This one is in a hunter case.
Joseph Stalin.
In fact, it is not just Stalin; but the front and back are exact reproductions of the obverse and reverse of the Soviet medal for Victory over Germany.
Compare.
The obverse (front lid).
And...
The reverse (back case cover).
A small seconds hand at 9 o'clock.
As regards the movement, it is powered by the Molnija cal 3602 movement -- a large pocket watch handwind movement, with quite a pedigree. However, seeing as this watch is from the 2000s, the movement is in its later version -- rough finishing, yellow plates. In short, rather despised by most collectors. I opened the case and looked at and, even though I made no photos, it is exactly like the movement in my Pearl Molnija watch from the same period.
More photos.
Hello, very random but I’m looking to age a watch and find out if it is real. Can you help me?
ReplyDeleteHi, not an expert on dating or authenticating watches, sorry.
DeleteA better idea would be to try asking on a watch forum like, say, watchuseek.
