Crab - Poljot?

Crab - Poljot?

This watch stems from two nice watches, so now it's a "doubly nice" watch. So, why am I so sad, for the old original watches?

Hmmm, I don't think this post classified as a Franken of the week but it's too much !



I saw this listed with a starting bid of $500 and there's 1 bid within the first hour (bidder has 0 feedback)!



I got mine at a tenth of that price !

I hope that $500 watch is solid gold. And lots of it.

Crab - Poljot?

It is plausible. The last of the crab cases were still being used when 1st Moscow started using Poljot as an export brand, which was a couple of years before they adopted it as their domestic brands as well. So there are export Kirovskie, Rodina and Sportivnie watches all labelled Poljot.

OK, I can see now that the raised batons on the dial are an unlikely feature when combined with the crab chapter ring.

Right. It's also incredibly ugly

Quite an accomplishment - as Vaurien pointed out: take 2 very nice watches and make 1 ugly one.
