I bought a Slava watch with a 2427 in good condition. The trouble started when I was washing my hands and the crystal fogged up. I was worried I got water in the watch. I took out the movement to check, but I didn't realize I couldn't just push the crown stem back in after. This dislodged the yoke from the sliding clutch.

I've been interested in learning the skills to repair watch movements and I picked up a watch that wasn't doing so well with an 11dp movement. I wanted to take it apart and just see if I could get it back together as a realistic starting point. The watch stored mainspring power but would start and stop.
