    strange komandirskie

    I found this one on ebay.

    I have never seen such dial, the crown is very small aswell. 3aka3 mo cccp is written diffrently from what i've seen on other watches.

    It is not just cheap copy, it is one of the worst Chineese fakes I have ever seen. These fakers have not even used cyrillic, the letters are Roman. And they printed ZAKAZ on this peace of crap. They become more cheeky every day

    komandirskie's are inexpensive enough, why not fake something more worthwhile?

    It is a common fake of a type that's been around for many years, popularly believed to have come from China. I suspect that it was made in Hong Kong rather than China if more than 12 years old. Chinese Standard movement from one of the poorer factories, faked screw-down back, fixed bezel. Even as an historical curiosity it's not worth more than $10.

    In short: RUN AWAY!

    I guess this is flattering: Kommandirskies have such a good reputation that it is feasible to fake them. But it is also very sad: the quality seems so very low and faking a $30 dollar watch??

    As long as the fakes are this easy to spot
    Vostok, Vostok Europe, Buran, Moscow Classic, Slava, Raketa, HMT, Casio, Seagull, Shanghai, Alpha, Hamilton, Swatch, Ascot, SpeedTimerKollektion, Seiko, Mido, Junghans, Lyndon, Citizen, Laco.
