This is an expedited review because the Drop is active on the Kashalot when posted to Patreon.  

Check out the quality of this cool automatic CCCP brand Russian Sub themed watches.  Their relation to Russian naval history is shown and discussed here as I have some fun with the "Kashalot" and "Arkhipov" namesakes.  A typo on the Kashalot makes it an instant collectible btw!

Both feature amazing quality levels,  unique and interesting complications, straps, colors, bezel work, rotors, hands, dials, and casework.  This is a two for one WRV to deliver more value to you!  

The more you use my links the more I buy or get for review!

Unlike my middle school basketball team I made the cut! Wish I would have jumped on CCCP Aurora when you posted it’s about 3x the cost now! I’m now torn between the Least favored Christmas colored Aurora and the Kashalot.

Chris Hibler

NutN, I love ya man. But didn’t the CCCP, kill millions of their own citizens? Wasn’t it the most repressive government of all time? Were they not our arch enemy? I’ll never own a CCCP watch or anything with a hammer and sickle on it.

Micahbraedon

I have a apkipov in green with the typo. I actually wear it at work now that I’m mostly behind a desk so it’s a true desk diver. I commented on a WRV that I was interested in a Kashalot review and here it is. I can hopefully order one while it’s active, just had a baby. Thanks for the shout out in the live NutN and keep the WRVs coming. Beat up my credit card man I love it.

Micahbraedon

Kashalot man. I’ve seen some cccps on jomashop or Amazon for decent prices occasionally. I want to get a typhoon next they are cool.

Hugh Amlett

Awesome watches, but no way could I wear a hammer and sickle on my wrist

David and Elizabeth

Amazingly low prices! The Aurora definitely has an Omega Planet Ocean vibe. Very cool story on Vasili Arkhipov. Vostok is another must to check out for those interested in Soviet watches. 👍 👨‍👩‍👧 ❤ 🖥 TNP

Eric

The link to the article at the bottom takes you to the guardian. Anyone else see their fund raising propaganda at the end? Total BS! Pisses me off!

Matt

It might be interesting to own a Russian watch as a collector. Anyone crying about how the CCCP was evil or murderers is a hypocrite. China is doing all of that right now and I guarantee each of you can find many, many items in your house and likely on your person made in China. So just chill out with the righteousness, thanks. Good review Nutn.

Andrettski

10-4 on that Matt. And who knows in the near future we might need to hook up with our comrades to thwart the Chinese. That's if Russia doesn't align with them first

Andrettski

I love the blue/white Kashelot but I already have so many blue watches. I want that same watch in a "bright" green. I'm so sick of all the dull/drab greens that are offered when green can have so much pop if they would just do it. Am I the only person who likes green.

Michael B warner

Dang Nutn both of them are freaking sweet I really like that Arkhipov in that red and black. I think I'll have to hold off for a week or so on this one however. I just pulled the trigger on that Spinnaker Fluse last week. That shot a hole in my watch funds for a little while lol. The Fluse is amazing I really love it. This is definitely one of the nicest watches in my collection.

Matt

As far as I know Russia and China aren't friends so that could actually happen.

I've considered getting one of these for my dad. He was a naval aviator, and specifically a P3C pilot back in the early 80's. I think he'd dig it.

Douglas Pack

So...love ya Nutn. I understand why you don’t like the new blingy rolexes. BUT...some of the old ones are cool. I have a black bay 58 that was $4k my wife bought me for retiring from the Air Force...it’s pretty bad ass man. I also have a first gen Omega Planet Ocean...it was about $4k also. It’s served me all over the globe skydiving, SCUBA, Asia, Africa, Europe....I love it. I’ll always be a fan man....but there is a difference between watch snobs and people who dig cool tool watches that are expensive. Love ya brother. Give Tudor or Omega a chance. You might be surprised. You have earned the right to own a bad ass watch that is worthy of passing down to last suspect or doddle. I’ll leave you with this...a nice watch can also get you a couple plane tickets home in a sticky situation. Trust me on that one. You can replace the watch when you get home. On the other hand...trying to barter with a G shock in a bad situation, might not have the same outcome

The Nutnfancy Project

Yes you are correct. But I have cool Nazi war machines on the review table all the time. I guess I separate the machines from the tyranny. I don't think it's a political statement at all. But I hear what you're saying.

