Hi guys,
I am playing with a vostok 2416 movement. I took it out of storage where it did not run for months (but not years). The movement is not new, I ripped it off a watch.
The balance wheel seems messed up. I managed to put it back and it ticks but...
...the beat error is 20ms
I have been trying to move the beat error level but I can't get it below 5ms
also, at some points the timegrapher (cheap Ali and TG software) does not even pick the beat even though the wheel is ticking.
Any tips welcome, apart from oiling/pro servicing which is the obvious end option but not a likely one as the watchmaker will cost as much as a new movement
I don't really care about the movement. I am using it to understand how this works
