Poljot 2612.1

[caseback]

Before disassembling a Poljot 2612.1, I found it to have a lot (!) of play. For instance: the endshake of the center wheel was close to 1mm. Before attempting to reduce the end- and sideshake to the Swiss and Japanese standards I'm used to, I remember reading somewhere that russian movements actually need more play to work normal (which might not neccesarily mean good..).

Is this right? There seems to be a lot of room for improvement..

No, the russian (USSR) movements have the same standarts for free plays like the other watches. There is something wrong with You movement.

Thnx. It looks like the Ukrainian "master watchmaker" performed his miracles on this one with a can of wd40. It should be easy to make improvements..
