Hell yeah. I have a made in USSR Vostok Amphibia I wear all the time. The Soviets made great watches.

They did! I had a hard time choosing. I like the pobeda line too. Ended up choosing something that would be hard to find today, i.e. commie iconography. Since any new mechanical you can get today will be technically better and cheaper lol.

It won’t have an ancom flag though!

True!

Tbh, I have never bought a new watch. How much is a decent new mechanical watch? My Amphibia was $80 on ebay and I have another Soviet watch that was less than that - it has Yuri Gagarin on it which is pretty cool, but I think yours does look cooler.

Someone else in the thread linked to $80 Chinese made Pagani watches that are apparently really good.

My guess is that at above a couple hundred USD you’re no longer buying a better timepiece but a fancier piece of jewelry.
