gioarmani Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Supposedly guaranteed to 200m, comrades! Rotating bezel, thick domed crystal, double-lock crown, RUS2446 (?) movement. Have a look: Crack it open & have a look inside. "B", for "Vostok" ("Boctok", in cyrillic): Interesting how the case-back fits together; one piece? Nyet! Two pieces. Apply some silicon grease... Remove some links: Fits good now, da? "IF LOST, RETURN TO KREMLIN." Sorry about the fuzzy pics--hand held kitchen shots right after I got it. Excited enough to go out and get some treats from the Motherland. Dasvi Dosvidanja! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Nice one Gioarmani, I've a number of Vostoks and find them great value. Rugged and robust they seem to just keep running! The Amphibian is a great watch, a great daily beater IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleJames Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well the watch isn't quite my style, but I did like your usage of random Russian words! Are there any websites that sell Vostok which you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Cool watch! It looks serious! Vostok and Poljot are "lot of bang for the bucks" On eBay you can buy vintage Soviet watches for almost nothing... Lots of rubbish, but some nice vintage military pieces.. Check out the "Sthurmanskie" Chronograps.. Issued to the USSR Airforce navigators. They use a Valjoux 7734 copy movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm probably selling this one, if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
