southcoast68 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Hi all I figured I'd take a break this month from the reps for a nice gen. Nothing really expensive, but cool looking anyway. I got this beauty from the 'Bay for around $170, its factory reconditioned with a 2 year warranty. The Vostok Europe Expedition 2006, a real nice looking GMT/Date watch in solid stainless. Movement is a Vostok 32 jewel automatic, screw down crown and case back, water resistant to 10ATM. Nice lume on the dial and hands as well as a nice black leather band. Granted, its not a Rollie, but I think its damn nice for the price. Not the first Russian gen in my collection and probably won't be the last. Enjoy the pics.
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Talk about bang for your buck!!! Id like to see a lume shot, it looks like it might be pretty nice! Nice looking watch!!!
Ztech Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Congrats on your new addition. Yes, those Vostok's are a great bang for the buck enjoy.
pobiga Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 It's really a very nice piece. Which is the size of this beauty? Enjoy!!
southcoast68 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Posted April 30, 2008 It's really a very nice piece. Which is the size of this beauty? Enjoy!! It measures about 42mm across the bezel, not including the crown, and about 13mm thick.
swdivad Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Nice watch Looks very similar to some Kobold models
chrgod Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Ah... Vostok! Cool watch. That's a limited edition? 424/3000? My very first mechanical watch was a Vostok "Komandirskie" Submariner watch, bought in St Petersburg in 1991. Nice watch, which was my beater for two years. It even got some scars from a motorcycle accident. Date change and precision was rough, though.. Some month ago, I bought a Poljot Shturmanskie. Soviet Military Aviator Chronograph, with a second timezone bezel. Made in the good old days before capitalistic forces infiltrated the Soviet watch industry! A genuine vintage military chrono for 200 USD... Soviet watches are cool!

Its a shame that there are so many great brands out there, but only a privlaged few get big time recognition. BTW-I also have a MOLNIJA Russian pocket watch, like brand new I got at a "Flea Market" about 10 years ago.
