I asked him where my
link watch was from and he said Minsk in whats now called Belarus not too far
link from where he was from in Ukraine. I asked 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 not bad. He wrote down the best Soviet watch brands on a Post-It
link Poljot Raketa and something else I later realized was just Poljot in Russian.
