    I was looking at @Alpha Poljot Alarm for sale on the Private Forum and it sent me off on a week long jag into the deep, dark recesses of eBay. I know more about Russian/Soviet watches than I ever thought possible. I've enjoyed looking at the Cold War era watches but one that has really struck me is the 60's Kirovskie, nicknamed the Crab or Shark. I was wondering if anyone has any information on this watch. There's not a lot out there. I know that it was manufactured at the 1st Moscow Watch Company. They also have many different color outer dials with a typically white inner dial. Rarely you can find a brown one, as I was able. Here's the one I picked up for just under $100. Thanks for any insight. If you have one, please share!

    Here's an example from the Internet with a teal dial

    Mine came in today. Nice buy for under $100. Love the chocolate dial and really changes in the sunlight. Satisfies my Cold War era spy novel urges. Nothing like a 60s Russian wristwatch. Say that 3 times fast!!
