A little progress of sorts with the hand-winding Vostok Komandirskie.
I looked under the loupe at the hairspring which seems okay.
I noticed it was running uninterrupted with the crown unscrewed, so I removed the crown stem and cleaned it up with a cotton bud and isopropyl alcohol.
Put it back then ran fine for a couple of days on the bench. However out and about on the wrist it stops randomly.
So I think it will need a strip down, clean, lube and rebuild. Back in the drawer for a bit until I find time to learn how to do this!
