Back from the shop!

After 3 weeks, I finally have this watch back from the shop. I got this watch as a gift from my grandparents several years back. I did not wear much and kept it box for all these years. A few weeks back, I decided to see how it ran and realized it was losing a few minutes a day. After some part replacement, cleaning, and a new lizard strap, it is now running and looking great. Raketa from 1980s.

Don't know if anyone else on this forum is into Soviet watches, but I thought I would throw it up for everyone to see. Let me know what you think!
