Hello,
I am interested to acquire a soviet watch (pre 1950s) for display in my mini soviet museum I hope to be able to have one day. However, when doing some research on Internet, I discovered that as with medals and orders, there are many fake and fakers and there are many modern re-issues as well.

I was wondering if there was a member of the forum who had good knowledge about soviet mechanical watches to help me a bit by giving advices and possibly recommending a reliable source.

By example, this specimen currently on a russian auction site.

To me, this is clearly a recently made re-issue.
The original was 15 jewel, this one is 17. Also, we don't see engraved date and quarter of production. There is a mint mark on the big wheel, where original photos I have seen don't have and the cap on reverse said it has anti-shock protection.. I believe the original just have a plain steel cap on back without any inscription.

Replicas do not show wear at all, or very little. Wear tends to show most on the underside, where the strap connects to the body.
