I don't judge watches by politics. The bottom Soviet/Russian watch looks cheap and poorly finished. The Chinese watch is much better finished, imo, and better looking in general with its long term durability being a separate matter altogether as mentioned earlier. Lest we forget, the House of Faberge was founded in Saint Petersburg in the mid 1800s. I'm not too familiar with Russian watchmaking under the Communist era but I'd imagine there was a decent trade squashed and collectivized in the name of the people. East Germany had an even richer watch culture that was collectivized and they produced sh!t for decades on end until reunification. And then Lange shocked the watch world in the mid 1990s. alange-soehne.com Putin is known to have a fine watch collection at least based on what he's worn publicly in the past 20-25 years. Even his deputy Medvedev has a collection and he's been spotted with a watch I've owned for over 20 years. Technically it was the first "nice" watch I bought for myself. :-)
