A nice new Russian Avia Hand Winder just came. It arrived with a NATO strap which I haven't a clue how to adjust. So, off it came for a Bros strap. This is the same 43mm case found on the Poljot Flying Tank watches. Same Molina 18-jewel movement. Same crown, same everything. 43mm may just be the perfect size. Not too big, but just about perfect for a 7.25 to 7.5" wrist. The lumn is very bright upon a charge, but it fades quickly to a dull glow. It's acceptable, but not great. However, the inner ring with the dots DOES GLOW which I didn't expect. It has a glass exhibition back where you can view the nicely Geneva stripped movement. Run time on these I've found to be around 50+ hours. Pretty good, but not quite as awesome as the Poljot 3105 movement's 60+hours. Attachment: rusclass.jpg (Downloaded 66 times)

Congrats! :) Great looking watch! I love the Molnija movement, especially the extra-large balance wheel. And they do pretty good job of decorating them. Much better than the stock 6497/98 Unitas. Dan:)

Nice lookin' watch. I don't know if I could argue against 43mm being the PERFECT either. As for the NATO, try here for help ; http://www.gnomonwatches.com/NatoInstructions.htm Very helpful... Enjoy your new Russian!! cheers, Pax

Thanks for the instructions on the strap. I bookmarked the page. I'm not sure of the purpose of this kind of strap is. I've never owned one or been attacted to the look (per se). It covers up the glass back too. I know a lot of people like them. ??:D
