Just found a Yeltsin watch

Today i found another gem, this was my grandfathers and from what i heard from my grandmother it was a gift from Yeltsin, to him before the 1996. It was just laying around.
Just-a cool watch with a cool story. Gotta get the bracelet fixed I’ll probably be wearing it soon.
Wonder what the value could be I know similar models go for around 400$, either way i’ll be rocking it.

Old soviet Raketa watch 14k gold

This is an old watch that I found exploring things with my grandmother. This watch was gifted to my father by his godfather, in the early 70’s.
It is a manual wound mechanical watch made from 14k gold in the Soviet Union by Raketa (Ракета) in (Petrodvorets Watch Factory).
Still works as weird as it may sound.
I know the bracelet is Chinese made, but apparently it was gifted with this bracelet.
Anyone has a clue on how to pin down the age of this watch? Or any fun trivia on this?
