Yesterday I took the old watch of my grandfather - vintage Кировские. He was wearing it since I remember him, till few years ago. The watch is working, I still didn't measure how exactly it is keeping the time. I will try to restore it as it's one of my memories linked with my grandfather.
Just to post the pictures here, I hope there will be "before" and "after" post soon :roll:

The glass, the crown and I will investigate possibility to replate the case, as it seems chromed (this or next week I will browse the jeweleries).
I want to reach this result (USSRWatches picture):

And here it is today, after I took it from the watchmaker. Unfortunately the crown and stem needed replacement. The watchmaker also was able to re-plate it with chrome, but convinced me that the watch will loose it's "natural" view, so the case was just cleaned, the mechanics - cleaned and oiled, the glass - replaced and I even get one year warranty for the watch :)
