Thanks for the link Kath (will read through the German parts later) and for the info in the previous post. Thought you might have some knowledge up your sleeve on this topic

Good to see how well a detailed dial can be reprinted and relumed, and also to see how much it costs

Thanks, m!
It's a lovely watch - as you can see quite similar to the Strela, and I got this first as I wasn't confident I'd spot fakes on the Russian side.

Mine was in better nick than the one in the thread I've linked to, I had the lugs replated as the brass was showing through, the dial and everything else is totally original

The link gives a good insight into dial restoration - it's a very good effort, but the curve-topped 3s would drive me crazy :-)

I prefer their simpler designs.
