The Trabant is also legendary, but but you'd only buy one as a curiosity because it's not useful as a car. The display caseback in ths watch helps us see how little they care about the movement. It's covered in dirt, for goodness sakes. This watch is a curiosity, and little more.

allexxSorry you're lost. Let me help. Stalin: a very naughty man, but very well known - legendary, you might say. Best he stay a legend. Trabant: a very bad car, but very well known - legendary you might say. Best they stay a legend. That is, unless your curiosity is served by a perfectly preserved example of said thing. Gagarin's Sturmanskie: neither very naughty nor very bad, but certainly not great - legendary perhaps. Best it stay a legend. That is, unless your curiosity is served by a reissue of said thing that promises to be slightly different but no better (see movement). I can give you some more analogies if you like. For example, last week, I took an enormous... Wait. Let's save that for another time.

HoldenitdownYeah... I guess you better save your agenda for another time. Better off, for another place.

allexxYou mean my reprehensible attempt to identify an overpriced glorified nostalgia piece. I really should write positive things or nothing at all, right? Let me try that on: I love to see Drop offer low quality watches at or above market value as much as the next person, but Sturmanskie! Why, that's the stuff of Legend. I'll have two. May I humbly request plexiglass next time, though? Or maybe you could just go ahead and scratch up the crystal before you send it. I find crystal buffing cathartic.
