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.

      I got a Vostok several years ago, I love it.

      Mechanical watches are cool, I like to hear it tick.

        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.
