Raketa Big Zero - Soviet Watch - Authentic - 2609HA

This is a Raketa Big Zero with the authentic 2609HA movement. This is the most sought after of Soviet watches, and I was happy to stumble upon this one which is of high quality. AUTHENTICITY: It features many authentic parts which are often wrong in fake or Frankenstein-watches. The hands appear to be original, and the movement is correct. The dial appears to be correct with rounded triangles and the small “notch” above the 0. “Raketa” appears to be the correct font. The crystal is bezeled and appears to be original. This was often replaced during the life of Big Zeros with a more rounded acrylic crystal. When I acquired this watch, I was told the seller had gotten it back from a watchmaker with years of experience working on Soviet watches. The watch is in working condition. Needs new wristband.
