**is that my watch** · Aug 31, 2017, 10:59 PM

Well I think it will be this Gagarin re-issue watch have not worn it in a good while was worried on damaging it but after selling some of my Russian watches and not get much for them (nearly cried on the price a Luch/Ray from the 60's went for ) I decide to say screw it and wear some of them anyway and if they get nibble / dented and the like so be it.

A friend ask me to take a look at a watch he was thinking of buying so got me thinking on it and we did several threads on spotting the good from the bad and well I said good when it might have been bad BUT as bad goes it was very good looking just a few thing I missed on the first look( no lume numbers / vertical writing ) well it was about two in the morning when he asked so blaming lack of sleep ..but I still would have a punt at it for the right price had an old movement in it decent looking maybe a bit to clean but yeah I would, wonder if he will. so got me digging out my re-issue out as it is so hard to tell some of the good ones from the bad you might as well go re-issue and new for a lower price, unless pay a lot and take your chances, there are some acceptable zim with the look of the Gagarin to them.

have a lovely month ahead my friends

As always Ismy
