Blue Monday in Murmansk

I happened across this photo (and aside from being a lovely blue Stella) thought the Russian dial was interesting - Monday is quite a squeeze!

What a beautiful watch. Wonder if they had second thoughts trying to fit it all in.

Fabulous! What a "cold" watch. The Russian dial is interesting indeed. I've never seen this bold type of font (or is it only the photo's perspective?). There seem to be serifs too but I'm not an expert about Cyrillic letters. Do you know any other dials with bold fonts?

First time I see a Russian day wheel on a DD. These are very rare....

Rolex did not have ADs in USSR just to put it into perspective.
