Personally, I have never been one for wearing jewelry other than my wedding band and my watch of the day.
Not that I nor anyone else actually need to wear a watch in this world of Cell Phones, Fitbits and the like.
But still, I just don't feel fully dressed unless I am wearing one of my collection. And sad to say, but from time to time I look forward to occasions when I need to put on one of my three-piece suits just so I can take on of my pocket watches out for a night on the town.
And during some private chats with some other members of the Underground, I am not the only one here that feels the same.
While I do have some quartz drive or manual winding watches in my collection, my main interest is in Automatic movement watches. The ones that are powered by the motions of the wearer.
One of my more recent acquisitions came to me as a gift from a good friend who felt that I needed to have a Russian Automatic watch. Introducing the Cjiaba 12/24 Hour Moonphase Automatic Movement watch.
My apologies for the really bad pictures.
I don't know a lot about this watch other than the fact it is most likely manufactured by Slava which is basically the Russian version of Timex. Has the hour and minute hands with the second hand having its own Red 0-60 dial just under the center with the Sun/Moon indicator to the right and a 24-hour indicator dial with hand to the left. While it is marked as Water Resistant, I will not be testing that statement as the watch does not have a screw down crown. This watch is accurate to about + 0.5 seconds per day and has a more than adequate power reserve.
As you can see, it does not have a watch band installed. The lugs are for a 25mm watchband which I am finding are few and far between so I will be installing a 24mm black Stainless Steel band.
So, what's on your wrist today?

), I managed to save myself a 30 minute round trip to the jeweler as well as the $9.93 fee a professional would have charged me
