 O worked this out between Ken, himself, and myself. A three-way trade! I met Ken at the Renaissance last night in Scottsdale where he bought me a beverage and brought me this great looking Russian Buran watch. (Sorry O, no pics allowed).

The crown was a problem for Ken. But, for a guy who drives a SAAB and uses a Mac, it seems normal to me. :D:D:D The lumn is excellent and the watch winds very smoothly. I dropped a Graf strap on it for now. The only goofy thing about the Buran line for me is the bezel. Having the red mark is fine, but it moves too freely to be of much use. Why they put it on their watches, I don't know.

It uses the tried and true 3105 movement which should run for over 50 hours on a full wind. My Aviators all have gone over 60 + hours. Overall it is a nice watch and a very smooth trade with fellow 3T members!
