hello to France ! My Vostok Amphibia 710 est calée à + 20 seconde / 24 heures, alors je ne la touche pas!!! thank's you!

yes sir, did the same paid like 3400 russian rubles, which is like 5 bucks nowadays(pun intended) but, unfortunately can't order anymore

@@PuppyH8er2 i just got my vostock amphibia and really happy with it. it came with a black rubber band which looks a bit chincy but feels nice on the wrist. i am going to change it out to a light weight stainless bracelet band. upon seeing the inside of your watch i was a bit surprised that the parts looked had a bit of crude finish look to them but i guess it doesn't matter that much. i ordered mine just before the war broke out and i was afraid i wouldn't get it with all the restrictions going on but when it finally came the envelope was loaded with russian postal stamps which was cool. when i told my wife i had bought a russian watch she kinda freaked but she agrees it looks nice. i've had it a few days and i can't stop looking at it, it's that nice to me.

Glad it helped!

Very nice! Way to go. That is super impressive time keeping.

It gets even more impressive: now that the movement seems to have settled in it runs on +2 seconds a day! It's unbelievable. This is Chronometer quality. I have a Breitling Blackbird literally 100 times more expensive than my Vostok which runs at +3 sec a day. But then again, it has been doing that for 17 years already. Let's wait and see how the Vostok holds up :-)

Yes...same...+5 second for 24 hour is enough...

@@wvi1966 Yes, I've got mine to to average +2/+3 seconds over a 24hr period. They are truly amazing watches

@Wessel van Ingen I know people sometimes find it absurd to pay typical current (US) rates for watch servicing when it comes to Vostoks, but if you do so when called for like you would with your Breitlings and Rolexes, I see no reason why you shouldn't get continuing reliability and accuracy from your Amphibia/Komandirskie. Thanks for sharing the video, Heart of Texas Armory!

Super. Mine came that accurate out of the box. Currently -3 seconds per day. When it's that accurate, it's not wise to try to adjust it further. You would probably get it worse.

You're welcome! Hope it helps!

Hi Neal, Well, I've adjusted my Vostok Amphibia about 8 times now. Each time I made small (or so I thought) adjustments. The first 2 times, I waited 5 days between readjustment, and wore the watch every day. When I first got the watch (new) it was running about +60 seconds/day. So far I've not been happy with the results. In contrast, I made just 2 adjustments to my Seiko Alpinist and have it currently running at + 6 seconds/day which is well within its spec. I'll keep at it with the Vostok and see if I can achieve better than its specs, which are listed as -20/+60 sec/day. Note: I use a G-Shock synced to the Atomic clock for my reference.

I'm positive you can get your Vostok to run within spec. I would try adjusting it again. You can just wait a hour or so between adjustments to speed up the process. Keep me informed.

Hi Neal, Thanks. Yes, I am now not waiting so long between adjustments. In fact I adjusted it yesterday and twice today...LOL.

Check your watch for magnetism.

😎😎👍

Γεια σου Παναγιώτη. Πριν χρόνια είχα κάνει ΑΚΡΙΒΏΣ το ίδιο με ένα ρολόι τσέπης Rakketa Made in the USSR το οποίο πριν είχε ακρίβεια Quartz!!! Το αποτέλεσμα ΚΑΤΑΣΤΡΟΦΉ !!! Πάλεψα να το διορθώσω διαλύοντας το WD40 με καθαρή αλκοόλη με φτωχά αποτελέσματα. Ευτυχώς ο αδερφός μου είχε ένα φιλαράκι μάστορα και μου το έφερε πίσω ΚΑΙΝΟΎΡΙΟ με μηδέν κόστος. Λεπτομέρειες δε ρώτησα, μου αρκούσε το αποτέλεσμα!!! Τώρα το κουρδίζω καμιά φορά αραιά και που για να καμαρώνω τις επιδόσεις του στον Timegrapher που έχω.

@@babisioannou2050 Εγώ το "έχασα" το εν λόγω ρολόι (το πέταξα εντέλει). Έπαθα, έμαθα. Ποτέ WD-40 σε μηχανικό ρολόι... Έχω βέβαια και άλλα Vostok, Amfibia, αλλά "πόνεσα" διότι αυτό το σχέδιο μου άρεσε λίγο παραπάνω από τα άλλα που έχω.

