Hi! I do not like these new pobedas and I do not like the propaganda on some of them. I have 2 pobedas - the white one is from 1953, the second one from 1950. I love them both - nice, clear, beautifull blue hands, ideal size (yes it is!), subtle military character and very good, a little decorated mechanisms. The first is my EDC, the second is part of my little watch collection. Such first pobedas were most beautifull. Later models - e.g. from 1980s were more and more ughly and the models from the pictures... I just don't like. I would never change my old pobeda for those new BTW - My watchmaker is preparing for me raketa's 2609.ha to replace the original pobeda's mechanism in the EDC. 2609 is very similar, not so beautiful but more accurate and most important it has incabloc. Controversial but functional decision All the best Heinz
