Hello TRF members. I found a guy that is selling and AVIATOR russian watch and i am thinking to buy it. The price is 300 euros or 406 $. It's going to be my casual everyday watch. What do you think guys?

at the back it says that it can hold 50 meters of pressure and that it is equipped with a sapphire crystal.

Thats a nice looking watch....not sure who could do the parts/servicing though ?

frostie · 24 August 2007, 08:51 PM

Looks good to me!

It looks like a good watch. All that is left is to examine it thoroughly and decide what to do

Russian watches are considered bargains and this one is no exception. Made from dies of swiss watch movements, they are almost as good as the original, usually at a fraction of their price. (Personal observation has told me that they don't keep time quite as well.)

If you like it, go for it.

thanks for the info Alan

i have another russian watch which was manufactured during communism it's really old and it's keeping time great. I am going to inpsect the watch thoroughly before buying and probably test it for a couple of days.
