Got a nice gift Vintage Molnija Train Pocket watch

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I received a very nice gift from my mother in law, an nice Vintage Molnija Train Pocket watch.

 

What is great that the movement looks to be in perfect shape after all the years (even a bit dry out) but it only gains like +15s per day face up.

 

Very nice retro piece :) I put the thin leather strap, that was all messed and dried up, into olive oil and cleaned it, and feels much better now. :)

 

enjoy the pics

Nice! Unfortunately not as nice as the previous version of the Molnija 3601 caliber (here placed into a wristwatch):

If it reminds you something, look at these 2 (the second is how a Panerai 21 really was):

Anyway a benediction to have a mother in law that is not against your hobbies ;)
