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.
- Russian watches | WatchUSeek Watch Forums
- [Raketa] Just bought this one - what are your thoughts on russian watches? : Watches
- The Best Russian Watches From The Soviet Union - Almost On Time
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 Amphibia with a KGB emblem on it. I bought it for $50 from a Ukrainian refurbish/reseller like a year and a half ago - I checked the site recently and the prices have doubled as the stock has dwindled.
My review is that I like it a lot, but its waterproofness is unfortunately compromised by its age. I've been tinkering around with replacing the gaskets and stuff to see if I can restore that bit of functionality to it, and it's real easy to work on even for an amateur like me due to its simple design.
