I asked him where my watch was from and he said
link Minsk in whats now called Belarus not too far from where he was from in Ukraine. I asked
link him if this was a good watch my I pronounced it tentatively Luke. He gently corrected this to Loosh. The Luch brand he said its not good its
link not bad. He wrote down the best Soviet watch brands on a Post-It Poljot Raketa and something else I later realized was just Poljot in Russian.
