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.

    they’re all so damn chunky, which makes me whince a little, but lets just say my ebay watchlist just got very crowded… I am in the market for a new watch (my cheap swatch has a loose spring and keeps stopping, I should get a repair kit)

    so many sus listings from ukraine haha i’m not falling for that again comrades

      Before I found all these I ordered a very slim seiko quartz. They have a rectangular shape and there are a zillion of them in different colors.

      You can search by dimensions too.

      There are a lot of ukraine ones. Is there anything particularly wrong with them? The vibe I got is that these people are not anti communist because I get the impression of pride in the work that was done.
