Hello!

yesterday I finished putting back together a russian wostok 2209.

I thought twice about posting this after seeing what monumentally complicated movements Mark posted... but then I thought this what this forum is for. So here goes:

This is the watch. about 30 years old. I would say it is in great shape.

The reason why it didn't work - broken mainspring.

I centered the mainspring between the regulating pins.

Done!

 

That's it!

Some interesting things about this movement: The friction pinion is on the second wheel - the minute wheel is indirectly driven.

Also there is a double third wheel:

Great work matabog!  And the pics are fantastic.

 

Don't be intimidated about Mark's blogs ... I bet he started out just like us, on the simple stuff :)

 

I really like the look of the watch too ... that one's a wearer for sure.

You don't know the half of it!

 

My old mentor used to make me work on Timex's just for sh*ts and giggles!

Hi,

I'm a newbie to this forum and have just done my first ever complete disassembly & reassembly - and it just happens to be this same Wostok 2209 movement.   I'm very pleased with myself as it still worked after I reassembled :-)  The hairspring on mine could probably do with replacing though - would anyone happen to know where I can source a replacement hairspring, or is it a case of finding another old 2209 movement and canabalising?

Many thanks,
Mike

Have you search Ebay and cousinsuk? Search under watch parts and then Wostok ? I bought 20-30 old  russian  movement from Ebay as a lot Non left as i sold them. But should be no trouble finding a good hairspring or better a complete balance with bridge.

    • interesting video nice to see the machine what it can do now I wonder what it costs and I'm sure it's not in my budget. Plus the video brought up questions but the website below answers the questions? What was bothering me was the size of his machine 4 mm because I thought it was bigger than that? But then it occurred to me that maybe they had variations it looks like four, seven and 10. With the seven and 10 being the best because way more tool positions in way more rotating tools. Although I bet you all the rotating tools are probably separate cost https://www.tornos.com/en/content/swissnano   Then as we been talking about Sherline. Just so that everyone's aware of this they have another division their industrial division where you can buy bits and pieces. I have a link below that shows that just in case you don't want to have the entire machine you just need bits and pieces. https://www.sherline.com/product-category/industrial-products-division/   Let's see what we can do with the concept I explained up above and bits and pieces. For one thing you can make a really tiny gear very tiny like perhaps you're going to make a watch. Then another version the center part is not separate it is all machined from one piece. Then fills gear cutting machines have gone through multiple of evolutions. A lot of it based on what he wanted to make like he was going to make a watch unfortunately eyesight issues have prevented that. Another reason why you should start projects like this much sooner when your eyesight is really good or perhaps start on watches first and then move the clocks then local we have from the industrial division? Looks like two separate motors and heads. Then it's hard to see but this entire thing is built on top of a much larger milling machine as a larger milling machine gave a very solid platform to build everything.   Then like everything else that had multiple generations are versions the indexing went through of course variations like above is one version and the one below was the last version. Now the version below I mentioned that previously and somewhere in the beginning to discussion and somebody else had one in their picture. As it is a really nice precision indexing. Then I wasn't sure if I had a the watch photos here is his unfinished watch. No he wasn't going to make a simple watch like none of his clocks were simply either what would be the challenge and that.    
    • Use a Portwest Howie lab coat. They are the biological type so they have tapped cuffs so you don't end up getting the loose cuffs of normal lab coats catching everything. 
    • Some of the Chinese tools ae great and can be purchased at a fraction of the price of Swiss ones, some are complete garbage and some I'm convinced are coming out the same factory as the branded ones.
    • I found this string about this problem. I've not gone through it all, but I believe it also mentions making a spring. If not in this string, the info is online.
    • No, I now realise it’s broken😥 ive looked for one online, but v. Expensive! im going to service as is, in the hope that  one turns up. Thank  you.
