Juat for the heck of it, I blew $113 and bought a Russian gold plated skeleton on eBay, I bet even the Rodentman doesn't have a Russian watch. They say it runs, but if it doesn't, I've spent money foolishly before (and this may be one of those times?).

Hey I like that. You can actually tell time on it because it has numbers. Let us know if you like it and the seller if it turns out good which we all hope it does. I wouldn't wager that bet on RM. I think he has every watch. No joke. Or has at one time had...you know prior to trades and such. I believe this because I have personally spoken to his dealer whom I do believe he keeps in business! ;)

That's a cool watch!

Actually, I DO have a Russian made watch. It's a McLenin watch. Even the Russians have been Westernized enough to "Mc" something they want to make fun of. Lenin is now O-U-T. Hence this piece.

Rodentman:

Do you somehow rotate the dial to give you those different time zones (I don't see a rotating bezel), Russia is a huge country, with several time zones.

I didn't think I would hear from you, I thought you would be busy since I understand that the squirrel mating season is upon us. Eichhörnchen rule!

There's another crown at the 4 o'clock position which rotates the inner bezel to show the different cities. The watch is in 24 hr notation as well.

Speaking of positions, regarding mating season, I am not the young buck I once was and I can only get the slower moving females with large FUPA's so mating season isn't as big a thrill as it once was. I'd rather sit and eat.

Eichhörnchen bekommen frühere Zeiten. Or беличий мех старый старый, when I get my new toy.

I meant: áåëè÷èé ìåõ ïîäõîäÿùèé ñòàðûé

Let's try that again: áåëè÷èé ìåõ ïîäõîäÿùèé ñòàðûé

I don't know why it's doing that, it took the cyrillic characters the first time. College was a long time ago.

:confused:

Well I got the watch and I think it's quite a novelty piece, but apparently I spent $113 for a $55 watch. Interesting link:
