Hi there, For sale is an almost new Poljot chronograph watch (w/tachymeter) that I purchased new and which has simply not gotten much wrist time due to yet another purchase (a Poljot Basilika chronograph). It is powered by the legendary Poljot 3133 movement. It is extremely accurate and the...

Hi all, For sale is this Luch 3055 Soviet watch, made in the U.S.S.R. The 3055 is one of the most unique watch movements ever made. It's a battery powered hybrid electro-mechanical with both a quartz regulator and mechanized balance wheel. You can read about it here: Luch 3055: The art of...

Hello everyone, Could you please share your thoughts regarding these two watches below. Especially I am interested about the mechanism. How accurate it is? I cannot find an info about them. Caliber Seagull ST2545 - Red Star Traveller Automatic - Seagull ST2545 Caliber Peacock SL6601 - Red...

For sale is this beautiful Poljot Okean. This is the current generation re-issue of the classic Russian Navy watch. I bought it new in 2019 for $700 and have worn it less than 50 times. It's in near mint condition with only some very slight scratches on the undersides of the lugs and on the case...

Hello everybody, What russian/soviet watches do you know that are somehow associated with mountains? They may have mountain-themed dials, or inscriptions, or be known to be used during mountain expeditions. Any ideas? :)

Following along the lines of the old Zvezda on man wrist discussion, I recently purchased this Poljot for a few reasons. The dial is in fairly good condition (has minimal tarnishing). It sports a 2408 movement with the 1963-75 1МЧЗ logo. It has an interesting engraved back which also confirms it...

Hi everybody, I've been scouting this forum for about a month now and decided to ask for an advice. Right now I'm looking at the Vostok Amphibia owners, but feel free to add your two cents if you think it's going to help me. I got into automatic watches and would like a new daily beater in...

On some watch dials I see the jewels written as "17 камень" but on others as "17 камней". I studied some Russian in school years ago, but not enough to know if this is simply a minor difference in wording, or, if one is authentic and one is a fake. Thoughts?

I kinda made a knee-jerk purchase purchasing my first Russian watch. I've seen Sturmanskies have a 3133 movement but I just purchased one with a P3133. Can someone please explain the difference or if I've made a big mistake buying this watch? What worries me is I don't see a serial on the...

I know it’s russian but I know nothing else

For sale is the classic Vostok Amphibian 420 cased "Scuba Dude" model, on a blue perlon strap. I purchased it new around 4 years ago and have worn it only occasionally. Condition is very clean overall, with just a few small blemishes on the side of the polished case. This particular Amphibian...

Hi all! This is my first post on this forum and I have a burning question! My partner handed me a watch to service that belonged to her (Russian) grandfather with an interesting text saying: "from the government of Moscow for service to the fatherland". Due to some obscurities within the...

Hello, I just started watch collecting, and I wanted a Strela 3017 as my first watch. I found this on eBay, and I have already bought it. I just want to hear some opinions about this watch. Thanks much appreciated.

I recently bought a mechanical Russian watch (sub $50); it keeps decent time (-1min a day). However, it has a cracked acrylic crystal. I am debating a sort of clear epoxy fix (if possible) or a replacement crystal. I have no experience in either vein. The crystal is of the box dome variety. I...

I've been a strap buying binge. Here's what I came up with for my Poljot Okean Maktime Re-issue: Blue REWA heavy duty single pass strap. I actually don't remember where I go this. The blue matches the blue on the watch, but I actually don't like that. I think it looks better to have...
