Just got my latest (excuse terrible phone pic!):

It's a Meranom 420 SE with the smooth bezel and a rather nice Vostok mesh bracelet. I have a Boris Bezel with a black Seiko insert incoming, not sure whether to put it on this one or on my orange 420:

:problem: Update sadly, it doesn't run! Even after full winding, it goes for less than a minute then stops. My other amphibians just need a gentle shake, even from fully wound down.

Bugger! :( Time to test Meranom's customer service...

I'll say one thing about Russian watches: they have distinct style of their own, which I like. I've owned a couple of old Poljots in my time and enjoyed the contrast they gave to the rest of my collection.
