First New Raketa Automatic Bought!

 Not by me though.

A forumer on WRU (watch.ru Russian watch forum) has just bought one of the first Raketas Automatique -- Raketa Avtomat. Could even be a pre-production piece?

Here is the link to the forum post [in Russian], registration may be required to view pictures (not sure about this).

I think the movement is the new Raketa 2615 movement, decorated

The New Raketa Automatic?

 First the Raketa Amphibian and now the Raketa Automatic.

Apparently Raketa Watches sent a letter to some members of a Russian watch forum (watch.ru), in which it told them about their forthcoming new Raketa Automatic with pictures, including an advertising poster for the new watch due to go on sale early 2014. Here are those pictures. 

Nice touch. Unless, of course, it is another attempt at free Taliban (i.e. guerrilla) advertising by the Raketa company.

Personally, I miss the Raketa of old - before von Polier - with watches priced at $30 - $40 with a wide variety of dials. 

Is This the New Raketa Amphibian?

About a week back a French watch forum did an exclusive with pictures on the new Raketa Amphibia, automatic, with Raketa 2615 movement.
