Well it’s that time (lol) again for a little story – The other day in the gap between xmas and new year as i was purusing the bay and i came across an unusual but familiar fob watch, first impressions were someone has cobbled some bits together but as i looked more it seemed more and more authentic. So some quick searching revealed absolutely nothing the only pic was the actual one i was looking at. To me the hands looked wrong, they seemed to be off of one of the square textured dialled sekonda’s . So i continued to watch and no bid’s (start at £19.99) so i decided it was worth a limit of £30 put in my bid and waited , the finish time was 08.30 am in the morning and someone else had had a little tickle up to £22.30 , i then missed the end by 2minutes (idiot) only to find I’d won . It arrived on Wednesday and after checking it wound and the alarm worked i set it and waited, and so far it has lost only 30sec’s since. It needs a good clean but otherwise a great watch.
So last night i thought to myself it’s a lot of work to make a case like that there must be another and to my surprise the only other one i could find was(yes you’ve guessed it ) in Mark Gordon’s collection USSR Time i:d 1311 page 132. It seems his is a Poljot named signal from around 1977, so not exactly the same but very close. To say the least I’m very pleased.
If anyone else has some info on this please add to this thread.
And now (at last you say) here’s some pic’s with a few comparisons to give an idea of size etc.
