gasebah Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Thinking about building a Tudor. 7032. Problem is these 7734 movements are becoming rare and more expensive. So I thought about buying a watch with a Poljot 3133 movement that should be almost identical given the fact that the Russians bought all the machinery and tools from Switzerland. Any ideas? You think it is worth a try? Poljot watches with these movements are out there in abundance and can be had between 80 and 200 € in almost new condition.

Nightwatch Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Interesting idea: here are some specs/comparison/info on the movement: http://www.strela-watch.de/watch_movements/3133-maktime-poljot/ Just posting to follow-up later if this is feasible, stem-height etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Here is an another interesting comparison. A poster answering in the thread claims that a 7734 dial won't fit the 3310 but does not elaborate as to why. Maybe it is just the dial feet position. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f54/poljot-3133-vs-valjoux-7734-lysanderxii-224306.html Edited October 15, 2016 by gasebah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Too bad. Guess the answer is here: http://watchguy.co.uk/service-poljot-chronograph-calibre-p3133/ Quote: "While quite similar, the Poljot 3133 cannot be substituted for the Valjoux 7734. The Poljot is considerably thicker and dial feet are in a different location." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ok, so that was short-lived. Still it depends on the caseset itself and which movements it does take, dial feet could be cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasebah Posted October 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Would be great to have exact dimensions, but did not find anything on the net yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
