Poljot!

[HeatonNorris]

I'm not a massive watch person, and usually wear a battered old Swatch chrono... but this caught my eye on eBay a couple of weeks ago. So I bought it and it arrived from the Ukraine this morning

It's 'worn', but with a new (cheapo) strap. But it doesn't matter, because I really like it.

Good effort, lovely clean looking dial on that and unusual finish.

I have always fancied a Strela, but the second you start looking is the second your eyes open up to the slightly crazy world of reasonably priced Russian watches!

Looks nice. Presumably it was a bargain price as you'll never know if it really was a Poljot or not! In any case, avoid the £50 thread and the Incoming thread or your savings are in trouble.

Nice eye catching design. I had one in blue, but I damaged it

It a around 25 quid including delivery.

Trying to keep away from the Russian watches on eBay, though, as it's too easy to start buying more watches than you could possibly wear when you look at how many really nice ones there are out there for 20-50 quid.

Ive been looking at the Russian watches too.
Is there anything particularly wrong with them quality wise?

Well, the one I bought has lasted 40 years or more...
