My grandfather's watch
Calling all Raketa experts
Should I go for it?

For now im not looking at plating it, just getting the surface corrosion off. I have no problem with it being exposed brass.
Originally designed for people with poor eyesight, having thick hands, markers and a very legible contrasting dial.
As @Aurelian mentioned, its more plausible that its a repainted dial, since Raketa havent made a small seconds watch since the 60's
Sounds like a reasonable explanation for this thing. Curiously searching for "raketa small seconds" produces another result for a watch with a similar dial. Makes me wonder how this one couldve come to be.
Not very directly, but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly has a Raketa watch as an item. It doesn't have a model but if you have it equipped and hit a button you have an instant time readout. It's actually the reason i became interested in the brand
I also swapped the calfskin on my Tortoise for a black canvas one. A much better fit in my opinion. And also the sweat off my wrist doesnt destroy the strap as much
