From Russia With Love - Poljot 3133 Okean

[icius]

My latest and greatest.  The watch seems to be working fine but I do want to service it at some point.

Nice watch icius. I do like chronographs and have one of these that I should go and reassemble.

Ah - the Russian take on the Valjoux 7733 - good stuff.

I was going to say it looked familiar until I read Will's post. It is a very nice watch! Congratulations and hoping when you service it to have at least some pictures!

 

Cheers,

Bob,

 

Yeah I found it very interesting that the Valjoux company sold the equipment they used to make the 7734 to the USSR.  Poljot then used that equipment to make the 3133.  Or so says this site:

Don't worry,  I plan on doing a full write up/pics for every movement I service, unless of course it has already been covered on here.

let me know if you find anywhere for spares for this!!! - looking for the centre seconds hand wheel and pinion still!

Jnash. Given the similarities between the 3133 and the Valjoux 7734, I wonder how many parts are interchangeable? Cousins doesn't have much for the 3133 but they seem to have just about everything for the 7734.

[jnash]

Checked this, there not the same I. Afraid :(

[icius]

Bummer. I'll keep an eye out then. Let me know if you find anything too.

Any luck finding parts for this? Im looking for an escape wheel and a couple of other pieces for the 3105 which is the same as the 3133.

Just talked someone out of a 3105 for $35. Now I can swap movements and get this thing running again finally!