The Nutnfancy Project

THink of it as tribute to a man that preventing nuke weapons being launched against the US. Thanks for the comment Hugh, much appreciated.

The Nutnfancy Project

Ooo I didn't see that. I could nuke it but it's good to have the article. LMK what the fundraising is for.

The Nutnfancy Project

" I just pulled the trigger on that Spinnaker Fluse last week." So glad you got one; it's a great watch. Good job researching the watch you want of the WRVs I post.

The Nutnfancy Project

Hey if guys got the $$ I say go for it and indeed you might be able to trade your way out. 99%+ viewers here won't pay that and when I review only cheap watches to suit their budget that will put me at odds with the watch world. On Rolex, Omega, Breitling: But here's the rub: the counterfeits are sooo xlnt now and only about $300 for the best ones, would a buy get those instead and that trade those for a plane ticket to save $3700? Just kidding of of course but dang their good...I seen a few and even watch makers can't tell they're fake. The coolest part thing of you comment is I found out where I might loan expensive watches for review in the future! Thanks Douglas!

And here I was set to check out some Citizen Eco Drives on The Amazon when "BANG"! A Nutn WRV! Just pre-ordered the -02 b/c I did the blue face. Thanks for your continued great content on The Patreon!!

Matt

Yeah those high end high price watches are definitely nice, but I feel like once you hit a certain threshold you get diminishing returns on your money comparing quality to cost. Eventually they just add diamonds and precious metals to get that price higher. You could spend a lot less and get, if not the same, comparable functionality and value out of a watch that may not be something as prestigious as a Rolex, ya know? Now if you're wearing it as a status symbol, I think thats more of the intended use of a watch like that. Just my opinion.

Paul Kwiatkowski

Its has good value and nice features but big bezel and just too thick with small face. Thinner is better for me and quietness counts too. Ever include loud ticking in the WRV? Its sometimes a be a problem. Too picky? Maybe.

J Ram

I just purchased a Russian shotgun a month or so back (Baikal, O/U 12ga)...this might make a cool time-piece to wear when I take it pheasant hunting or to the range....but that's a lot of "Soviet" for such American activities, lol.

Eric

The guardian is putting it at the end of every article. "Donate to the guardian so we can protect America from the hatred of trump and conservatives" is essentially what it says. It starts out as "A fresh start for America..." I'm just pissed at their lies, not surprising though.

david rockwell

The Arkhipov certainly has a high aesthetic quality that makes one consider a unwarranted purchase. Arkhipov's story is very similar to that of Stanislav Petrov; one man of courage can alter the course of the world. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication.

Tacticaldoodle

I never think it's sympathizing, I figure anyone shooting (unless they're dressed like a discord Mod) with socialist/commie stuff is using it like a trophy, not an endorsement of ideology. It's like a GI wearing his comandeered luftwaffe watch.

Micahbraedon

Cccp typhoon next? When they are available that is.

Chase Ferguson

Brett is correct the people of Russia aren’t evil. The government is but heck ours is too!

Bluegill097

Man I’m drooling over that blue and white turtle watch! I was super glad when you first said on camera that you had come around to liking autos, im one of those guys that thinks autos have more soul to them. Thanks for the “shout out “

Harold Galen McPheron

Great watch, but a Soviet produced watch isn't my cup of tea....

Andrettski

I used to be right there with you H.G., but now I own 3 mosins, a Russian SKS and 3 AK47's. I also love food from Germany, Italy, India and all over SE Asia among others.

Bluegill097

Welllllll thanks nutn I caved and bought one using your link! I don’t know if I should be mad at you or give you a high five lol I didn’t need another watch but I couldn’t pass that up

Adam Boyd

Not a watch guy, but it's been a few days and I needed a TNP fix. It raises a question. Are there any Russian knives available here and, if so, are they good?

Porter3861

Update: purchase was a fail. The watch arrived broken with the minute hand just swinging around the face apparently not attached to the mechanism. So that sucked. Contacted Drop who said the manufacturer had a complete warranty and helpfully directed me thus. However, CCCP Timepieces refused to honor the warranty as I'd bought from a third party vendor. I got back in touch with Drop and they very helpfully agreed to issue me a full refund. I know this is only one data point, but I was not happy at CCCP's customer service. Drop, on the other hand, was outstanding in responding to the situation.
