Russian Pocket Watch

dahamsta · 2012-01-19 13:18:41

Anyone know anything about this watch? I know every Tom, Dick and Harry that went to Russia before the fall came back with one of these, but I'd still like to know by how much I was bilked by the enterprising soviets. :)

Thanks. Wouldn't sell it unless it was worth a fortune and I know that's not the, just interested in it really. Must find a Russian speaker to translate. Do I need a special tool to pop the back off, or is there a knack I wonder?
