OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo PP hmmm

I am not a gold person but what is therenot to like about this? It is a lovely classic watch that I feel demands you wear a shirt and tie when it honors your wrist.

Lovely.

Don't know yet: My watchmaker didn't open it... I stoped after unscrewing the bezel: As it open from there... The all stuff was greasy and the lume may be dangerous if in contact with the skin

Does this sound right?

A professional diver's watch. Weights 260 g (approx. 1/2 lb). The
            diameter of the dial is 58 mm (approx. 2.28"). The watch features a
            big winding head with a protective hermetic lid which increases the
            overall diameter of the face of the watch to 76 mm (approx. 3")

            The casing keeps the watch hermetic for at least one hour under
            water at a depth of 700 meters (approx. 2300 feet)

            Mechanical
            Mean daily rate from + 1 minute for 24 h
            30-h winding
            15 Ruby jewels
            Luminous hands and indicies for night visibility

            The case provides water resistance for the watch with water pressure
            of no more than 3 kg/cm2 at a presence under water no more than one
            hour.

            Attention:
            NO SHOCK PROTECTION
            DISASSEMBLING CAN LEAD TO MALFUNCTION
            AND DO NOT TOUCH YOUR NUTS

If so then it could be a Molnija movement like in the pocket watches, I take it the VPH are 18,000. I added the Nuts warning.

The case is 50mm, lugs with welded titanium bars and 21mm. They are not builded like the other classical Russian with the barbecue grill top. Yes , it should be a MolniNja mvt

...
Here's the numeroted dial and back:

I took a new picture of the dial fully loaded: SCARY

If you experience view problems after watching this picture, please rince your eyes with Russian vodka and contact your nearest doctor when the bottle is finished...

Trent, you've got to get your facts right. A horn is...............never mind....

That thing they blow on at the soccer games is called a vuvuzela. Phonetically:

Thanks for letting me know what that is you have going on over there, i have never heard of these. it comes across my set as a really bad hum and i have had to watch the matches with the volume turned down. On the bright side i have listened to some great jazz in the background that i have not heard in a long time.

Can you spin that movement around to have the Crown go the other way on that Beast? I used to have a zeno canteen with the crown like that, loved the watch but hated the crown as it dug into me when riding.

Nice Watch
