OMG, what's wrong with me!?

LOL, I couldn't resist the deal for $205

Here's the description: This watch is rare even in Russia nowadays and it’s collectible value is more important than its functional purpose, so we hope that this watch will take appropriate place in your collection and you will enjoy this very unusual and rare timepiece (also can be a perfect gift idea).

Very massive, and very large this watch is the real Soviet Navy watch. Produced by ZLATOUST watch factory, SOVIET MILITARY DIVERS WATCH 191 CHS was in used by Soviet Navy approx. in 1970 s - 1980 s. This massive watch is hardly designed for everyday wearing - 260 grams (0,57 lbs) on your wrist can be tiresome, so the only right suit for this watch is a diving one. Diameter of the watch is 58 mm (2,28"), but you should take into account enormous big winding head with a protective hermetic lid which increases diameter of this watch up to 76mm (3 inches). This watch is waterproof during at least one hour at a depth of up to 700 meters (~2300 feet).

This model specifications:

- 15 jewels manual-winding mechanism

-SECOND HAND
- Watch case provides water resistance of the watch with water pressure no more than 3 kg/cm2
at a presence under water no more than one hour
- 30 hours power reserve after full winding
- Luminous hands and markings for night visibility
- Weight of the watch is approx. 260 gram
- Case diameter 58 mm (less the crown)
- Case thickness: 23 mm
- Accuracy from -60 to +60 seconds/24 hours

This watch comes in new condition in original Zlatoust watch factory box as shown on the photos below + original strap and manufacturing docs in Russian.

Haha, I doubt it'll get much wrist time but should make for the start of a very cool Halloween costume ;)

Haha! I love the weight, I already wear the heaviest of Breitlings (to my limited knowledge) so why not kick it up a notch?

Feels like a midget is hanging off my wrist already, so I figured what the hey this will make a nice conversation piece as I am also a certified scuba instructor :)

It can't be that bad... it's got a canvas strap so 260gr is it. The emergency mission is 155.7 by itself. Add another 110 or so for the steel strap and there you go, the B is probably heavier ;)

(dos anyone know the weight of the straps? Navitimer World at 46mm is listed to weigh 112.80 gr, while the Montbrillant Legende is 47mm and weighs 224.4 with bracelet)
