    I'll pass on this one - I'll let someone else have a chance at it.

    Thanks for the offer though.

    I'm also new to these parts, but a longtime reader. Got into horology after treating myself to a speedmaster for my wedding.
    I'd very much love to put my hand up for a Raketa or any Russian automatic watch. For some reason the "cccp" element appeals to me :-/ also the thought of wearing a unique discussion point/time piece :)

    It looks like a coin toss is the fairest way to vote, so that's what I did.
    Blanchy90 wins my vote.

    Keep them coming Kintaro.

    hoganj for my vote.

    Blanchy already has some Russian lovelies so I feel he wouldn't miss not having one more.

    I don't mind at all. Stumbling in to this thread gave me a kick in the ass to get back rotating my collection

    Hi Kintarō,
    I've just pm'd you, name your charity etc. Looking for more details on this model of Raketa if anyone knows of any?

    Thanks,

    The looker of the group and probably a watch I'd keep if it had a glass cover but it's perspex. Again it's around 38mm in size. Chip in if you want it and we'll tally the votes in a weeks time.

    In fact my Casio 2900 is what could be considered my best watch, I know the shame of it :pac:

    I'm assuming this is now dead. It's a shame this thread never really gained traction, it was a nice idea.

    Thanks for trying KH.

    It's not yet chief! I just haven't had a chance to follow things up as I had been out of the country for a bit and busy with a few things before that. Let me have a look at it today and see who's in for the watch.

    Now help me out with this as I can't keep track of what's happened here and I have been a little distracted lately, plus I haven't actually had a look inside the watch box that these ones have been resident in. I don't think we decided a recipient of the Vostok yet did we? If not then the two contenders are:

    hitemfrank
    Blanchy90
    fourmations


    So vote away folks and we'll count the tally in a weeks time.

    I'll add my vote to Blanchy90. :)

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
