Immensely cool (gen) Vostok Maxim Gorky coming soon

Did they give you any idea when they'd ship it or when you can expect to receive it? I want to see this thing so badly that I'm tempted to get on a plane and pick it up for you. Although that would probably defeat the whole "reasonably priced" thing, given that my plane ticket would be more than the watch.

I'm dying to see how these look in person. One of my concerns is how it wears. My wrists are dainty and delicate (6.5"), so I can't really wear certain styles of big watches. I can wear a HBB just fine, but a 44mm Pam Luminor just looks like a clown watch on me. So I'm really interested in seeing some wrist shots and maybe a few comparison shots.

Heck, I might just join you on a trip to this place too.

Ok, just got an e-mail stating that the watch was shipped out via USPS today from CT. So I'd expect the watch to get here by late this week or maybe early next. Hopefully it'll get here before the weekend so I can do a mini review of the watch.

glad to hear that...I decided to skip this one and to go for a project that I dreamt for more than 3 years now...a nice vintage PAM...more info to follow in the next month or two...

Oops, I bought one. I need to get away from this place (which I did for a year after getting my Davidsen Fiddy, but reemerged 2 months ago and got 5 more watches since then, doh)

Welcome to the club, baby. Which one did you get?

I have been really digging the Rose Gold + Black combo. I was looking at the Big Bang rep in Rose Gold and Black Ceramic, but I would rather spend that kind of money on a gen. Hence the Vostok. Here's my other Rose Gold + Black/Brown watch (Hamilton X-Wind):

Where I come from, wearing a Russian watch like a Vostok was a indicator of lower-middle class social status. Today this view has carried over to the point where wearing one is a pretty big fashion faux-pas, because it reminds of days of socialism and financial despair.

So Corgi, buying this one was a mistake? Am I now obligated to go slap my nearest Rooskie??? ;P
