That's cool. Not sure if mine will be a journey as I'm nowhere close to being a watch aficionado, but I like weird stuff, and this is pretty weird. 

Just finished right-sizing my bracelet. Adjusting the clasp position alone wasn't sufficient, I had to symmetrically remove a link from each end. Now it's perfect. Those watch tools I got from AliExpress or wherever and stashed away didn't go to waste. 😁

Sounds like you are starting the watch journey……. 
these watches dont last long, i have to forewarn.   
they also lose beat and the mainspring snaps easily.

but yes very fun and unique Russian watches to wear.

@Mcscot think price up soon. all increasing rrp like no one biz.

Cartier BB. can get Grey. if want the boutique or AD experience, u get 0 to 5%. at AD, u can try asking to join the interest list of entry professional model of 5 matchsticks

Else no interest, go Cartier direct if its 0%. i think the SG Cartier buy back their watches at a certain value, not sure, but you can check it out
