I've had this Buran Swiss ETA Auto for awhile. It gets some wear now and then, but tonight I decided to open the back and take some pictures. Inside is a gilded gold ETA movement, 25 Jewels, signed by Poljot. It is pretty basic except for the stripes and the Poljot name engraved on the rotor. Plastic instead of metal holds the movement in place.

The watch winds really smooth and the lume on the dial is really good. Nice and bright green. Dial is a carbon fiber type of some sort. Polished Case is about 41mm and it is about 10mm high. You don't come across this model very often. Buran also makes it in a plain silver dial.

Nice

Everytime I open a watch and then close it, I find that they always give you Extra parts?

Thanks! It is just ok on the inside. A little better than what I expected, but then it looks like an Asian/Swiss ETA or an ebauch of some sort. Once you close it up and use it, it works like a charm. :D
