I recently bought a couple Molnija "Frankenwatches". I'm a college student on a budget and wanted a decent mechanical watch. After spending more time on here than I should have (instead of studying), I ended up buying these two watches with Molnija 3602 movements. I realize that these are not fantastic watches, but I do enjoy the crazy faces, and its good to know that they have seemingly solid movements behind them.

Overall I am pretty happy with my purchases. They both keep time pretty well, the only complaint I have is that both of the faces are not centered, a caveat to buying these kinds of watches no doubt.

What do you all think? Have any stories, comments, advice on these kinds of watches?

Eh, at the right price, I would consider one with a few different Natos.

Sure, a collectible may retain value, but it also may require an expensive service to do so. In the sub $150 range, I say have fun. just don't get too many of them, then its not longer cheap
