Tell me about this interesting Russian gift please!

[dom9]

Gents,

My old next door neighbour (back when I lived in Houston, TX, USA) gave me this watch as a gift.

I know absolutely nothing about it at all.

It's not my 'style' but it is interesting none-the-less.

Anyone know anything about it??









It's pretty thick (no ruler at home) and feels fairly solid. Automatic too, though I can't hear a rotor at all!

Looks like it could be from this site.

Does the crown feel really weird and loose? It's designed that way apparently.

Not a bad watch at all for the money.

Is it not a manual wind ? Has an alarm 'complication' too.

Google Translate will also do image to text if you want to try translating some of the document.

However I have found it can be hit and miss with Russian sometimes and I end up shouting at it because it's just so wrong.

Poljot alarm.

Thanks chaps!

It could well be hand wind but does seem to run with a bit of a shake! Would explain the lack of rotor sound/ movement

I haven't worn it nor even pulled the crowns out as I wanted to work out what it was and what everything did, first.

Certainly an interesting piece and was bought in-country, I believe. He also has a red Sub that he was willing to sell...

Will have a dig around those links and have a play.

I can't see it ever getting any wristwear but it was an interesting present, none-the-less!
