y.a.f.r.w.
Yet another, it’s true. This one is special though. It’s my Christmas present from Becky and the girls.
It’s a Vostok, purchased from RussianWatch.net (which incidentally I would recommend: big range, good friendly service, and fast shipping).
It’s automatic, and unlike the two Raketas is water-resistant, has illuminated hands, and a date. (OK, so you can tell much of this from the face, but indulge me here – I’m venting an obsession). I fell in love with the beautiful white and stainless face, but the clincher on the deal was this:
Yes! A (very large) peephole for watch pr0n! I can get my jollies by looking at it any time I like!
The large metal plate with the “B” is the winder: with the movement of your arm during the day the “B” rotates and winds the spring. Most ingenious.
I think that’s enough watches for now though. And I’ll have to cancel that standing search on eBay before I get into trouble.

Time is running out for my watch. I’ve been told that next time the strap (which is essential to the look of it) breaks it’s not going to be fixable. I’d love to be able to see inside my watch, I’m fond of the phases of the moon, I’ve never had waterproof but it sounds attractive, I do like something brightly coloured, kooky, or with bling points. Seen anything?
