Hi all time fans!

 

short intro: I am Gertaap from NL and I am like Russian time technology a lot. I have many Poljot, Vostok and Strava’s and I have been collecting them for some years. I do also service the watches to practice. 

My my favorites are the 3133/31659 Shturmanski and the 2809 Vostok chronometer movements.

I just bought a very nice MIG clock too, a bit bigger than my other collection...

I also have some Swiss watches but i like the no nonsense working horse movements from Russia!

 

bye, Gertjo

      Just missed it! I have a donor movement on its way. But thank you for the offer--I'll let you know if I need anything else.

      My latest. Timex 2465. Replaced the crystal, caseback gasket and spring bars. All in less than $5US. Added a gray NATO strap I already had in stock.

      I've been intrigued by everyone's input here...so I decided to give this a shot. I bought the"typical" Pearl watch-machine basket and trays, for about $65. The trays are good,..the housing is a nightmare ! Thought it would take the mixer off my bench at anything above about 200rpm. The housing is cast of course,..and it's not "true" at all...so the harmonic vibration was insane. So,..I bit the bullet and bought the Elma housing and top. Not the baskets though, as the Pearl one's fit the Elma. Saved a bunch there. The basket and lid came to about $80 with shipping. The opening in the Elma top is 8mm, and the shaft that came with my stirrer is 6mm. I bought a piece of steel tube, 8mm O.D., and 6mm I.D. Cut off about an inch of the tube, and drove the rod into it. Gives a really snug fit.... Lightly champfered the leading edge of the 8mm section, then lightly tapped it into the top of the Elma lid. Spins like a dream now So... I have about $240 total into this including jars and steel mesh for the wave breakers   I'm pretty happy Best to you all   Randy
