I ordered a Rodina automatic and I can’t wait 😍😍😍 hoping it will arrive tomorrow.
I have a working Sekonda and a fualty but both I have been practising watchmaking on and this Rodina has been serviced so I won’t need to mess with it and hopefully won’t have that incessant itch to take it apart.
Soviet watch appreciation thread.
Speaking of aliex movements, the Sea-gull ST3600 is a copy of the ETA 6497 pocket watch movements that students at Swiss watchmaking schools learn on. Another good choice, they’re bigger and have a little more elbow room than a standard wristwatch movement and there are a ton of videos on YT about working on them.
Cheers comrade, I will pick one up
