Well, I'm afraid I bit off more than I could chew today.
I was wearing my Poljot Junghans 88 look-alike today (3133 movement), and I noticed a couple of fairly large dust specks moving around on the dial.
I took it apart and blew off the dust. So far so good.
The problems started when I started to put it back together again.
I just couldn't get the movement to fit with the barrel for the stem lined up with the case .
I ended up moving the hands on the sub dials and bending the large second hand.
Watchmakers here won't touch Russian watches, so I was wondering (hoping) if someone would be willing to repair my watch or recommend a watchmaker who could do it.
It seems such a shame to junk it
Thanks for any advice.
John.

I suggest you keep looking - - more of an "independent" watchmaker. He should know that the Poljot 3133 is essentially a Valjoux 7734, made from the same machinery in fact! It's much more Swiss than Russian.
Thank you guys. Right, well I had a strong cup of coffee and had another go.
I managed to get it together and it's working now, sort of.
I'll leave it as it is I think. Learnt my lesson though.:(
