Would love for you to share pics of your soviet watches
It's kind of you to ask. I never get to show them off. Here are some so-so photos in an album. I ordered custom bands for each--that was my "customization/personalization." All less than $100 (probably with bands included, even). I like how they've turned out, so far:

The first one is a Sputnik watch (the letters on the gold center part spell Sputnik in Cyrillic and the little Sputnik spins), the second is a Raketa Moonphase (they have tons of cool color options throughout the years). The third is from 1975, commemorating the Apollo-Soyuz-19 collaborative mission or "space handshake." The fourth is not space-themed, but is, I believe supposed to be based on a Soviet tank operator's watch(?), but I'm not totally sure on it, as it's listed elsewhere as a Gagarin pilot's watch. It's an old Soviet one, not one of the reissues they've started offering Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the movements, but they're really cool, some have visible rubies and whatnot.
What a great collection. Especially the sputnik moonphase, never seen anything like it. I have a few vostoks and a raketa 24 hour watch.
