0002  Sekonda

From photos. Dial reads 'SEKONDA de luxe / 23 jewels shockproof / MADE IN USSR'. Sekonda was a UK-sold brand for Soviet watches, so the movement is probably a First Moscow Watch Factory (Poljot) 23-jewel calibre, but this is unconfirmed until the movement is seen. Centre seconds hand present. Caseback is smooth with no slots and looks like a snap-off back; a small V-shaped nick beside the crown is the likely pry point. Back not yet opened, so movement type (manual) and jewel count are taken from the dial and are unconfirmed. Gold-coloured plating on the case is thin, so tape the case before levering. Crystal and dial have light scratches. Second movement photo (close-up of the balance side). The number engraved along the plate edge by the balance reads roughly 2446762, matching the owner's reading, but the digits are small and angled so it is unconfirmed. Red jewel stones and a regulator index with a +/- scale are visible. Balance and hairspring look intact. The case rim has impact damage, with cracks radiating from a dent. The earlier note said the dent was by the lower-left lug; in this view it is on the rim at the right of the movement, so treat the position as approximate.
