 I just couldn't resist ordering a bunch of Soviets after buying my first Russian a few months ago. (Red Square VE LE)

Being a chrono junkie, the 3313 Poljot movement is obviously a must have.  I eventually settled for the one pictured.  The same online store had a good selection of straps too. I ordered the black leather with orange stitching at the same time, since the stock strap (tan) doesn't do it for me.....

The 3313's are not renowned for accuracy. However, this watch is running at +10 sec/day - not bad!

I really like this design, and it is quite similiar in feel and size to my Chronomat.

 ...........and a pic of the rest.

I also settled on a Buran manual cranker with alarm.   Apparently these movements are becoming increasingly rare, so it gotbought.. Quite contemporary for a Russian!  Not up there in the accuracy department - running at +33sec.   Quite a nifty alarm, and it actually works rather well!  The next best would be a PAM 98!subtlelaugh.gif

The blue VE on blue silicon strap was actually a giveaway thrown in with the deal...  Keeping below +10's, and very comfortable to wear as a beater. 31 jewel auto.

 In particular, I like the Buran. They make a good watch overall with generally excellent lume. Nice set! cat28.gif
