Fantastic Gary, and, it's just begun thankfully !  Smile Seeing these remarkable Russian watches always is a treat,
and definitely not a trick sir. I love the exceptional design of this one as well as simplicity, and your super strap !!!  Cool

Thanks Guys,

Cool story, this one is one of those I got in the 'LOT', the lume from the minutes hand had fallen off as one big piece and was laying on dial. I checked it a few weeks ago and it kept good time, so I tossed it in the 'needs repair' box. I got to thinking I bought a set of hands for another Russian I had with lume issues, so I looked and... same minutes hand (different hours and seconds), so I dumped out the movement and proceeded to change the hand. The seconds hand fell on the floor and could not be found, so I changed that to the cool red one with the pip. I love this watch with the new strap..it rocks!!

Hi Darius, a terrific evening actually, along with Deep Blue there ! WRUW Thursday 10/6/22 803574 I swear, you could put this beauty in a time
capsule, and take it out 100 years from now, and it would fit in perfectly. ...There’s alien DNA in this dynamo D !!! alien

Don’t mention it Gary. Wink The thanks really goes to you !!! cheers

This watch, as well as story are both too good, and too cool !!  Cool  Cool

First it’s amazing how this was actually another new pick-up from that mother load sir.  Surprised
That really was some kind of treasure trove, holy cowza ! ..And second, I love how this
watch was in need of repair, and you subtly, as well as so easily just stripped it down.
Then did the work, just like it was a piece of cake.  Idea ..For any of us, this would have
been a real chore, and there’s a good chance I know I would have messed something up. lol!

However, you not only fixed the issue with the lume, but ended up modding the watch,
and making it even better than it was ! WRUW Thursday 10/6/22 46145

Oh, and yes, just the strap is a great addition G ! ..A COLOSSAL congrats, and terrific job !!!
