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:

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

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.

    • As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.
    • Thanks Jon, my mum is getting there day by day, so strong and determined, they dont make em like this anymore 🙂 Old folk are so amazing,  my mum used to love her golf, she didn't stop playing until she was 70 . Enjoy your trip and your golf.
    • Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance. 
    • So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
    • Very best wishes to you and your family, as a carer myself I know how difficult things can be.
