received a most interesting watch today.

A Molnija 6305 in a pocket watch.

What's interesting, the watch is in Hebrew. Everything works backwards including the winding mechanism.

Pam, I have this watch as well (Junkers 6434)....Just purchased last week. It is losing 2-3 minutes each 12 hour cycle. In my work, this is unacceptable. I am trying to decide-return or replace. Given your experience, is it an anomaly....Should I expect better performance from this model?

 

Thanks

swips,

My experience with molnija movements is that they are reliable and accurate.

Yours seems to have something wrong.

1st of all Welcome to 3T swips and like peewee has stated the Molnija is a workhorse of a movement much like the Unitas but have a tendency to run fast/slow...a certain amount of break-in time is needed but losing 6 mins a day seems not up to par...I would get an exchange or at least have it regulated ...that would drive me nuts being that Slow...:P Hopefully the Dealer has a good exchange policy and another in stock to Exchange ....Good Luck Pam, I have this watch as well (Junkers 6434)....Just purchased last week.
