I thought it should have had a bezel but it would have to have been pretty thin

a lot of watches that time had the same sort here's my yema talis mister&ankler same sort of thing

It's a Poljot 2614.2H, Is, the same movement as my Aviator
Ranfft has it in production from 1972: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-...Poljot_2614_2H
I loved that watch the other time I saw it (Smeagal?), but I've never seen another
Bezelwise, might be worth measuring it and seeing whether it'll take a Meranom or Murphy Vostok bezel (given that Soviet stuff is so standardised)
Happy New Year, folks, btw!

Seeing your later posts above, the original bezel looks a lot like the one on the Prim Sport 2, one of which I just happen to have lying around the place
Get out the tape measure!

never even look at the movement had a look in to them quickly one lot said it was swiss another lot said it was swiss for the germany market now I am lost again

the one I put up has swiss made on the dial ?

Your movement pic:
SU = Soviet Union, Poljot logo at 9 o'clock
Movement number top right :-)

As I say, I've only ever seen the one of these. From the design it looks 70s. Obviously for the Western market. Perhaps the rules about what you could call Swiss made were more elastic back then?

smeagals not mine but yes looking at it it does have the Russian marking was not disagreeing there just saying what I found out about them saw a few two chronos with grd on the dial and two divers with swiss on the dial confuse it a bit was interested from last time and have been watching them on the bay seen a few but not like this dial thou

Ach, where's the smiley faces when I need them?
I wasn't disagreeing with you mate, just observing what I saw
It *is* an interesting one. I wonder if RE was a private company putting out small runs of watches sourced from different suppliers, a smaller Sekonda/ Cornavin type operation, or whether the Russian driven version is a copy of the Western RE design?
All very mysterious

[is that my watch]
