Well, I already posted my latest arrival, it's this one:
Latest acquisition was today at 6AM with many, many Bushmills in my head but it went ok for a change : Wasn't a bargain but it came close to that...
I still hadn't this dial nor a Ministry case, so... I was hesitating about getting these with white or green numbers but figured the white digits clash less with the golden markers... It's an incoming, will see how that turns out...

My most recent and therefore current favourite is this octagonal case black bezel 'antimagnetic' Amphibia. I'm particularly keen on the dial with triangular markers - don't see these that often. The dial's not in great nick, though ...and the antimag shield's missing! So, far from perfect, but nevertheless, I really like this combination.

It`s been sometime since I added to my Russian collection but I`m hoping (finances allowing) in the not too distant future to obtain a recently serviced white dialed Sekonda 3017 which is obviously far to small for it`s present owner :wink2:
Cheers Mac, looks good with the light coloured dial.
I just thought 'early 60s' was close enough :wink2: The Russian watchseller who I bought it from reckons production was 1957-1964. He also gave me a great link to a 1960 Soviet watch catalogue - they appear on pages 156 - 158. http://german242.com/books/ussr_catalogue_1960.pdf
I think it would have worked a lot better if the dial was all yellow or red. That white ring is a bit lame. I always liked this kind of propaganda paintings but I'm not seeing myself wearing this one much. That's what happens when you combine Bushmills, lack of sleep and ebay
I made a point of wearing it all day today just to see what people would have to say about it... You know what? No one gives a flying **** about what watch I'm wearing or not
hi Martin.yes as i told you earlier wanted a couple of russians for my collection.got to slow down a bit now though.710 keeps getting to the post man before me.i would just like one of those that Kutusov was flashing in raketa paketa post.keeping my eye out.cheers terry
This one is here thanks to Julian Latham... a pleasure to do business with you!! :thumbup:
Poljot Strela reissued 3133. It's not the new and bigger reissued Sturmanskie which honestly I don't like so much. This one is an early 2000's and it's closer to the original one in size and proportions. What is also great about this white one is that you get the best of both worlds: it's a dial like the black Sekonda with paddle hands and no numbers but it's also a white dial like many of the cosmonaut and initial Strelas.
So enough talk and time for a couple of pics (night-shots which is my handicap... although I think they turned out OK this time)
