There it is, the Poljot and Junghans do really look alike.

Thank you. Unreformed66 did an amazing job helping me get it to tip top shape.

This one also just finished at the spa.

Looks good! If you don't mind me asking, what's going on between 4 minutes past 10:30 and 7-8 minutes to 11?
The dial or the crystal/plexi?

Unfortunately the dial has been scratched in the decades before we received it. The crystal is replaced with a fresh one and so what you see there is all from prior folks who were not careful.

It’s a pretty well worn example but i think it has loads of character.

Yes, haven't we all seen traces of a hand touching the dial.

You are absolutely right, it's a proof of a life well lived.

Good and tough watch. But I would ask a designer how on earth he could choose such short hour and minute hands?! They ruin all the layout. How can one read minutes I wonder...

I know but it’s similar to the „original“ Junghans J88 from the 1960s
