Aloha , My Good Friend came on Saturday with a couple beat up watch's and I scored again. I looked in a little plastic box and this was in it all apart. The Dial I cleaned it up because it had some dust and smeared on dirt. I cleaned the case and set everything on my mat here. Then I said well I have to do it now so I started. NOW : The Puzzle Began, I had to figure out what goes where and what to do very carefully. I was very glad whoever had it placed the Balance Wheel in a little plastic container with some foam to keep it safe. Crystal was a little blurry also with Very small scratch's. I did it last night and this is the result of what I got done and I was very proud of myself too. I never did one like this so I was totally in-experienced for it but I got it going good and it keeps good time also. The Dial is very nice with a spray effect on it but after I did the ... Plastic Crystal the reflection was the hardest to picture. I like these challenges and like to have a few more come around to get them going. They are very nice and look so plain and cheap when seen but they work great when done. A Russian ZIM Phobia watch : Case is : 33.86mm Cushion Case Back Case w/ Crown : 35.60mm Stamped Russian Movement Lugs : 18.13mm Dial is like a Red Strawberry Spray Cushion Case Back Movement fires right up with a shake. Had a old Flex Band bracelet so I used it. It sit on my wrist about the size of a 25 Cent piece. Aloha and thanks for looking Louis

I quite like it, bit of a retro feel. The second hand is interesting but not sure it's in keeping with the rest. Nice save all the same.
