I went through a Russian watch phase. a strela, a pojolt and a Sturmanskie. shame they didn't hold up. My $100 Seiko automatic has proven much more durable. I'm afraid the Russian watch companies aren't making tool watches, and instead have been turning out tourist grade copies for export cause out of those three I bought two stopped working and the other only seems to want to wind a couple days out of a week. I am pretty rough on watches, but the failure rate was unacceptable. nice to look at though.
