Yeap, it's a beauty!

Nice catch! 

Size wise, it definitely looks good on you. 

I own the 43 mm A21330 Datora version, with triple calendar including a pointer date. 

Shown below on my 17,5 cm wrist.

It's a shame the Montbrilliant line was discontinued. There is a lot of charm in these supposedly early century looking Navitimers.

@sammwho 

The 7T34 manuals are hard to find. There is a dutch copy often found on the internet. But, the operation is the same as for the 7T32...

Basically, extract the main crown to its outmost position (2 clicks). Use the top right pusher to align the chrono minute hand. Use the top left pusher to align the chrono seconds hand. Reinsert the crown when finished. Reset the time if necessary. That's it.

Much appreciated. 

Yes, Google does what it can, but translation can be an art form when done properly.

You can actually find a few articles in English too, over in the "ENGLISH ARTICLES" category.

We know Meranom pretty well. Spain is in fact the second largest market for Soviet/Russian watches after the US. 

We also have a huge back catalogue of Soviet/Russian horology articles.

We've noticed that many here are going through the same experience, to the extent that we've seen big arguments in some watch forums and even WhatsApp watch groups request that images of Russian watches not be shared anymore. 

You have to wear what pleases you, and nobody else. I'm not trying to persuade you either way. But in the same way that wearing a Flieger-style watch doesn't make one a Nazi sympathizer, I wouldn't judge you for wearing a Russian watch. It's just a timepiece.
