Rare Soviet Poljot Vintage Alarm Watch Restored Inside and Out

Video Description

Today, I’m restoring a Soviet era alarm watch I picked up on eBay. The watch isn't running at all and the case is in rough shape. I intend to fully service the movement and restore the case by reshaping and replating it. I also demonstrate how this mechanical alarm watch works, and touch on a bit of the rich history of the Poljot brand of the First Moscow Watch Factory that was founded under order from Joseph Stalin. The watch houses a 2612.1 caliber movement, which is a direct copy of the AS1475. If you're looking for an incredible watch repair or antique restoration project, be sure to check out my video! I'll show you how to fix this vintage watch and get it back to working order. #restoration #watchrepair #wristwatch #ussr #sovietunion Contact info: [email protected] Many of my tools I use are affordable.
