 I recently discovered the joys of "Flieger" watches and now own 5 of 'em - 1 Chase-Durer, 2 Steinharts and 2 Debaufré's including this GORGEOUS Limited Edition!

Anyway, since I really love the old 'column-wheel', bi-compax, chrono HW mechs., I've been considering buying a Russian Pilot - particularly the so-called Poljot 3133 - which is really built by "Maktime" in Russia!

So, anyone in here own a "Moscow Classic" Watch with a Poljot/Maktime-3133 movement ??? ...


_____________________________________

BTW, the following "Moscow Classics", apparently older versions of the one above, are almost-universally available on websites throughout Europe as well as here in the USofA ...

FWIW, I think there are really terrific-looking little chrono's - , but I AM aware of the fact that REAL Poljots are now extremely rare!

Should I worry that the Moscow Classic's are essentially 'Clones' of the ORIGINAL Poljot 23-J Bi-Compax Chrono's now being made by the tens of thousands by 'Maktime' in Russia! ... ???

TIA for ANY feedback on these (hopefully, robust) li'l chrono's! ...
