Got my new watch in the mail from Bulgaria. It’s a 70s Raketa built in the Soviet Union I got for $25. The band it came with is awful so I’m going to swap a NATO strap onto it

Man I love Russian design, immensely clean and practical.

NATO strap on a Soviet watch?

I love that you can get simple and timeless designs with a relatively reliable mechanical movement for stupid cheap.

Makes the watch part of the Non-Aligned countries

The cheapest way to get a Swiss watch.

Perhaps. I’d say this is a bit more Yugoslav, utilizing Eastern and Western bits

Bonus points for not calling it “Paketa”!

Just recite the pledge of allegiance to exorcise the fellow-traveler demons, and everything will be fine

I dig that design a whole lot. Super clean.

Just found out that my wife picked up my new watch from the post office for me today. So excited!

Which he will wear to go to eat french fries and a Kobe burger covered in melted American cheese washed down with a Mexican Coke. He will drive there in a US built German car listening to British punk tunes all the time wearing Chinese made shoes, Vietnamese shirt, an Argentine leather belt, Taiwanese sunglasses and Italian jeans. The Nato strap could likely be made in the UK of foreign components. Its just that way these days.

That’s a very attractive watch. Love the typography.
