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.

      Neat!

      I wonder why the feminine ones aren't on ebay though? Rarer?

        I hope you aren't judging by my post because these are just the ones I thought were cool so they reflect my own tastes.

        But OK, OK I did a bit of searching and found some real beautiful ones. Again filtered per my tastes. But the much lower amount of... how could you say... "tackiness" like space race or hammer and sickle imagery isn't my selection; I just didn't find much of that in the women's. Not much by way of cartoons on these. But a few of those.

        I really especially love ones with ceramics, lacey metal and stones. And the simple ones cause they are more like my style but with narrow bands. But if I am deviating from my actual style I am definately going with one of these Luch pieces with flowery details.

          I was! I should have looked for myself, sorry about that.

          Some of these are weeeeird, in a good way. I like them. Thank you for the effort.

          Incidentally, we need a "show all images" button.

            I don't really know why the images are blurred in the first place. I'd rather they just all be visible.

            Probably there is a user script or extension that would accomplish it.

            I agree they are weird. This is what worker power looks like. Would love to read the minutes of those meetings.
