This thread is about the appreciation of watches, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a functioning timepiece.

soviet raketa my father got from the other side of the iron curtain back in the 80s (it's the version they distributed for the non-cyrillic countries like hungary or eastern germany). repaired it and got a new leather strap since the original silver one was too broken to fix.

Interesting dial. How much did the service cost?

About 100 eurobucks, but they had to replace the hands, some mechanic parts and the glass. Did it back in 2013 at a local shop specialized on russian watches.

A little hard to say; a lot of my collection is pretty niche and so doesn't have super liquid price reference. If I had to get rid of the entire thing very quickly, I'd probably get the highest price for the 9R65, but pieces like the GP observatory chronometer might compete.
