i too have a russian watch...

here's my el cheapo vostok russian watch............ closer to S$60 - $70 at about 4 to 5 years ago....

still ticking........ and i mean ticking strongly.....

the lume dots are also pretty effective in the dark........

i chose the dial design simply bcos i like the russian flag.............. there are many other designs like submarine, paratroopers, tank etc......

cheap and good..... they are reliable tools.... and can be found at cheap prices at flea markets and also the internet......

russian....

someone i know bought this very recently...........a russian denissov chronograph barracuda......

45 mm in diameter, this watch is produced in a limited run of 500 pcs...... iirc, there is a barracuda mechanical watch and there is a barracuda mechanical chronograph......

a pity that i omitted to take a pic of the caseback, for its design is quite unique and interesting.....

u can see the caseback at http://www.smirs.com/product_info.php?products_id=563

not a surprise that the watch comes with a sapphire crystal for denissov is one of the better made russian watches...... they also command a higher price than vostok europe, poljot etc.....

check this out at red army watches if you are interested.......
