I wouldn't wear a watch that celebrates the beginning of the end. Perestroika, seriously?

I'd rather wear my Vostok "Scuba Dude" like a true (if optimistic) comrade!

(But seriously the font, the design, yeah, amazing timepiece, indeed)

I collect old soviet watches. This is amazing

where would you suggest as a good place to get an old soviet watch

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

There are a few Ukrainian watchmakers on eBay that sell old watches.

Search "Soviet" and you'll always find relics watches or not.

Downside is goodwill is hyper inflating prices and there's no oversight. I could go on for hours about how goodwill sucks. But yeah that's where I found some. Ebay and etsy too

From a bit of research, I think the name of that one is the “Luch Perestroika Slim Quartz”. There are some for sale online but they’re between $100-$200. So not super cheap by any means.

I work with a watch guy, he wears a $900 piece to work. We work in a fucking warehouse.

After the revolution all Hexbear members will get a commemorative timepiece.

The font work alone is pingu-horny
