[SETHUS]

Hello Again, its me Sethus, i was wondering if anyone knew this brand,
FACKE WULF
It was a gift to me, All stainless steel, automatic and 21 jewels, by the way, what does 21 jewels mean? thank you so much.

mechanical watches have "jewels" which are synthetic crystals, generally sapphires that act as bearing surfaces for gear shafts and part of the escapement to keep down friction of these surfaces. Most high end wrist watches have 21 Jewels, Pocket watches will have 23J anymore than that is generally considered redundant and unnecessary.

As far as the watch: I think it is Russian made by the inscription at the base of the dial. I've seen these for sale on Ebay a few years ago, but never considered them to be Russian because the subject matter was rather odd commemorating a German Fighter plane on a Russian watch.

The Focker Wulf 190 f1 is the WWII German Luftwaffe plane pictured on the watch. We'd have to see the back to see who made it, although my guess would be Poljot.

They've really embraced capitalism. Whatever sells... I've seen a Russian watch commemorating Desert Storm :confused1:

That's a cool looking watch. And I love the name of that plane, Focker Wolf.
