Looks a bit like a GUB Spezimatik, which was probably the inspiration for the GO Senator Sixties. As for Vimpel - were they not an aerospace supplier, which possibly got some co-branding on watches? Very cool specimen you have there - impressed!

Quick trip to the East with Raketa - where were these taken?
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-08:11
I recently had an opportunity to take my Raketa that I got earlier this year closer to its spiritual home and place of manufacture. To start off with, a special prize to the Purist, who will be able to tell, how much closer to home I brought the watch fro...
What I thought :)

Was definitely not a planned acquisition but I felt very much drawn to it from when I first saw it
Did not know you had one!
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-08:50
Looks quite interesting - never seen one like that... As for place, no
I have a Vimpel Poljot as well.....
By: S F : June 14th, 2016-09:11
very similar to the Poljot.... same factory but not sure why the different branding. The dials are awesome for the price And your Raketa looks like a GO 60's. ...

Let\'s see if anyone guesses, otherwise I will of course reveal it
So...
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-09:02
Did you decide on one?
Very cool!
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-09:48
Doing a course / degree, or more hobby like?
Wow!
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-09:53
Out of curiosity, or are you planning to do it for a living?
Good on you!
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-10:45
Hope to have the time for something such in the years to come
Wonderful!

A sabbatical seems quite appealing at the moment And for such a cool reason, too!
Is is enough...
By: KMII : June 14th, 2016-13:52
To repair your own watches, though?
Not sure
By: Alkiro1 : June 14th, 2016-14:04
Because we will only learn two ETA calibers (manual and automatic) and, if you want to repair a watch, you need pieces, oils, greases... If it is a very basic caliber why not but if you covet to repair your AP or Lange you can forget that ;-)

Not quite...
By: KMII : June 15th, 2016-21:45
But getting closer St. Petersburg is where they were and still are made but the pict was taken elsewhere in what used to be the SSSR
Gdansk? . . .
By: Dr No : June 17th, 2016-12:27
. . . for sure it's not Anaheim, California ;-) . . .
Wrong direction ;)
By: KMII : June 17th, 2016-12:48
Northeast of Kaliningrad should be the place to look... A Hanse League city, if that helps
Memel? . . .
By: Dr No : June 18th, 2016-22:10
. . . now known as Klaipêda? The last time I had to think about the Hanseatic League was during history exams in high school ;-) . . .
Bingo!

Here a more complete shot And as promised, here\'s a preview of the present - will deliver in person first time I\'m in the area ...
That could work!
By: KMII : June 19th, 2016-10:40
If you PM me the details and I can make it happen, I\'ll throw in a dinner, too
