There is no screw for releasing the stem.

an overpriced 44mm (??) 3646 build with a Molly 3602 that the seller is trying to pass as a NOS Cortebert...am I missing something here or is this another scammer (hopefully not from the HF community...)....this is not worth 1200 USD IMHO!

He just add an extra zero to price

That's a lot of dough!

Wouldn't buy it myself even if money were not an issue.

I guess it's good for rising the reselling price of the watch...

Yes me too! But you'll be surprised what the vintage CROWN crazy & Rich fanatics will!

Folks, you missed the point here.
The price is not for the watch, but for the strap.

There is the legend that Cortebert sold their 616 production equipment to Stalin and that this turned into the Molnija watch production facility.
The ISKRA is a high precision Molnija movement which sports some extras compared to the regular Molnija.
They are nice movements and look great in a watch.
And they are relatively cheap.
But the advertisement at eBay is certainly quite exaggerated as far as the movement pedigree is concerned.
Even if the legend is true the movement has seen quite some changers as opposed to the first Molnijas from 1947
