A housemate has just came home with this on his wrist.

Its very nice, and I'm not really a watch person. So thought I'd ask on here. He got it from his friend, and this friend has quite a collection of watches apparently.

Pictures;







Incase its not too clear, the writing on the back reads; "1530" "BMФ CCCP"

I found this;

Is that real or fake? The numbers on the back on my pictures are different to these..

Probably "real" in a "fake" kind of way. There are lots of "Frankens" of these about.

Thankyou.

So is that value about right? He hasn't bought it from his friend yet, but won't tell me how much he's paying (I guess incase it's far too high he doesn't want to be embarrassed! hehe)

Now I know beauty is in the eye etc etc........

And I'm no expert.........

But that's really really horrid. I can't see anything appealing in it at all!

Sorry.

The 'grille' thing across the front can unscrew, it looks alot better then, IMO.
