Russian flag Slava - fun little watch

[watch22]

There's something about this watch that I like - maybe the simplicity of the design. Fun, colorful - but not over the top.

Conventional Slava double-barrel movement inside.

Thought you all might like to see it.

Also, I've been told it was assembled from stolen parts outside of the factory! I don't know if this is true. I found this out after I bought the watch, so I'm not contributing to crime in Russia.

Fine watch!

I posted recently about the Slava I picked up. I agree, nice watch. The twin mainspring feature is something unusual and something that only a true watchguy can appreciate. I am having a little issue with the quick change date feature on mine. Is the date supposed to change on it's own (with day) or is this a manual operation? Mine does not change automatically.

The Slava in my picture is date only.

But I have other Slava that are day and date. Once you have the day and date synchornized, they change together. To set the watch, you wind-wind-wind until you get to the proper day - then push the button on the side repeatedly to get to the date.

If your watch doesn't change date at midnight, then it has to be broken in some way.
