Hello all, hope we are all doing well.

I need help with my Slava 2428 rebuild. The horseshoe shaped spring with two short alternate facing right angled ends. I know this slots in to the hole under the clicker. I have then wound it around the outside of the pivot point but then in which recess on the clicker does the opposite end go? Is it the smallest recess wich is furthest it can go from the end in the hole? Or am I totally completely wrong? I Did have it in the nearest recess but you get a lot of anti clockwise recoil on the crown after clockwise winding. So my guess would be the smallest, furthest recess is correct? And around the outside of its pivot point?

  I am only a beginner in this wonderful world so please forgive my mainly guessed terminology.

  Any help or confirmation would be appreciated. 

Take care all,   David....

Yes that's helpful. Wouldn't it be nice to have an English key.

I think I have the spring correct. Just in the wrong recess in the clicker. Hence the slight back wind when winding, and not a hugely loud click. Someone asked me for a picture but that's a seriously small spring.

Thanks for the two sheets sir. All the best.

    • Thanks Mark. I think I’ll leave the beat error for now - it’s a fixed stud so I’d have to adjust the collet position.    The watch has bigger problems. On reassembly I’ve found that the hour counter reset hammer is broken - I didn’t do it, the main hammer part was just not there. Can’t easily identify a replacement part. And the subdial hands. The running seconds hand needs an extended pivot tube as the pivot is below dial level. Can’t find one of them either. I’ve found a central seconds hand that might fit it - going to have a go at cutting, filing and polishing it to make it work. 
    • Good morning. I have a Caliber 11DO 17 Jewel that I utterly destroyed practicing on. My question is this. Are the 17j and 7j compatible in relation to swapping out parts such as the Wheel Train and Balance? Thank you in advance. 
    • Ah ok thanks , i see thing differently now. Won't that catch the wheel rim though ?
    • No Mark it does not offend me. I think I have already started another thread on the matter before you replied. But since you are unwilling to discuss it with us, I will discontinue posting there.  Thank you for considering it though. That's a good policy to have H , you should always safeguard yourself. Knowing who you can trust and who you can't is not a permanent thing. People's values change, people change and adapt to their situations,thats just nature stepping in and running the show. Not everyone is as genuine as you are H. The new no advertising looks much better, it never bothered me much, but it still feels cleaner.  I'm pleased that your thread regarding the missing images was also returned, so thats good news as well. It appears a lot of mine have also been removed ...oh well...🤷‍♂️
    • Welcome to the forum. My guess would be to press or lift here.
