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.

    The refurbs are like 98% discount compared to new. I'd be happy with one of those.

      fair enough. Just be careful about buying Soviet watches unless you're 100% sure that the previous owner took good care of them. 30+ year old movements are gonna be super unreliable without proper maintenance. Take it to a watchmaker if you're not sure
