The first movement was a Seiko 6602 and it was in a pretty bad shape. When I run it on the Timegraoher now I got an amplitude of 270 and in all positions it stays around +-2s.    I have heard some “amateurs” saying this is a hobby you’ll get stuck to and I am already there. It doesn’t matter if it’s a fancy movement or a simple 6602. The feeling after been struggling and you see the result… it’s amazing! I am still in a state where I am confused and don’t know which watch press tool is best, or if I need the most fancy hand tools etc, but to be honest. This is so stimulating.    Sorry for not really adding anything new to you all pros. 
    • Casio normally put the movement number of the case back. Edit So it's a 709 Module (as Casio call then) you're looking for.
