This is an endless topic in the guitar community, too. If you can afford buying a new one in case you screw it up, I say do it 🤷🏻‍♀️, it'll be a DIY project like the screen mods 😆.

My grandfather had a Raketa just like that. Might have been a Slava copy, I'm not sure, but it's nice to see this model appreciated by others!

I'm not looking to buy a new Russian watch, however, my go-to for Soviet-era watches is Etsy, and all of my favorite sellers are from Ukraine 🤷🏻‍♀️ with beautiful, serviced watches, and a huge selection. I don't really find Russian watch sellers there, I see them more on eBay. Waiting for any shipment from Russia takes months, too, at least that was my personal experience a year ago when I ordered a Luch from Chelyabinsk. 

Yeah, once I saw the list of the final participants, it dawned on me what's happening 😆. That's fine, I enjoyed creating those few 1WC-themed pictures. I hope it doesn't go against the rules if I post less watch-on-wrist photos on WRUW, and try to create ones with different backgrounds instead.

Is there a way users can keep track more easily of ANY type of announcement, not just 1WC, other than scrolling through everyone’s post on the Home page? If not, that’s a usability issue.
 

I joined WC late June and thought that the 1WC rules apply to everyone posting on WRUW.

Good luck 🫠

Very unique find.👌
