Most of the Russian watch factories has closed down and slowing production. You will noticed that Vostok Europe (which is not Russian btw) is using Seiko movements for Anchar and other quartz movement.
As for Poljot, same thing, Maktime has also ceased production. I can't recall the exact details, but it can be found in WUS.
Quite sad actually, so the only active and oldest watch factory will be Raketa, which did a pretty good comeback with very nice classic designs and other modern designs, of course don't expect it to be below USD100.

Re: V.E Anchar Titanium
Yes, Vostok or Boctok is the Russian watch factory, Chistopol Watch Factory.From Wiki, "Vostok-Europe is the joint-venture company between famous Russian watch maker Vostok and Koliz company based in Lithuania."
As for Raketa, you can browse around here: http://world.raketa-shop.com/" false;

if it helps.. I went to the Ion branch to take a look once. Asked the sales person about servicing and repair and etc. He told me that if anything goes wrong or should there be a need for servicing we can just send the watch to them and their own people will do the service & repair. He claims that 'their own people' were trained by them to repair/service these movements. and yes he was referring to those that are made from that factory that supposedly went bankrupt lol..

It's big but it wears well on my 6" wrist.

Yeah the feel of wearing it seems tough n rugged but it has its elegant side. Though this caspian sea monster no longer in oroduction, parts wise is common to other vostok watch. It shouldnt have parts difficulty.
best is send back to RAW for servicing.
doubt any watchmaker locally will wana service a Russian ;)
