GenTLe Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 ...you know? I kind of like it After some research I got that it's a real Russian watch, produced around 1980 (when the Soviet was in a kind of trend here in the west EU) and the whole watch line advertised as "the real Red Army watch". In reality (the Vostok was really the watches ordered for the CCCP army) the gen Red Army ones were those reporting "3aka3 mo cccp" on the dial, which means "by order of defence ministery". Anyway, I still like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Pretty cool Why are there 2 lume dots on 5? Cause one felt from 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 It has a domed plexi so I like it. Kind of cool. The double lume at 5 just helps to verify that it is 5 o clock somewhere.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nice one Bobcat! I spoke with my colleague, I told him "look: there are 7€ for the crown, plus the relume (which is expensive) plus a bit for my job...". He said "Ok, keep it..." I have one project and one watch more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobcat99 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Great strap! Thanks man- I had it custom made pretty happy with how it goes together! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks man- I had it custom made pretty happy with how it goes together! They absolutely fit! Bob, a question for you: today I completely unassembled it in order to put it back in shape. One thing I'm not getting is if the crown of mine is ok or not. It is kind of very loose. It's like a rolex spring crown but assembled without the spring... After having it unscrewed from the case, I need to keep it pulled a bit in order to be able to hand wind... Is it the same in your too? Thanks, GenTLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, GenTLe Hi GenTLe- I don't think you need to worry about your crown, mine is pretty similar. I have no Rolex to compare but the crown is pretty shaky at all positions. If I unscrew to adjust the time I have to screw right in then unscrew again to wind, and the crown moves easily up and down as well as round! A strange little watch but I love mine!
