Yay! ๐Ÿš€

Been trying to get this badge for a while. Iโ€™m a big fan of Soviet watches and Raketa. Now for Poljot, Shturmanskije, Vario, Baltic, and Forits!

Congratulations on getting your badge. I number I have been promoting the addition of have been added of late and I try to make sure to earn them.

Thatโ€™s rad. I love that WC provides recognition like that

Nice one - cool badge. I'm a fan of Soviet era graphics.

I started my collecting with Russian watches.

My father travelled to the USSR in the the late 70's and brought me back a Racketa - it was my first watch.

When he died I found a Kommandirskie that I'd never seen before. From there I started buying Russian watches ... and here we are.

I'm keen to own a really clean Leonov era Strela chronograph one day.

Thatโ€™s such a nice connection. I would love to see your Raketa

Omg i want one of those too!

I like your Serica and love that you put it on a Forster rivet bracelet. Is it the stretchy links or solid links one?

Yeah, it is. โ˜ป

I'd love to see it at this point too! It's gone ... lost over the years unfortunately. I do have my Father's Kommandirskie though - I'll post you a shot when I'm home but it's nothing special (aside from being one of my Father's watches - I've got his Girard Perregaux too and my older brother has his Date-Just 1604).

I love that Serica. The 4512's are really good watches and I'm stoked to have a TXD - they only made 200 of them.

There was one for sale on watchcharts recently. If you're interested, it might still be available?

My Forstner Rivet isn't a stretch - I like to wear my watches loose. I've actually got the Serica on a Forstner Thin-as-a-Dime at the moment and my Nivada Super Antarctic is on the Rivet. It's my favourite after market bracelet. Forstner are great.

I like the regular california dial 4512 more, so Iโ€™m not worried. If i were to spend that LE money, Iโ€™d go for a watch higher on my wishlist or put it towards something a bit more important, realistically.

I am planning on getting this Tiger Concept to scratch a similar itch tho

I've looked at Tiger Concept too - never pulled the trigger though.
