Vostok Amphibia movement i.d. help

[AMHite]

Hello, I need some help from the Vostok fans out there to identify this movement. It is a 17 jewel manual wind that came in a franken Amphibia I bought off eBay. Is it a 2414 or 2409 movement? This particular movement has a bad main spring, which will not fully wind without slipping. Beside the identity of the movement, I need to know a good source for Vostok parts. Besides the mainspring (or complete barrel assembly) I need the caseback gasket (the one in this is junk) and the rotating bezel assembly. Notice the plating flaking off the bezel, as well as the improper location of the red markers. The problems with this watch (the first Russian I have owned) motivated me to buy the Vostok Blue Diver, which I love. I included a comparison shot of the auto Blue Diver with the manual wind franken. Even with the added height, the Blue Diver is very comfortable to wear. Thanks for any and all help.

Regards,
Andrew Hite

Also, if you look at the movement retaining screw at the 2 o'clock position you can see the remains of a watch hand that was used as a shim! Them franken doctors don't waste anything, do they?

It is a 2414. The 2409 has no date. You can request parts on the "parts wanted" thread.