Adding unnecessarily lubricant will mess up a watch. You probably ruined it by putting WD-40 in it. If you have the tools, it's already in need of a service.

Is it before or after regulating?

@@vaclav_fejt- That was before I regulated it. After regulating it... it's less than 2-3 seconds a day.

@@skynet_cyberdyne_systems Glad to hear that! I'm rather new to watches and I'm only learning to live with an automatic. I'm just scared I won't be able to close it water tight.

Mine went from -20 s/day to -60 s/day. I'll open it as soon as I'm perfectly sure I know how to close it water tight and I have all the tools.

Good to hear!

You're welcome!

WatchCheck is what I'd recommend. You can find in the Android or Apple marketplaces.

Thank you man...Appreciated.

It should be the same!

I'm glad I read this. I've just bought one and it was gaining a consistent +15 seconds per day for the first few days. One week later it's gaining +36 seconds per day, but if I place it on its side in one particular orientation it loses 9 seconds per day... Enormously frustrating with a bit of OCD thrown into the mix 😆 I need to just wear it daily for a while and see what it 'settles at' over time and I'll go from there.

Yes it is. It's a Vostok 2416B movement.

Just just slightly past hand tight. You don't have to over tighten for the gasket to seal. Just snug it up, tight enough that it won't ever unthread under normal use.

Thanks!

Yes

What did you do wrong?

@@malcior6465 wanked in it

@@malcior6465 Well I didn't destroy my K-35, but I messed up the inner settings. What did I do wrong? I followed this video to the letter.

Markus Gustafsson I’ve had mine for a couple of days and it’s running about +60 sec as well. Were you able to regulate it based on his tutorial here?

malbug You want to wait a few weeks/months of constantly having the watch run so you can let it break in so to speak. After that you should regulate it

Blurry Face seems to have corrected a bit. Not running nearly as fast.

If you want to get it more spot on then you can regulate it, it is not difficult with the vostoks because the water seal wont be troublesome

Plus 60 is still in spec... Just

этот рычаг не для скорости хода, для чего это уже хз

@@just_T4U если вы его смещаете то вы выполняете отклонение маятника от центра и одно из "колен" будет запаздывать. это может увеличить износ указанных деталей, да и вообще, я не специалист просто приложение на телефон установил и настроил.

There are some truth to this. A timegrapher would make regulation easier. I did this on my Vostok Komandirskie without any timegrapher and I was indeed chasing tails. I would over shoot and go too slow and overshoot again and go too fast. At that point I was tempted to buy a cheap timegrapher in AliExpress but decided against it. So I just continued adjusting until I finally got the hand of how small the nudge would be to make it move fast or slow by x number of seconds. With patience, my Komandirskie now runs +2 sec/day on wrist and even lower on winder. That's when I did my Vostok Amphibia 710 and this time got it after just a few tries. Not sure if I got lucky or I got experienced in how small a nudge is needed. I also got my Vostok Amphibia to within +2 seconds per day on wrist. Know first how fast/slow your watch is on wrist and on winder before you adjust it. Now I bought a new Amfibia Scuba and will let it settle for a few weeks and check how fast/slow it runs and may also do the regulation if needed. I check versus on wrist and on winder because I acknowledge that the Vostok has a wider positional deviation compared to my swiss watches (which I never even saw the need to regulate). Thus measuring how fast it is on wrist reflects the normal usage and on winder show more or less the average on different positions. I don't think it would be practical to set it across all positions, that would indeed be chasing tails. So basically my experience was it was frustrating in my first watch but was happy with the result. Then it was a fun experience on the second watch. I think that's the beauty of Vostoks and Seikos, the fun in being able to tinker with your watch and the satisfaction you get when you are able to make it perform or look (modding) the way you want it to.

A tried what was showed in a video, didn't help, and the watchmaker said I had to have a timegrapher (with the three-position jig) and to remove the rotor before attempting to set it. Also, he said I messed up the "limp", because it ran in different speeds in different positions.
