They totally can sound loud. But. Good looking!👌🏼
Sorry for typos. Im not very good in english. 😅
Generally workhorse movements, not stellar finishing but often surprisingly daring styling. What does the lower dial text say?
It is a totally unexplored area for me. Looks very nice.
Love 'em!

It says: 1м43 им кирова. Don‘t know what it exactly means. Prabobly model number. I know Kirow is a city in Russia. Mabe it was made there.
Looks awesome. As for the loud ticking, it tells you that it's working! 😉
I have quite a few. Lot of luck involved when buying from Ebay, had a $13 Pobeda that keeps good time. Had $50 ones that were advertised as keeping good time, but were not. But at this price, I can live with it.
Love 'em!

Oh no, I didn't do that, my wife purchased it already done. The work is indeed phenomenal, thanks! 👍
I quite like vintage Soviet watches. I got these “matching” 1950’s Svet watches for my wife and I a few years ago.
They are beautiful 🤩
I got one aswell that I got from my father, it's quite small for me so I just keep it in a box to not break it since it's a present to my father who got it for his confirmation in 1972
