A Polish web page with downloads. (Zegarki / Pobieralnia - piekarnia)
The first five links are to spare parts catalogs already presented at this forum. The last download link (katalog1 - 140 MB) is to wristwatches catalog from 1960s or early 1970s I haven't seen before.

Well found, storyteller!! The catalogue has plenty of Raketas (yessss!).

Does anyone have a more accurate estimate of the date?

Also, does anyone know of a website which can recover text from image files, so that I can do an automatic translation?

Thank you!
i have uploaded a pdf readeble versione here Katalog1.pdf

A site for automatic translation is www.free-ocr.com , but i have never used it.

I tried OCR, but it gave hopeless results.

However, by using a combination of Polish, Romanian and Russian (plus some help from Google translate), I deciphered enough.

Thanks again for posting, storyteller.

One of the languages is Bulgarian. If some specific (i.e. reasonably short) text has to be translated, I will be glad to help.
Many thanks for your work, mchap and of course, the main credit goes to Prof. Zdzisław Mrugalski - the Polish watch enthusiast who scanned and published the catalog on his web page.

Prof. Zdzisław Mrugalski? ok! I'm writing a document that would eventually be an index of catalogs and books available.
So I always try to state the name or nickname who has released a catalog, book, white paper.
( if you like you give a look at the italian version, still in draft status , here OROLOGIKO :: Leggi argomento - Non siamo all'anno zero: Cataloghi, Documentazione ed altro. may be i will do an english version too)
