La peche de la journée

If a Russian would have designed this dial in the 70’s or 80’s as your Italian Counterfeit dealer is pretending, then this Russian would probably be in a Siberian prison camp for 20 years. The Soviet Union quality logo that is in the center of the dial, was a quality sign that a very very few items were awarded with. It was very very strictly controlled who could or not put this sign on an item. It was the symbol of quality for the Soviet Industry. And no one was allowed to joke with this quality logo. The watches that got this sign are very few. You may basically consider that a watch with this sign sold on ebay is usually a counterfeit, especially if the watch is new. But most of all if a designer would during soviet times put this government quality control sign so big and in the middle of the dial so that the logo itself is spoiled by the hands and the hole in the center of the dial. Then you may be sure that this designer would loose his job, and most probably send to jail for disrespect to the construction of the Soviet Industry.
