Pobeda

Eliminator

Not worn this Pobeda much, even then, only for a day at a time. Had it on my wrist for several days, it had gained over a minute. Thought I'd pop the back off and have a look inside. Gave the regulator the slightest of nudges and got this, dial up on the timegrapher. I paid $16 on Ebay from Ukraine. Plus 5 seconds, dial down. Err, hmm, crown down is minus 220 seconds. But as I said earlier, wrist time it had only gained just over a minute.

With old watches, wrist time counts for more than the timegrapher.

I have a similar dial that was £19 delivered, quite a few years ago now. I got it running between +9 / -35 on the timegrapher (beat error is woeful) but on the wrist it levelled out to -10 / -20. I should open it up again and move it to positive if possible. I'm like you, I always prefer on-the-wrist measurements, and use the timegrapher as a tool.

(Movement is a 15 jewel cal 2602)

I feel the same way.

I have a Raketa and always worry about the sporadic timekeeping but, it truly is only for half to a day wears at a time.

It’s a conversation piece more than anything 👍
