The Minister of Foreign Affairs gave me this today. That's a cabinet level position here. So not only did I get my "Russian" watch, it has meaning and was a gift!

congratulations - great watch

astcell · 31 August 2007, 03:45 AM

The backside.

Earl · 31 August 2007, 03:47 AM

Robert, any way of telling who the manufacture is?

roadcarver · 31 August 2007, 03:50 AM

Good stuff!

What does the caseback enscription translate to?

astcell · 31 August 2007, 04:02 AM

The back says something about being waterproof. The directions are all in Russian. The name of the watch in Cyrillic looks like BOCTOK.

Great gift, Robert.....one, I'm sure, you will cherish forever!!

Gaijin · 31 August 2007, 02:45 PM

Wow!

leopardprey · 31 August 2007, 08:31 PM

Very Nice!!!!!!! Did the Minister know you are a WIS?

astcell · 31 August 2007, 10:04 PM

Waterproof Russia? It needs to be Vodka-proofed!

And yes everyone knows me as "The man with the Golden Rolex." I amnot a watch snob and can appreciate a Timex ans Casio just the same in their own right. This watch is not a Rolex by any means, but like my other watches, it is the thought, and story, that counts to me. It is nicer than any watch I could have bought because it was a gift!
