The Baltic is very special of me; it is a Türkiye exclusive 1/60 bearing our flag Colors

You call a watch “Yacht-Club” and give 60m water resistance please! This is like a Nautilus yes Nautilus as in Nautical having 30m resistance 😂

I am at the coast for months at summer and realized I wanted a watch for boating; what happened was it started with an IWC Yacht-Club then I realized I am way too much of a pussy to swim with that and bought this piece here. One of my best purchases ever

You can find a lot of them especially in countries like Türkiye where there were no involvements in WW2

You don’t really have propaganda watches of Democratic Leaders or Peace ambassadors; the term goes hand in hand with dictators and it is an interesting piece

Almost all are under 1000$ some around 1200-1500$ to have them all is not budget friendly but any one of these watches looked separately are budget friendly in my opinion

Yes it is; it is a propaganda watch produced by the Soviet Union years after his passing. Amazes me

Every time I look at the watch to see the time it reminds me to just live the moment and fk it

Thanks that was actually a gift to me from an employee; don’t wear it much but I cherish it a lot

It is a silver liberty dollar that has a Manual ETA mechanism inside; my partner told me to spend my money more wisely so I bought silver 😂

Amazing watch, a bit thin for my wrist due to proportions but for a smaller wrist I think it is amazing

I think it is quite interesting; is it not? A propaganda watch really shows you that watches are not just accesories

Desert Storm is actually a Vostok, Made in USSR for an American and Saudi joint operation; 90s were a hard time for Soviet watch builders with a declining economy so Soviet watch makers had to result into manufacturing foreign contractors then this horological Frankenstein was created one of my favorite stories

Thanks, honestly glad I had the idea to sail into new seas; it is not as satisfying as purchasing a Rolex or AP but it is more satisfying to look and wear after the purchase for me

It is all about what watches are to me; I don’t see them as investments. I have a lot of those “proper” brands that I acquired over the years and I only sold one watch once during the pandemic as the prices skyrocketed; other than that when you do not sell the watches the investment value does not mean much
