Hi, I took this sturmanskie to a High Street jewellers and asked for a service as I’ve had it for about 10 years. All the watch functions were working, even the hacking function when you pulled the crown, which i always thought was unusual since it’s a 3133. Anyway the shop telephoned me the next day saying the watch mender couldn’t service it. I went in to collect it and the chrono buttons were not working. i told them the watch was fully functional when i brought it in. Anyway after a…

Sturmanskie Chrono FAULTY can anyone help?

Letting go is harder than it seems. I’ve decided that having 65+ Soviet watches is a bit too many. Sold 8 of them this week. Will sell another dozen or so. But. But, but, but.

Hello all! I am looking to get into watch servicing, and I have decided to buy a few non running Raketa 2609.HA’s to work on. Does anyone know where to buy some in bulk? I’d prefer 3 or 4 with the casings.

• the case it’s not probably its own
• the hands are not its own
• the dial would profit a cleanup

for the case I’m not too worried, can even remain as it
for the hands: I have this pic as reference…

New to WatchUSeek so apologies if this on the right Forum:
I’ve just purchased in non working condition this Majak alarm clock which clearly uses a watch movement to energize the alarm buzzer.
I love the look of it and would be interested if anyone has seen one of these before and any info on it would be most appreciated
