Hello all, I've recently become interested in Russian watches and are looking to pick up a vintage one off of ebay. I've gone through these forums quite a bit and found the sellers through posts here. How do these watches look? Legitimate or can anyone tell me anything around the date, etc...

I am wanting to add to my Russian collection. My goal is to add at least one model of each maker. I came across these two which look too good to be true in the their condition. I question if the dials are reprints. I searched and could not find any references leading back to the Pobeda company...
