It has been a while since i have posted here, but now i have a real specialty for You :)

Vostok Volna (wave) is added to the repairing/restoring queue. This special movement has a fine rate-regulator, indirect second AND indirect minute wheels!!! Moreover, the watch is not stopping if the second wheel is stuck into something. Other special features are the capped escape, second and 3rd wheels (at the dial side only the escape wheel is capped... lol)! The escape wheel is under the balance allowing a bigger balance wheel. 

The gear train was locking, hence the watch was not working. After closer inspection it turned out that most of the ratchet wheel teeth are gone... and the broken pieces were all over in the gear train stopping the movement. After removing the debris it started ticking again.

Nice movement.. I've got two of them somewhere. Only problem is the poor case and hands. The base metal case is really at odds with what I think is a fine movement. The hands on mine (both) are loose and go out of flat if jarred. Problem is its quite thin and using a stake etc doesn't work well here.

      Hi all, I am Mathijs from the Netherlands and I like to restore vintage watches and sometimes customize them. Hope to learn a thing or two here about movements and hope to restore a movement one day.   Cheers

      Hello all, just disassembling to service, but I can’t figure out the working of the calendar work…it’s not operational the jumper and spring are ok, but the operation of the driving wheel has me at a loss. I can’t see a cam to drive anything. Is something damaged or missing? Help please!

      Unusual Seiko dial damage

      Believe the relume (not a fan) was done a long time after the damage.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      I have a little milling attachment for my WW lathe, but very rarely use it and not for wheel and pinion cutting. For that I use a small Sixis 101 milling machine. I normally do direct dividing, but sometimes have to do an odd count and use the universal index which also fits on the Sixis.   Back in the day when I didn't have a mill, I would cut gearing on my Schaublin 102. It has a universal dividing attachment which fits the back of the spindle. Both it and the one for the Sixis are 60:1 ratio, and with the set of 4  index plates I can do almost any division. When I've had to do a strange high count prime number, I print a disc with the needed division and just place the plunger on the dot. Any position error is reduced by a factor of 60 so still plenty accurate.   The machines are a mess in the pics as I'm in the process of making a batch of barrels for a wristwatch 🙃.   This is the Sixis. The head can also be placed vertically, as can the dividing spindle.   Dividing plates. The smaller ones fit another dividing spindle.   Universal divider for the Sixis. I put it together with parts from an odd Sixis spindle that takes w20 collets, like the Schaublin 102, and a dividing attachment from a Schaublin mill.     The dividing attachment for the 102. The gear fits in place of the handwheel at the back of the headstock.   And the little milling attachment for the WW lathe. I just set it on the slide rest to illustrate the size, you can see from the dust on it it really doesn't get used much. I think only when I change bearing in the head, to kiss the collet head seat (grinding wheel still in the milling attachment).
