Poljot Strela Chronograph VS Vostok Europe "GAZ 14 Limousine".
I would not say that, according to what i read on on the subject and comment form 3t members (use the search engine, there is very good articles on the subject), and I might be wrong but Poljot watches are among the best Russians you can buy. Vostok Europe on the other hand, are made in Lithuania, so not Russian but uses Russian Movements. I have a Gaz-Limo 14, well, I had one that I had to return for a minor flaw on the dial and I'm still waiting for it to arrive after over a monthbut, that said, the Gaz-Limo is a great watch and VE are great watches for sure. You can see some pix and first impression on mine here: http://www.timetechtalk.com/view_topic.php?id=17795&forum_id=2
Like I said, I'm still waiting for the replacement but had enough time to look at it and to appreciate the quality of this timepiece.
The Poljot Strela Chrono is a totally diffrent animal but also a nice watch and I would not be afraid of getting one with the 3133 mvt.
Just my two cents, hope it helps! hand6.gif
I am happy to report that your replacement is on the way to you! This is a good article about Vostok-Europe:
