I thought it would be funny to share this real odity. It's a 48mm watch with a caliber 40.6L.T.1 which was produced between 1923 and 1936. The dial features Misha the bear (the mascotte of the 1980 Moscow Olympics). I did'nt find any similar watch on the web. 62 countries, from which the US was one of them, boycotted the Olympics. The Soviet Union had the most medals, followed by East Germany. We have a couple of snoopy fans here, but I'm with Misha The Bear.

I thought I’d seen most of them. But new ones always appear.

Wait, there was a 1980 Olympics? Oh that’s right- my country boycotted those. I guess it seemed like a bold stance at the time 🙄
Tell that to the poor Olympiad’s that trained their whole lives for it.

Dude he was 4. 😁

Where is "Moskow" a legitimate spelling of that city anyway?

Hang on to that watch. The way things are going now anything Russian will be purged from society. You may have to own it in secret, but eventually it would be worth a fortune.
