How fast can you break your watch?
I bought few vintage soviet watches. I tested watches and let them run for 24 hours to see how accurate they were.
After that it was second time a tried to put that Chaika on my wrist and it dropped right down to kitchen floor.
From receiving watch it took less than 48 hours for me to break it. Movement does not work anymore.
Value of that piece was anyway very low so its not that bad.
If anyone can beat that (48hours) give a comment.

Damn man that sucks I’m sorry. Nah you definitely got me beat!
That's a bummer, and no, I can't beat that.
Didn’t a guy drop his new iPhone on the pavement when he opened the box upside down on live TV? He wins the prize. One second!
Good job!!
First time I wore my new-to-me Seamaster 300 on a date with my now Girlfriend I broke the crown off 😭..... Cost £490 & 3 months for the repair & service 😱
It's a good looking watch. See if replacement balance staffs are available, as I'm assuming that is the failure point.

I payed less than 20 $ for that watch. So i dont think its worth to try to fix it.
I bought at the same time two other soviet watches (Slavas) so i will wear them instead.
Overall i still have 2 out of 3 working, so lesson learned.
Vostok watches you can not break from dropping- it has anti-shock balance spring connection, you drop a watch and it keeps on ticking
