Aloha , This one was in the zip lock bag also so it was a real score to get. It looks like it had a real hard Life. Well had more time so got this one going and it turn out nice too. The Dial is a Beautiful Color Red'ish, Maroon, Burgundy in looks but hard to capture with so much light. It tuned out that the Movement need to be serviced also. Don't speak Russian but it looks nice. The Dial says .... ZUM. Case Back is like a Cushion Case. 35.96 Case w/ Crown // 41 ....Lug to Lug Tips ... w/ Spring Bars on. // Lugs .... 18.92 Aloha Louis     |

My wife asked me with all these collected watch's ....when you going to get the very one you like , don't they call it ..." The Grail ? I said yes but ... I am still waiting for you ". I said when you give me ..." T\When you take me off the Rail , and the very Loan I need to get it then I will ". She said that one is to costly, I said ..... " Oh Please Have a Heart ", and she said I have one but it is not for ... " That Watch just yet ". She said ..." You are out of your mind Jack ". My friend here said if you can find the .... " Case maybe I can help with the rest ". His Father is a ..... "Elder Chinese Man and Watchmaker " , in China Town here and I said ....." Whoa Is Me....

That's an interesting small watch, especially the crazy seconds hand.  One addition - the name on the dial is written with cyrillic alphabet, written in latin alphabet it would be "ZIM". This is the abbreviation for Zavod Imeni Maslennikova, or Maslennikov Factory, which was located in Samara. |

Aloha Sir, Thanks for that eeki now I know what I have here but it will go into the other box where I have who knows what kept. I like giving them another chance if possible. Many work again but I just box them. They really do not cost me any thing if they run again. The wife says soon to become a ...... " Museum ". I keep telling her .... " What if I can get more " , she shakes her head. I really do not have a very ... Old Expensive Watch Yet, but some day maybe one will come around. Aloha Louis |
