I hit the flea market today and scored this absolutely killer Soviet era Raketa World Time 24 hour Watch with this most amazing hand-painted custom dial. The colors and imagery is straight from the iron curtain! I paid up for it but then again try to find another one anywhere! Still $100 I can’t go wrong. The funny thing is no one ever makes a comment about the watches I wear and I put on this watch after I bought it and five minutes later someone complimented me on it.

Beautiful watch! I would have been pressed to not spend that $100 as well! That is a stunner! And the modern size is what the “kids” are wearing. Nice!

Cool watch. The movement probably made of re purposed tank parts and more advanced then the computers at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

Can you take a picture of the movement? I'd really like to see it
