When it comes to manufacturing fine things such as watches, vehicles or guns, certain nations excel such as Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan and even the Czechs to a more limited degree.  But the quality of Russian made products is 3rd world in comparison. 

Take mechanical watches for example. Each of the countries listed above (except for the Czechs) take pride in the ability of companies that can make very fine, precision watches.  But, then look at Russian made mechanical watches - freaking ugly as monkey **** and crudely made.  Yes, they work, but Russian made watches offend me they are so damn ugly.  I've tried to find one, JUST ONE, that I could say "now, that's a fine watch", but it's impossible.  They are all f-ing total ****. 

What about guns - can the Russians make a fine weapon?  No, they can't.  They make crude weapons that work.  Compare a Russian Over-Under shotgun made by Baikal to an O/U shotgun made by any of the Italian makers.  There is no comparison.  The Russian one is a monkey-turd that works ok, while the Italian shotguns can be as sought after as original paintings by famous artists.

It's that way with everything Russia makes.  For a country that is rather industrialized, Russia seems eons behind other European countries (and Japan) as to the level of fineness and quality.
