I just have one

£25 for this manual wind.



Actually one of my favourites, not had it long.

I do like the 2 Poljots 2 and 4 on your 1st pic.

I like the sekonda that you seem to have on every strap going, it looks good.

Lovely collection.

Crikey Elster- that's a really beatiful watch, the blue dial looks a mile deep and those fancy lugs are fantastic- i can see why it's one of your faves

The Sekondas that are all just about the same were out in the 70's if memory serves, they were about £12 or £14 each- even the gold plated ones (nice quality plating too on them!)


Cheers, John

They are.

The watches weren't though, just branded as Sekonda.

Hello Andy

That's a fantastic post on TZ- Thankls for posting it

The stopwatch on my Sturmanskie has been dissabled unfortunately, the reset levers have been removed (i have them somewhere), it was this way when i bought it.
The watch part works perfectly and keeps excellent time..

Cheers, John

Here you go. Note: I never said it was worth anything!

That's nice and different though, I take it the dial inscription is solar related as 24hr polar watches are ( were) used for navigation, have a butchers at a Yema North Pole to see what I mean.
It could just be decorative of course, but nice all the same.

[ShadownINja]

24 hour watches can still be used for navigation. Point the hour hand at the sun. North is the 24 hour marker. Or was it the other way round?

I went through a phase of buying them, I have 2 broken ones somewhere at my parents and this beauty that I fixed when the weight came loose.
I give you a Vostok Automatic KGB:
