![]() A quick search online shows several people trying and failing to find mainsprings. While I'm looking for a replacement, I have used this particular watch for probably eight years and it would be nice if I can get it fixed. 0 Comments Production stared énd of 1947 and the last movements were made in 2007.This movement désign was further improvéd by the Russiáns in 1964 and became then the 18 jewel movement known as 3602.The 3602 is a much better time keeper than ChK-6 but the ChK-6 has a nicer finish pattern. The watch is not in great condition and not high quality to begin with. It's been about two months since the fix and while winding there was a small snap and it won't build pressure again. He ended up not being able to find a replacement, instead fixing the spring somehow for a reduced price with a warning it would be more delicate and probably not reparable if it broke again. I took it to a local watch repairman and he identified the problem as a busted mainspring and said he could find a replacement. A while ago I was winding my watch and there was a whirring noise and it lost the ability to build tension.
