Silga watches were produced in the 70s and were part of another manufacturer Raketa, from the former Soviet Union. The ad for the watch you are looking at says it needs some work, this immediately provides you with two problems, number one you will need some money to pay for the problems to be rectified and number two, which is a bigger issue, finding the parts for such a watch will be difficult. This can also be a problem for all watches. Finding correct parts can take time, and in some instances, be expensive, so sometimes it pays to be patient and find an all original example rather than buying one with isssues and trying to find the correct parts. Originality is probably the single most important factor for most watch collectors.
