I think my bigest complain about this Raketa is the dial. I admit that I'm not a big fan of gold tone watches but with this grey colour dial the whole thing looks a bit ugly and cheap. Perhaps if I change the strap it could look better, dunno.
In the case of yours I wouldn't be suprised if the hands were replaced. (Even there were plenty of variations of these TV case Raketas in the SU.)
I have plenty of Russian watches due to they are common here in Eastern Europe. This is the most unusual from the collection.
