I really hope you enjoy this video I have made. When I first started this channel, people seemed to get a buzz from learning about the brand and some history behind timepieces, as well as seeing a watch review.
I aim to include where I can some fun and interesting back story to my reviews, where sometimes newer brands, and Chinese watches don't always have that to offer. With that in mind, if you like my videos, please subscribe and help me grow this channel to be one of learning, fun and review all at the same time.
I really appreciate you watching my content, and if you wish to support the channel, apart from subscribing, check out my eBay shop, as there I have a nice selection of watches and straps I hope you like! Thanks so much.
www.ebay.co.uk/str/watchmewit... The small print: All watches in all my videos are genuine items and not copies or fakes. Homage watches are legal and I just review them. I am careful to use the word "homage" when presenting that type of watch, because that is what they are. All images and sounds used are either my own or used under the fair use policy. Thank you.

The problem with Vostok's is that they are so affordable and therefore collectable . I've just ordered my 7th from Meranom.

The 090 is known as the barrel, the lesser 119 is a short barrel, 060 is the pillow, then there is the 710 which is a squared off 090 with the tonneau or cover over the lugs missing, 170, 150, 420 are kinda variations on the theme. The swing lug Amphibia was the first of its name, the 090 was the original "ministry issue" type in 1967 hence why Vostok's special editions are 1967's, this was followed by the almost savage looking 710 which itself was replaced by the Ratnik in more recent years. The Ratnik is basically a brass cased 060 in a pvd brown finish with its own camo sleeve attached to the strap, standard Vostok hands and bezel etc.

Probably one of the first KZfaqr who has noticed how friction bezel works! Well done! I can only add that you can regulate friction to some degree. It depends on the way you install bronze wire inside the bezel.

@bigriceburner

I'm late to the party but just bought an 090 that should be here any day now. I appreciate you showing us the history of these pieces and that other video explaining the basic disassembly.

Your Vostok looks awesome. Makes me want one of my own and I’ve never been a diver fan. Until now.

I agree with what Raymond asked for.

I recently showcased my very early Boctok, very small watches they were with the unusual octagonal case, I have three others but they aren't working unlike the recent acquisition which runs OK but needs regulating I think.

I love me a vostok, I have three atm, the jewel on the crown being a Neptune SE 960743 (no.545 out of 1500). I'll probably buy a K-35 and a classic amphibia next, and I'm planning to add super luminova to the dial/hands on the amphibia.
