Wow. You've put a lot of work into this.

It looks really good for collectors (sorry - I'm not a collector!).

Sorry to see the English forum is so quiet. The Russian language side seems so much more interesting. I'm not sure many English speakers would have the technical skills to read the detail in the book but the images look fantastic.

Any info on this watch:

some one is asking from France :)

Sorry, no. I suspect this watch is not a presentof Russian tsar :p

Presentation watch from Grand Duke Alexey Alexandrovich (with anchor), and his brother Vladimir Alexandrovich. Both are brothers of Al III

Are the letterings enamelled, or just painted on?

I wonder what it looks like in the inside.

Clearly some marine theme with the anchor - is he trying to make reference to the Russian naval fleet or something?!

enamelled.
Grand Duke Alexey Alexandrovich was tha last general-admiral of Russian Impire. U can find an achive documents for this watch in my book.
