But after 40 years it's unlikely that the polishing is looking as bright as that: Forget it. This is old Russian steel: Not the best stainless you can find now.
So Mark Gordon is repolishing his polished watch cases before photographies?
There's nothing unreal about my model: Every details are closed to exactly like your model, except the case who's in nickeled brass. Just look the pictures again.
Yes, my movement is poor in jewels but it's exactly the same who was used by Zlatoust.
Now, you very much know that many diver cases was made from nickeled brass back in the time... But never in Russia ?
I bought mine from a collector in Switzerland who was claiming that the case was in polished steel: Wrong.
My straps is obviously a remake: I know how the originals looks like.
And a strap don't make a watch.
But if there is a thing I know: It's that no remake/imitation I ever seen is matching my watch. Even on the site of Mark Gordon.
I still don't have any answer from the Zlatoust factory but I will have it one day: Question is... Will you like it?
