WOTD 17 February 2022
Lots to do so wearing the Vostok 170548. Russian solidity with the in house Russian movement. Built like a tractor to take abuse without much in the way of servicing. Lots of quirks that the Vostok lovers view as charm.
Runs at 19800vph with a mighty 31 hour reserve.

Living in SE England. Worn a watch since 1977 and feel odd without one on my wrist. Lucky enough to have built up a few over the years.

I really like the Panerai vibes from this Vostok model. It is definitelly firstin my list for a future vostok purchase.

The sandwich dial is what interested me in the model, they are a drag to buy as last I looked they were out of stock on the "reputable" Russian website. I heard lots of complaints from people buying from Russian Ebayers so I chickened out and paid a few pounds over the odds from a UK eBay seller.
Starting the day off w/ a Khaki Field chrono..
A C65 Trident for me later this afternoon/evening..
Love it. I own the small seconds @ 10 version. I purchased mine while my Panerai was sent back for spa treatment for over a month. It was a nice substitute but not a replacement.
Really like this watch, please let us know where you got it! (Just bought that exact strap so I want to put in on THIS watch!)
