This is a custom made Ruhla dive watch for Tito. A custom made MOD dial and a set of RN hands taken from Cyma dive watch were installed. Dial was smaller than the case so Mr. Chung carved a pipe to fit inbetween the dial and the case. Quartz movement has also been replaced with an automatic movement. Flat mineral glass that sits lower than the bezel was replaced with a slightly dome shaped plastic crystal. Tito's Ruhla had a slightly different caseback. It had a caseback retainer ring on the outside, similar to those found on Vostok. It also had NVA issue markings. Crown is similar to Rich Andrew's Ruhla hybrid in that it is canteen styled. Enjoy the photos!
