Is it authentic?

Supposed to be a 1970s vintage Komandirskie.

I think it's OK. Ill phil has one up like this minus the inner second ring. And a gold one like this also iirc.

Nice second hand!

Thanks guys!

No SU mark on the movement? mmmmmmmmmmm I have got some doubts.

There's one in Michelle Cuoccio's collection identical except with chrome hands. I think gold hands are an acceptable variation although it may have originally had a gold case that was cashed in but the chrome case is the right shape, etc. Movement is the correct hacking 2234. SU is not a consistent identifier.

I'm going to chime in here to say that the gold hands with a silver case is a bit of a red flag for me plus the dial looks like its been re-touched some.

Is it safe to say that as a rule, gold hands should accompany a gold case, and chrome cases watches have silver colored hands?
- Would this rule just apply to this style Komandirskie or would it apply across the Komandirskie family line?

no it is not the correct case. This face have a different case. coated with gold. and this building 84-85 years. that's my watch in this case too, the hand does not have the correct chromed.http://forums.watchuseek.com/attachm...-my-show-4.jpg
