Многими чегемцами было замечено, что парень этот своими глубоко запавшими глазами и большими часами кировского завода на широком запястье, носимыми поверх рукава рубахи, сильно смущает девушек округи... Кстати говоря, кроме часов в те годы, как знак власти, начинали входить в моду чесучовые кителя (Искандер 3). It was noted by many Chegemians that this young man with the deep-sunken eyes and the big Kirov watch on his thick wrist (he wore the watch over his shirtsleeve) created quite a stir among the neighborhood girls.... Incidentally, besides watches, another item that began to come into fashion in those years as a mark of power was the tussah tunic of military cut (3a).
