Is this Raketa Big Zero Mechanical?
Just bought this Raketa Big Zero from an eBay seller in Ukraine. I suspect this is a "franken" version of this 1970s version. Checked the dial, case and movement and all seem legit except for the hands. Thoughts?

You are right about the handset. The dial appears to be repainted. I don't know if the case is original, they were produced with several styles of case. If the movement is a 26xx then you have the right movement.
Big Zeros sell for several times what similar Raketas sell for. In original condition they are usually whooped.
In its present condition you have an interesting conversation piece that will keep good time.
The mechanical movement is 2609 so that's a relief.
I think Frankenwatches are sometimes acceptable, providing they work well and aren't hideous. Very nice piece👌

Thanks. I do like that watch.
