asciwhite Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Looking good!! I am already heavily into modding mine.. New bezel, new bezel insert. Mine came with a broken movement, so I bought a blue dial ministry one that I am going to transplant dial and movement from. Keeping hands from this one... And a defender bracelet from Deep Blue....

Russian dude on eBay (you need to pm him and ask if he has bezels) http://stores.ebay.com/vostokpoljotwatchesfromrussia/ Murphys http://www.murphymanufacturing.com/index.html Bezel insert comes from Dagaz http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/ Dial came from eBay (I bought a whole watch though) http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=amphibian+dials&_nkwusc=amphibia+dials&_rdc=1
asciwhite Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Murphy has these bezels in stock Nice clean look, and adds some depth to the whole deal

Nanuq Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 Wow! These look a lot like the old Blancpain Barakuda.
