Amphibia Force Barcelona. Any good?
So now is not a good time to be ordering Vostok Amphibias and Komanderski from Russia for obvious reasons.
The obvious one is the ethics of buying from an aggressive state that has invaded another country.
Even if you wanted to the chances of processing a succesful order seem remote and prices appear all over the place from sites such as Meranom where I have previously bought watches.
But I see frequent adverts from Amphibia Force based in Barcelona which appears to offer quite heavily modded Vostoks for not too much money.
We are talking just north of a hundred quid for a watch with an original vostok movement but with sapphire, a much improved bezel and a non standard bracelet or strap.
So pretty much the much beloved vostok in a package improved in every way for perhaps double the price of the original?
I'm presuming these are models previously purchased from vostok for the Spanish domestic market which I understand is a huge market for Russian watches.
I can find no reviews from anyone who has purchased from Amphibia Force yet a lot of their watches for sale look to me very tempting?
I know lots of collectors mod their vostoks themselves but for those not inclined or experienced in this who want to purchase something a bit different and certainly improved does this company offer a good solution?
Anybody on watchcrunch have a view or experience of Amphibia Force?
An enthusiast and collector for two years. Got it worse now than when I fell down the rabbit hole! The more I learn the greater my affliction becomes... A particular interest in titanium divers and vi...
No sorry I have two vostoks one a gmt and another that I modified with new bezel and leather band. I love this brand and will always have one in my collection.
You and me both my friend! I'm after some more but reluctant to use meranom at the moment. Hence my post about Amphibia Force but it seems no one has any experience of them!
