I think these Sekonda alarms are pretty cool looking. Most aren't in this good condition though.

That Sekonda alarm reminded me about another Russia alarm watch, the Poljot Signal. I don’t own one and this was just one of the first awesome pics that popped up. That is one crazy alarm hand.

I'm always a sucker for radial brushing on the case.

Found this Ricoh World Timer on eBay. Light research claims these to be redials, but damn if they don’t look good. Multiple watches are depicted below.

Yea, I like them. A year or two ago I was wondering why they were so cheap because they truly are modern sizes. And that seems to be the reason. Almost all you see on ebay are redials and they are fairly easy to tell from the originals which aren't nearly as common. Still cool-looking though. You can buy them outright for less than $150 and they typically auction for under $100. So very obtainable.
