Time Pieces: What's On Your Wrist?

I wear a Citizen Eco-Drive that operates from any ambient light source. I've had it eight years now, with no trouble at all! I find it to be an astonishingly good watch for the money!
I also have a Victorinox, Swiss Army watch and a Craftsman belt mounted watch that is articulated at one end and snaps at the other, so you unsnap the bottom and swing the face up to read it! Both are battery powered. I wear/carry them for working with my hands!
In the event of SHTF I have two wind up pocket watches. My grandpa's railroad watch and a really nice, modern, engraved one with Swiss works! Both are in top notch condition!

A little joke on me! While in S Korea I ordered a Seiko Military Chronometer at the PX. I couldn't try one on because they were temporarily out. So it arrives and I pay for it and open it with mounting excitement! Now at that time I was 6'4" but only about 180# so I was real skinny! So I put that big, beautiful, time piece on my wrist and OMG!!! It looked like a 1909 windup alarm clock! Stupidest looking thing you ever saw! So, right back to the PX to trade it for a more suitable watch! At least I wound up with a small Boulova that lasted 20 years!

 

Ok monkeys...I need some help here. I found this whIle cleaning out the garage. Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

The sigil is Russia (and then there's the cyrillic). The brand is "pronounced" Poljot. Poljot watches are manufactured by the First Moscow Watch Factory.

Still digging on this model.

Poljot - Wikipedia

Any chance we can get a better picture of the back? The angle is making it tough to read some of the engraving.

***ETA***
Your watch is the following (best I can tell):
Poljot manual wind mechanical wristwatch

Russian-made Poljot wristwatch with manual winding. Cal 2614.
Chrome case with gold plated bezel. Gold plated bracelet.
Champagne dial with the Russian flag and 2-headed eagle.
Watch celebrates 300 years of the Marine Fleet of Russia.
Engraved "Admiral" (АДМИРАЛ) below the crest on the watch face.
Domed mineral glass crystal
Manufactured in 1996 (hence the 1696-1996 below the crest and above АДМИРАЛ)

 

17 jewel, high quality Russian watch, made after 1961. ( that's when they started using that brand name). I've seen them for under $100, but most are about double. Don't know about eBay ...haven't looked.

Nice "find" in your garage!

 

I'll get a better pic tomorrow. Thanks all for the info. I was getting nothing with my searches...time to brush up on my google-fu.

And to add to the thread, here is the one I've taken to wearing lately.

 

So riddle me this, what is:

• Inexpensive
• Rugged
• Reliable
• Non reflective
• Easy to read in the dark
• Accurate
• Reasonably waterproof
• Preferably analog dial
• Basically a tactical watch but not at a "tactical" price

I don't wear watches myself, but do see the advantages of knowing the time during SHTF.

 

Define inexpensive. Gimme a range.

 

Lowest price that meets the criteria, definitely less than 100 USD. Even better if it's 10 USD so I can buy a few of them.

 

Non battery watch preferred since it may have to last until factories can make them again.

 

Non reflective is going to be a real limiter. Instead, I would suggest a wrist shroud for when you really don't want a reflection. Brokor's is a good example. I haven't purchased a new watch since I received my Submariner (which unfortunately needs to be regulated and I really can't afford the $600 or so to do so right now).

 

Citizen eco-drive (light driven). My best thought is to sand the case to cut the glare. Maybe Krylon after sanding.

 

Nothing, I'm retired!!!
