Man, I miss the days when these and SNK800s where $60 😢

[conzmoleman]

These were my first mechanical watches. Made me fall in love with the hobby.

[FirstGenInvestor]

Crazy how every watch YouTuber talks about the same 10-15 watches

[Snuggle]

I'm wearing my vostok amphibia right now. Love it.

When I saw the watch, I knew Teddy was gonna catch some flak in the comments.

Have it on my wrist right now with the black NATO! My favorite watch to wear

[johnrand]

The Steve Zissou version is one of my favorite watches and I wear It far more often than any of my Rolex. It is the best reverse snob watches ever. Cheers!

Amazing watches. I own the Komandirskiye Vostok watch

[msquared]

I think I just found my sons first watch

[pietrobrunati]

Russian watches are like the ak47. Not prettier or better made than 90% of the other brands, but it will always work and it is damn cheap

I love my amphibia! Got one with a shark mesh bracelet with butterfly clasp, and its a good all around watch. I've worn it going swimming, and it's slim enough to fit under shirt cuffs when on a bracelet (NATO makes it too thick though). I don't love that money is going to Russia, but honestly it's a great watch, especially for 100 bucks!

I have an 090 with a tank dial on a cut to size shark mesh, the 090 is the government case, it's the only 19800bph movement.
I ordered alot when the rouble crashed for 25 dollars each.

My old 090 was like +1 - 1 but maybe from me regulating it now it's not that accurate but accurate enough.


I have 2 suba dudes for sale a 090 traditional date and no date new
QC has got to better before invasion not sure about now.

But a watch with a service interval of 10 years...

Monster seals, no click bezel 3mm thick acrylic it can take 800 to 900m

[Nadtochy]

I have two Vostok Amphibia watch, Zissou dial and Neptune, and I can't say anything but how I am pleased with both of them.

[Mike-In-O-Town]

I have two Vostok's and love them for what they are. But then again, I love watches with interesting back stories. They're super fun watches that don't break the bank.

[philippestrickler]

Quite Nice . no problem for maintenance ????

[The_Great_Hejaz]

From its seconds hand sweeping it is apparently 18, 000 vph

[hangtenboy]

I felt like it was a prerequisite to own, so I picked one up! Of course, I had to open it up and service it. Simple, functional and fun to wear for $79 😂

[hardcoreizer]

What is the ref. number of the one showed?

[keysncoffee]

This short came to me randomly yesterday and reminded me of this great watch. I went and bought one soon after 😂

[linksab]

Very cool watch! It is sad to see that the Russians get such a bad rep for the current events but it is also understandable.

I wish for peace and love between nations and wish that we can all just sit down and enjoy watches together
