So today on the daily thread Skip posts a cool Russian and I say to myself "Self, don't you have that same watch?" I go to my box of Russians and it is not there, so I pull a couple things out of the safe and there is an old box on the bottom shelf that had these four watches in it...no idea why they were there, but they were. The first two I think I bought from Oscar a couple years ago, the Pink gold and the Aviator i think came from R2All on one of Craig's sales Except for the Aviator they all have the same 18J Moljina movement. Here's some pics               |

you know what I am going to say!!  Really like the first one due to personal taste, although the Aviator at the end is amazing IMO, that will most likely have a 17J Poljot movement 21600 VPH. Here is a link to Russian movements hope its interesting for you. http://www.vostok-watches.com/movements-russian-watches.html ND Last edited on Mon Jun 14th, 2010 04:38 pm by ndburley |

Looks like Molnjia 3603, check the link I posted. Not Poljot by the looks of it, great movement though. Here is a hand painted 15J Molnija   Last edited on Mon Jun 14th, 2010 05:33 pm by ndburley |

Yes there are copies and too close to argue models in the Russian movements, a lot in Poljot and maybe the Molnjia movement, Vostok seem to remain as bit unique though. |

Russians watches blew through here a few years ago and we owned many between the members....quite a bit of info is here by using the search engine with lots of pics as most of us have moved on... |

Beautiful watches. I've looked everywhere and can't find any watches I'd forgotten about. |
