With the strap changed, the on the wrist feel of the watch is great,
the design is different and feels fresh, the case is a good size and
styled well, it is comfortable to wear (on a NATO at least, I would
assume the same for the after market strap of your choice) and no part
of the watch catches or digs into the wrist.
Conclusion
So what does a sub £30 watch from Russia get you?
It turns out quite a lot, for the price I paid for this watch I could
not be happier, the design, style and movement is in my view fantastic
for the money.
For the cost of a cheap meal out in a restaurant you have got a
mechanical watch with a rich history and an excellent record of
reliability and accuracy, yes it has it's flaws, it has a junk strap, it
has an acrylic crystal and a bezel that it more for show than use.
But don't let that put you off, you are getting so much for your money
here, you are buying a watch that contains it's own in house mechanical
movement (something that is rarer nowadays but is making a comeback due
to restrictions on ETA movements) that is mostly still made by hand,
has a style that is unorthodox and a watch that if well maintained will
last for years and years.
Add to that a watch that has been into space with Russian cosmonauts
(Komandirskie range with same movement and case, read more here ) and that you are unlikely to find it on the wrist of those outside Russia or collectors, why would you not buy this watch?
