YouHaoBao - Special version of Youyi (Friendship)


A rare version of Youyi - Friendship watch. Chinese writing "YouHaoBao" and both USSR & PRC flag are found on the dial instead of the normal "YouYi". Chinese words "YouHaoBao" means good friendship newspaper. 1952 October, first issue of "China Soviet YouHaoBao" published & launched in China. Not sure if this watch was an mermorial watch for the newspaper or an domestic version in USSR? Quit sure that, this model had never been sold in China as I had never seen one in the local market so far. Most local collector had never head of this model before. I got this watch from a Russian ebay seller and have only seen few pieces selling in ebay so far.
