Any pics?  Sounds nice!   I have a cheap Cardinal windup pocket watch that belonged to my dad, but he was cheap...  so it’s nothing fancy.  The crystal is ****.  Scratches way too easy.   The movement is a Raketa 2609.ha which is supposed to be a fine movement.    Apparently, made in the Soviet Union.  I think he got it from a crewman on a freighter he met at the bar. Don’t know if he bought it, was gifted it or stole it...   hard to say with that guy!

You can get one for 40 bucks on eBay.

I could take some and try and post them. I'll have to shine it up first. That's the problem with silver.

I took a quick look online and prices seem all over the map for the old Russells, anywhere from a hundred Pounds to a thousand.
