If Molnija factory shutdown production what became of tooling, movement designs, etc. ? Has anyone else picked up ? the 3603 was such a rock solid hand wind too bad to see it disappear entirely.

This was all I could find on a quick search: 03 october 2007 Molniya watches can become history soon Sad news came from Chelyabinsk. The famous Watch Factory ‘Molniya’ has stopped production. The factory with deep roots is not producing the world-famous clockwork series 3603, 3602 and 3600 any longer. These clockworks were widely used by many other Russian watchmakers. The Watch Factory ‘Molniya’ was founded in Chelyabinsk in October of 1947 and was about to celebrate its 60th anniversary this year.

You might contact Frank Spar at order300@aolcom about this. He is a U.S. expat living in Moscow and is a partner in the business importing Volmax and Vostok-Europe watches into the U.S.
