Just in.. Slava 2414

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.

A Russian 2 piece case back.

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?

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Mine is almost over as its 9pm here in Malaysia.

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

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.

got a couple of slavas myself one is the 2414 date, the other looks similar but day/date.cannot see the number yet.the hairspring is going at a rate of knots! i also need a balance for the date movement? need a case or two but struggling to find unless a buy a complete watch which i dont really want to do,plus on the day/date mvt it needs a button to change the day.if i cant find one i may just give them a clean and lube and resell them.B

    • nevenbekriev- You nailed it with your description of me and my reaction when the clock started ticking again. I am a newbie.  I love the sound and idea of mechanical clocks but the idea of owning one and trying to keep them running has never appealed to me. My wife bought this one and an antique German wall clock.  When I looked into having someone repair them for me, the universal response was "it's really expensive to work on them, you should just replace the movement". So, I had nothing to lose, I started researching them and opened them up. The wife is happy because she hears the sound of the clocks again. But I have gone down the "accuracy" rabbit hole. In the vertical position, the balance wheel was not floating. It was sitting on the bottom of the frame. I adjusted the lower spring collet and got it floating. It easily passed the 270 degree 3 to 5 minute oscillation test. It took 8 minutes for the wheel to completely stop moving.  I put it the unit back in the movement and checked the safety pin. It does not touch the safety roller anywhere in +/-270 degrees rotation from neutral position. But the amplitude of the rotation with the spring fully wound is weak based on what you are saying. It rotates +/-90 degrees from the neutral position.  No, I did not take the movement completely apart.  That seemed way outside my skill set at the time. There is a reason I became an electrical engineer and not a mechanical engineer. I am much more comfortable with moving electrons than tiny moving metal parts. Will I do it in the long run? Anything can happen. I don't seem to be able to let it go.
    • Isn't that the same guy who told Zelenskyy to escalate the war with Russia/Putin when they already had a peace deal? 2 years later and we have half a million young Ukranian boys dead. He doesn't seem very clever...
    • Thanks guys.  quick question. For automatic movement, particularly this one. can I power down the main spring by pushing this rachet down?  i've gotten pretty used to SW210 and powering down a manual movement. But so far i've only been waiting for the auto movement to run out of juice before opening the case.     
    • @Murks the problem you have mate is most watch cases out there to buy are for Seiko NH3X, ETA 2824 and maybe Myota 8XXX movements, oh also the big ETA 6978/9 movements which the dials start around 28.5mm. You might find one on a Google search but I suspect your main chance will be buying cheap quartz ladies watches and hopefully find one of the right size and condition that is acceptable. 😞   Tom
    • The anchor pin should be perpendicular when the anchor is sat on a flat surface and if you post a close up picture of the backplate I will be able to tell you the correct torsion spring , running fast or slow is usually wrong Torsion spring. Here is a video from my YouTube channel showing how I set the beat
