About a hundred years and a thousand threads ago we had a thread on wind up watches. I'm looking at one of these puppies and am wondering if any or many have had much experience with these watches. here's the link where I'm looking.Vostok watches | Russian watches | Russian Gifts Store - Russian Gift Shop | Russian Matryoshka Dolls | Porcelain Dolls | Russian Souvenirs, Samovars & Gifts | RussianGiftsStore.com I do like the price and look of the Komandirskie line. I don't know watch jargon so I don't know what they mean by 31 or 17 jewel movment for example. Helpful feedback please. Not looking for uber scientific calculus like feedback. Just good ol laymen experience type feedback. Cheers fellas....
