And that's what I was thinking myself...
As they match the originals except the brass case, I thought that the Zlatoust factory may have made those cheaper models during the crisis.
That's why I wanted an answer from Mr Fedotov at the factory.

Your was made by Zlatoust, they made them at the end of the cold war, only for a year or two and then others started making more commercialized versions with the cheesy engravings on the dial and caseback....even some have a sub dial with seconds hand. There is a black finished one that comes up here and there, Mark actually knew the name of it, the SHARK....is the translation from Russian.

Sorry if anything I've said is coming off as me being RUDE, its one of the problems with discussions over the web, typed communications are very dry and can come off harsher than intended.

I will source more info for you and post it, it will be a great tool for everyone!
