Which reminds me... since mine came in busted, I need to start shopping for another one. 
The Steeldive 200m again this weekend. It has rapidly become my preferred weekend summer watch.
This weeks selection is a Tudor BB with a newly installed strap from Erika’s Originals

what was broken ?
Congratulations! My boy weighed 3 ounces more, what seems only yesterday. He is quite a bit taller than me now!Thanks a bunch! She was 8lbs 6oz and 19in long
Is there a reference number for that model on Meronom? To speak bluntly...I desire that model.
Thanks a bunch! They do grow quickly. I flipped through some pics of my daughter from when she was a baby the other day. Amazing how much she has changed in just 3 yrs
Antique Hoosier
“Aircooled”
Oyster
I was lucky to find it, it was purchased by a gent in Magadan Russia in 1990 and his intent was to wear it but he never did so he listed it on eBay and I got it for a very reasonable cost, even with a strap I got for it total investment was less than $100
As far a model goes it’s just a Komandirskie and I have asked on another forum that has a section for Russian pieces what model of Komandirskie and none really seem to know or agree, I know Meromon has several Komandirskies like the Tank, Submariner etc....but none like what I have.
You breath rarified air, friend.
here is one I found and have coming, it’s an Amphibian but the dial has a crackle look from age which I think it pretty cool, I will clean it up once I get and I’m sure it will have to be regulated for accuracy which is pretty easy to do
@03Jarhead Yes you can do it without a timegrapher it just takes longer, here is a vid by someone showing you how.... the only diffidence is between a manual wind and auto you just have to swing the rotor out of the way to get to the regulation arm and don’t confuse the regulation arm with the one that controls beat error ( tic versus tock ) This is where a tiny move makes a big difference so just barely nudge it in the +/- direction to speed up or slow down then put the case back on and fully wind and wear for a day and see if you have to move it again, without a timegrapher it will usually take 4-6 moves

B&B membership has its percs
I've regulated a couple Russki's here, no problem, just heed William's advice about TINY movements, or you will be chasing it till the cows come home
Some beautiful Russian watches, gents! I'm on the hunt for a (reasonably priced) Raketa Amphibian.

The mini-turtle. My first dive watch.
I needed to monitor how much time I spend in the water (especially in cold water). I don´t dive, but I practice the Wim Hof method every day. She´s ready to bath in the baltic sea daily!
Also, I´m quite happy that it fits my slender 6,1" wrists thanks to its short lug-to-lug size. It still looks bulky, but it wears very comfortably.

Seiko Tuna. want to sell it
Date complication. It didnt change when I tried to set it. It did jump two dates at around 8 the first day I had it, and then never moved again. I could also feel the movement slipping when I was winding... so I just got a bad feeling about the whole thing, and sent it back.
Okay...there it is. The thing that was sold to me under false pretenses. A "sterile" watch was advertised. This fraud was delivered.
Nope, that is no Omega. The manual wind is gritty and it seems to gain a LOT of seconds per day. I suspect it is a Seagull movement. This is a beater watch if ever there was one. One of my work watches. Do not buy this thing. Seek ye not its existence on websites from countries having big problems with hydroelectric dams and monsoon rainfall. Just. Don't.
