Interesting watch design, I like the history and Russian heritage behind it, as I collect watches (versus just buying some for the nice looks and style). However, as others have mentioned, I believe the requested price doesn't offer good vfm, particularly considering the existing offer at competition for similar prices (Seiko and their whole SARB line, Archimede, some Laco models, etc...). Even though it's titanium, 350 for mineral glass and a Poljot movement seems about 100 USD too much to me!

I'm not really sure what the fact that Gagarin was awarded an award has to do with this watch really, it's not him or even the original manufacturer of the watch he was wearing we're debating here. It's a tribute, and i find it well overpriced, particularly when reading the reviews from buyers who have received it, with QC issues, poor lume, poor quality straps and a not very accurate movement on the ones where it runs properly. I stand by my initial opinion, overpriced even at the MD price, I'm not even going to comment the AD :)

AleskbYou wrote "I like the history and Russian heritage behind it". I was pointing out that it has no "Russian" heritage behind it but does have a Soviet Union heritage. Historically that is very, very different. Gagarin was born a citizen of the USSR and died as a citizen of the USSR, He served in the Soviet Military and was a Soviet (not Russian) Cosmonaut.

My grandfather was a pilot (shturman) in the Soviet Army in the 40s-60s... He died before I was born, but my grandma used to were his Shturmanskie watch. So I remember myself playing with those when I was a kid. Most of all I was exited how it is glowing in the dark... However, the wathces was lost. Now, I am consider to buy those watches in order of those memories...

Haha! I’m kidding.. kind of... it would be the 2 light colored faces (with leather band). Just to see if one is bigger than the other. I certainly do not want a 50mm watch. Judging by online availability, it seems like these could easily be resold with a little effort.

How do we know these Russian watches aren't trying to influence our next election?

Guys...the mineral crystal is a perfect choice here cause this is a commemorative watch, the same model that Yuri Gagarin worn, and that watch as well as most watches at the time used a mineral crystal...
Look at the Omega Moonwatch, $3k+ and still uses a hesalite crystal instead of sapphire....and people (including me) would be very upset if they change that.

longtran1568The originals actually had domed acylic crystals. Only around 35-36mm also. The high-domed mineral crystal is an upgrade. Having one since last year, I can add that the crystal has anti-glare coatings.

I can't really understand you, guys. They sell you a legend, and you like 'for a couple hundred less I'd buy it'. I did math, and it actually meant: I'd buy it for a hundred. Like some god-forsaking Seiko 5.

Dear Drop, it’s frustrating that you didn’t supply more/accurate information on this item (e.g. you note “Case material: Titanium“, but that’s evidently only the case on 1/3 of the models on offer). I spent far too long trying to figure out which models have what features. I was drawn in by the display caseback shown in the photos; but come to find out, that’s only available on 1/6 of the models on offer - and that model is already sold out! You don’t even bother to show the caseback that comes on 5/6 of the models (and I find it ugly enough that I’d be seriously disappointed if I received it when I was expecting the display caseback). So no sale this time; please do a better job next time out.

Needs to be sapphire crystal. The mineral crystal will scratch easily, especially if it is domed. Too bad, I really liked the brown dial version. )-:
