 I've been getting the russia2all newsletter and have been having trouble resisting some of the the Russian goodies they keep tempting me with. Well, lately I have felt the urge to wind watches and also have felt like a bit of a comrade so I could no longer resist the Ruskie temptation when this subdial handcranker Aviator (Volmax) came up in the newsletter.

Specs per R2A:

Volmax Aviator Sub-Second Blue

2614.02/2925467

  • Black Leather strap

  • Manual Wind

  • Poljot 2614 Movement Accurate

  • Blue face

  • Mineral crystal

  • 40mm stainless steel case

  • Sub-dial Second Hand; Mechanical Date at 12 o'clock

  • 30m | 100ft

  • Super-Luminova Markers
It seems like quite a nice watch with a beautiful blue sunburst dial and subdial at 6:00. Wears larger than the 40mm case diameter. Really great electric blue highlights at the sub second hand, sub second numerals and minute track. Nice finish on the case. I am happy to see the date even though its the Ruskie quick setface4.gif as I have been wearing a lot of dateless handcrankers lately and have actually gone for the date only to be disappointed. This seems a great watch for the bargain price paid imho.

Ordered Tuesday afternoon, received Thursday afternoon. Excellent CS as the manual was missing but a note was enclosed explaining the situation. And then there is always the R2A BONUS!!! I grabbed this bugger as my bonus. All in all a great experience and highly recommended.

 Darn nice looking Aviator watch. I like the auto versions they have too. Great lume on most of them is a big plus as well. cat28.gif

 Oh yeah!  Sweet Russians, big congrats Pax! hand6.gifhand6.gif
A twofer is always nice too, I really like that freebie Amphibia hand6.gif

I got started in this obsess...err hobby with Russians,and now I am back to them.  The Amphibia is great, and I have the custom white Radio Room on order through the WUS Russian forum (both no date, the "quick set" drives me nuts!)

Cheers,
Griff
