Seiko movement into a Vostok case. Is it too thick
Hey all, I have a few Vostok automatic watches that need some help. The movements, I'm afraid, are junk. I'm wondering could a 7s26 or an NH35 fit in the case, or would they be too thick with the rotor? I am going to TRY to take apart the 2416b movements, but if I could buy a new Seiko movement that I trust and install it, that would be much easier and time and cost effective. I just would like to know if it's practical. Thanks, all.

My experience with Watch modding will say it won’t fit but I have not tried that yet
My gut feeling is that the NH35 would still be too tall to fit a case designed for something like a Vostok 2409. The NH35s automatic winding bridge has to remain in place for the movement to function. The other question is the vertical position of the winding stem, and how it would related to a Vostok case. (This I honestly don't know.)
The NH35 movements with the rotor are definitely thicker, 5.3mm (NH35) vs. 3.5mm (Vostok 2409).
Okay. I'll have to try to fix them or put a 2414 hand wind movement into them
They did have 2416b movements, BTW
Are there any movements that WOULD fit in the Vostok cases?
