1 of the major problems with the Slava 2427 was the date not changing and getting hung up so was it wise to leave it out on the Resco or a necessary precaution.
...the 2427 is a twin barrel..there are 5 gears instead of 2 winding the mainspring which the 2427 has 2 of(mainsprings) ...imo a less complicated movement ie:eta 2824/2892 would have been a better choice not only for dependability but also servicing as most watchmakers will not attempt working on a Russian movement...parts are also hard to come by if at all.
...again I don't believe any of this would even matter had the watch been priced lower...much lower.
