Poljot de Luxe and alternatives
Guys, during my scrolling down the ebay I have found these beautiful classy watches made in USSR (also known as CCCP). It seems they are hard to find outside of the Ukraine region. Is there a way to find those inside the European Union? Also what could be my alternatives to one ? Timex Marlin is the closest thing i can think of or maybe Bambino 36mm. Vostok Classica is below 200 usd but they are all sold out at Meranom.
Just adore round dress watches with 60s vibes and especially if they have some of the art deco in them.
Any ideas? Would not mind if you spammed this with some pics and ideas. Take in mind that refurbished models of Poljot de Luxe can be found for about 100 USD + taxes. 500$ watch is not avalid alternative.
Just a fan of the automatic watches, the ones I can get as a bargain, not the ones I would wear in the Ferrari I don't own.
Try a Sekonda Deluxe. Very close to the Poljot.
Not a big fan of this style but it looks quite a bit like the Bauhaus style. You can get these for around €199.
Not sure what you’re limit is but you might also want to check out Junghans. This is one of their solar watches for around 350
Many of those vintage Sekonda were made by the same factory as Poljot.
You can find them on Etsy, if that's a site you can access.
My Best bet would be Poljot24.de. The owner ships from Munich, Germany and the service is excellent. He's got a few poljot de luxe's in stock.
Oh... I have to buy one of these 60s "specials". Modern watches just dont have that vibe. Will seek Sekunda.
I have a couple of quartz watches from before I started collecting that have a real 60s vibe. They are from Henry of London. Inexpensive and on the large size but have the look for definite.
Not Soviet though sorry. UK via China I suspect!
Sorry forgot the pic!!
Lol, my lady boss has a few of those Henry watches. I have forgot about them.
