I had one of these for several years before selling (with no regrets) in an attempt to downsize. I paid $70 (USD) and I would certainly never pay an order of magnitude more. It's a cool one though, and I hope the inflated price gives a pleasant boost for whomever still has one of the originals.

The old ones keep being cheap, it's the new Raketas that skyrocketed in price. I eyed Copernicuses (Copernici?) a good while ago but I had (and still have) doubts about whether the quality increased proportionally.

The one I always fancied was their hammer & sickle watch

Wearing one could be found offensive in some regions -- I don't want to bend the forum rules and go into details, but make sure you're fully informed if you decide to get one.

hmmm not sure offensive is the right word it stands for worker-peasant alliance and the creation of socialism

“A modern take on the classic sword hands re-aligns the mainline edition with its UK MoD origins.”

Dear me, no.


Also,

“Each hour/minute is segmented into 5 unit increments for quick readouts to the minute, as well as enabling the user to track time fractions of a minute via the yellow tipped sweep.”

It has minutes and seconds.


Come on, Bill...

I’m commenting on the description, not the watch.
