The thing I like about Russian watches is that they are good for the price but not at $1000 I would buy Swiss around that mark. Also Invicta have a great line of watches that we could choose from.
Poljot used to be very reasonable. I have had several and I still have my "Red" Flying Tank which I love. But the 3133 is an Russian copy of an antiquated ETA/Valjoux movement that still lacks a quick set date complication...I don't know what all the other "goodies" are hanging on the side of that piece, but Russian over $500 is no bargain.
I also agree that Vostak is good. I haven't priced them recently, but still own Vostok-Europe K3 Submariner.
Gotta take exception to the statement that Invicta has a "great line of watches" though. They did, but that was many moons and many business ethics ago!!!
I was not being serious about Invicta that was a bit of a joke.
