Well the one with the belt is my current one, Orient FX made in Japan :DDD 2o years my father had it and he gave it to me now...not to be mistaken thoose two scratches are made by me...my father made only one in 2o years and he wore it every day >XD Then the two swiss ones I had before, my grandpa's, the older one he even dragged along in the mud while he was serving minitary duty in the JNA XD Theyre wind watches so no batteries required~ But theyre not allways compleetly accurate! D: I had 5 minutes backtime on the right one in just two days. And it even stopped a few times but oh well...if I took em to be cleaned they would work well again but that costs as much as a new watch so not gonna happen right now x: And then theres two random electric watches I found interesting they both don't work maybe becouse there's no battery and maybe becouse theyre broken as it is lol >XD Enjoy

My dad has an old-school Soviet Union watch, he bought it just before the USSR fell (I think he was going through East Germany or something) and the thing has the sickle and hammer, and doesn't use batteries! You have to wind it up. It is so cool. I actually broke recently and my dad had a hard time finding a repairman who would repair something so old, but he eventually found this watch-smith, who was an old man who knew how to fiz it, and it's been running ever since
Oh boy...AVOID Soviet watches like the devil fears the cross DX As far as I know, Soviet watches were never very good. Look you can make great cars, great weapons, great cameras...but you can't allways make EVERYTHING perfect yourself...I'm not saying all were bad but some we're preety horrible. Your winding it and suddenly you feel that it's somewhat too easy to wind it =w= You take it to a watchsmith? No need...ours said ''I won't even bother to open it.'' Well maybe I'll buy one one day still becouse I like them esthetically >XD I might get lucky and get a good one. But are you sure you needed to find some ancient old school 'master Ching Ching' to fix a simple windwatch? Sorry but that story seems a lil far fetches >.> Our clocksmith David Lečnik is younger than my father I think. Oh also...there used to be an alarm clock factory somewhere in Yugoslavia (I just know not by us and I forgot the name...
Are you sure IT broke and YOU didn't barke it? >XD Well I don't blame you, you have to be carefull with theese things... but also like I said, not allways accurate. Mine were all 5 minutes behind every two days.
