Is this a truly Pobeda, I have seen dials like this only on the Mayak.
The white field look a little "funny".
Is this item something good or some kind of "kitchen-table work?

For sure I have a very similar one! But I must open my pobedas box to compare if there are some differences. But yes, it exists in Mayak version but also in pobeda version. I shall revert

Pewh!
Many thanks! To tell the truth, I bought it a few weeks ago without enough "researching" about this one. I started to think I'd aquired some kind of homemade when, "trawling" on the www iI only found Mayaks with this dial, so... Feels much better now.
My doubts started when I had a good close look at the white painting. I'm not sure if is easy to see it in the picture here but having it in one hand, pardon me, the painter did a not so good job with the aerograph.
Still...It's good enough to me...

Dear MRC,
Ooops!!!..... I promis to myself never to answer again based on my definitively weakened memory!! (My wife keeps hammering me that I forget increasingly easily..her birthdate...)
I ask to be pardoned.
I went through my two boxes of pobedas and unfortunately what I was thinking was like yours is not!!
There is a pobeda cooper color but without white ring and another small one white with copper ring!
Effectively there is a rare cooper pobeda like yours . Someone has published a pic of that pobeda in the Forum relatively recently)
So your observations are true: the white ring is painted over that very rare pobeda more recently and not very skilfully! Probably the Numbers on the original were damaged...
So, your worst feelings are most probably verified.
At a great loss for giving you most probably false hopes.

Why do I recognise Your first lines, wich btw is tomorrow and I have to find a nice present to her.... A real problem .
Don't even think about apologising.
If I remember it correct the price was about 23-26USD, it's not a terrible loss, besides this is a "learning-fee", and the paint job hide surely a very intresting history, wich sadly I'll never know.
Maybe there's a sligh chance to remove the white layer with a good chemical paint-remover, the original paint is usually rock-hard.
Still, I don't want to ruin the copper layer, in my opinion a very beautyful one.
