Hi, I don’t no if a “communism” watch, with a communism star is a positiv symbol for an every day watch in the Branche of IT and Finance. Is this thinking bullshit or what’s your opinion?

    It probably wouldn’t be an issue, but if you want a seagull with the original logo, not the star, look into HKed. He puts together some beautiful watches.

    Really depends on where you live. My office would be fine, but if some rando see it while I’m in public they will confront me, call police and I will be arrested undee anti communism law that’s still real where I am.

    It’s a very attractive watch. I’d be surprised if anyone got close enough to see the star unless they’ve already noticed the watch and are generally interested in watches at which point it’s an interesting story.

    People dont get watches. You can buy 15.000 USD Rolex and nobody would see. Maybe 1 in a 1000 people would notice. Watches mean nothing to most of the people. You can buy a Vostok with the big red star and huge Cyrillic letters for KGB. Nobody would see it or care for it.
