    my small collection of space-related soviet watches. I would still like to get a Strela/cyrillic-dialled 3017 at some point although the number of fankens/re-dialled samples seems to be on the increase.

    Sekonda 3017 column wheel chrono - such a smooth mechanism!

    and the saddest picture of all - items supposedly retrieved from Vladimir Komarov's Soyuz 1 capsule after it crashed when the parachutes failed to open in April 1967 - his 3017, his 5498 and another unidentified timepiece.

    Very cool collection and I am sure they didn't cost you what one Ed White would.
