Has anyone else comes across the CCCP watches on ebay? Just search for that. Here is a bunch of images I saved. These are really cool watches. The main reason I haven’t bought one yet is that I become wracked with indecision.

I don’t have the attention span to be reading a lot about watches tbh but I did find some places that are discussing these if you do like that sort of thing.

Oh and I will also note that many of these are available quite cheaply from refurbishers. A few of the below run hundreds but they are primarily well below US$100. Many are below $50 and a few below $30.

prepare for outstanding cool

I don’t find a gallery function on this site, I hope the format is not terribly rude.

    I’ve got a Vostok Komandirskie

    Only reason I don’t use it more is that it requires winding almost everyday. But it’s got really nice build quality for the price.

      That’s pretty sweet!

      I have been considering if I even have the patience for an automatic.

      If you are willing to wind or shake your watch daily there are hella gorg choices.

        Just wanted to say that this comment made me instantly raise my watch up to my ear to listen to the tick for a couple seconds.
