Worth it buying?

Advice on whether to buy this mechanical watch? Repurposed from a pocket watch, original movement, made in the USSR. Retro. The price is less than 120$

You pay for the uniqueness and artist's craftsmanship. If that's worth $120 to you, go for it!

That's pretty cool. I like it. If you like it, you should buy it. 😁

No shock protection on the balance. Almost all wrist watches have had shock protection since the 1950s.

Looks cool, similar layout to the ST36/ ETA 6497.

Looks very similar to a Molnija movement. Looking at it, the only difference I can see is that the one your looking at has three screws in the main bridge, and it has a jewel in the centre, Molnija has two screws and plain bearing.
