I saw this watch on tv one night perusing the channels.  I saw it and fell in love with the price which was at that time a little over $100.00.  The people selling it kept raving about being Swiss Made.  I've bought swiss made watches before but for far more than what they were offering this one for.  Seeing the watch on tv is an understatement.  It is thick and heavy and has a larger than life face.  The numbers are larger than I had expected.  Solid piece!  My only complaint, if there should be one is that the band is not as long as I would like to be.  I can only use the first hole.  My wrist must be bigger than I thought it was.  I am a large man but I have seen men with larger hands and wrists than I.  For those men, tough luck.  Other than that, its a great watch.  I cant beat the price.  I am not sure how I feel about having something with the old letters from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (CCCP) on it.
