I would double check that. I've heard they aren't built well.
Often the reviewers you'll see on YouTube won't give you an accurate picture of things in real world use.
I like my Komandirskie, but they're hand-wind not automatic. They're easy to regulate and maintain. Lume doesn't last long at all. There's plenty of videos showing how to adjust the friction fit bezel.
I have 2 Vostok watches (a komanderskie and an amphibia) and I would say that they're interesting pieces but are nothing special. In the same way that enthusiasts love making a big deal out of the F91w, these seem to be another popular option among watch fans. My opinion, they are affordable mechanical watches, yes, but you can spend similar money elsewhere and get a better watch.
This is an automatic watch. Cal. 2415.12 with 31 Jewels. Larger than standard Komandirskie at 42, and 100m WR (as it's a Vostok, probably double that). I have half a dozen and no issues with any other than timekeeping, which can be good or poor, but a bit of regulation can improve it.
They're mighty fine watches with a higher water resistance than what is written on the manual. My only suggestion with Vostoks is try to find one with no date-wheel, it's a pain in the ass to change it
