I’d be terrified to wear that skinny little thing.

I never buy old Soviet stuff unless it’s been serviced. It’s just not worth it.

I collect Soviet watches. And these days most of the ones you’re getting come from parts bins. It’s been a long time.

commented on Repair or no? ·

I expect it’s a parts bin watch. Pretty common in Soviet watches these days. Export models generally had English on the faces they will say JEWELS instead of KAMHR and USSR instead of saying CCCP. People in Soviet Russia often liked to try and get the export models because there was a belief that they were finished better. No proof that it’s true but that was the prevailing wisdom.

It’s not an export version, export versions have English faces. It’s not a model I’ve seen if you can repair it I’d repair it I think it’s a very attractive watch. I didn’t notice the English day wheel it’s probably just a parts bin watch. But I still like it I would definitely put a Russian day wheel back in it though. Finding a cheap running watch with the same movement and just swapping the movement would probably be easier than even fixing it.
