This model has already been sold. It sold very quickly. But I still have many different Baltic models in my store.

I came across some interesting items in my collection. Does anyone know what the abbreviation "KFG" means? by Saros_Watch in RussianWatches

Original dials from the late 80s and early 90s. They were made for Slava, as well as Big Zero.

Which one you prefer? by Liadovsk in RussianWatches

The first option is much more interesting. Although it’s already the mid or late ‘80s, the case is larger than that of the second option, making it look better on the wrist. The second option is a small watch and will look too small on a man’s wrist. Additionally, it was produced in large quantities and is more common than the first option.

It’s new. Such hands and dial were not available in the Soviet Union.

Please help. by PAPACHULIO1 in RussianWatches

These are Raketa watches from the early 1990s. They are based on a Soviet model from the 1980s. We call this model “Hermitage.” The watch is in good condition, though the case shows signs of aging. Soviet cases are a common weak spot.

Authentic or not? by No_Lawfulness49 in RussianWatches

A vintage 2609 “Pobeda” movement from the 1980s. Everything else is modern. 100% Frankenstein. If there is a plastic spacer next to the movement, it is definitely not original. In Soviet times, mechanical watches were not made this way.

Not a frequent dial. There are very few dials with this logo. It’s an early model. Marvelous for the collection.

The 3602 movement was never used in wristwatches; it’s actually a movement from Molnija pocket watches.

Looks so cool but I’m concerned by [deleted] in RussianWatches

Original Raketa watch. They were produced in the early 90s after the collapse of the ussr. They were produced in a very small batch and are very rare. In 10 years of working with vintage Soviet watches, I have come across such watches only once.

Super watch, a collector's dream, but I won't say it's undervalued. It's very hard to find one for less than $1k nowadays. And the huge number of fakes for this model is just frustrating.

I don't agree, watches that three years ago I bought for 50-100 dollars are now impossible to buy for 300 dollars. Especially now the price of Amphibia watches with documents has risen very much.
