You have to be really deep into the archives in the first place to even know what you are looking for.
There are a zillion of styles over the years, several different manufacturing plants, going through different styles.
Keep in mind, though, I am no wizard of ancient slavic horology, so my voice might count for nothing as I dont know shit.

But if you would allow for a few comments on your pic rel, I would argue that:
>polished case
a case from that era, whichever it may be, would be pretty dinged up
so either somebody buffed out the old rickety case or bought a new polished one from chyna
>the hands
quite the peculiar set of hands to be on what seems to be a military style of watch, much too elegant
>the dial
Im not aware, Im sure they did to some extent, but dont know how much the soviets used the minute marker pattern on their watches, most of what Ive seen is hour indices, they often left the seconds dial bare
>the crown
seems much too thick for whichever time period this piece is supposed to be coming from, the crowns before the turn of the century were all slim disks
>the movemet
what are we looking at here? can you tell the difference between a combloc made movement and a cheap repro or entirely non-fitting movement? Ive seen jewtube restoration vids of classic omegas with miyota quartz movements running a meme scam. do you know what to look for?
even if supposedly mint soviet example, a bit of green oxidization on the edges of the case could be a good indicator of the genuinity

As I would like to repeat, I am no expert, I may or may not be under the influence at this time, but something smells fishy, and if it does, in the watch world it either means you dont know shit, or you are dealing with a cat in a bag.

Keep digging, the journey is the fun.

Love the vintage Pobedas. Dont know how they are mechanically, but I like how the subdial is an integral part of the design, not an afterthought and doesnt cut into any hour markers. Unlike some Swiss/British/American designs of the time (and now).
