No, but looks like your purchase is gonna pass directly over my area of eastern "Kanuckistan" very shortly! If can get 'em to land, I'll check it out for ya 😀 😉

commented on Are You Abstaining From Wearing Russian Watches? ·

I feel the same way ... the workers who manufacture these watches are just ordinary working-class folk like m'self ... just tryin' to make a living, so I feel no ill-will whatsoever towards them.

The conflict in Europe is politically driven IMHO ...

Vostok watches are very unique, interesting and retro-cool! 😎 I still rock my couple of "Boctoks" on occasion! 👍

OK, took a photo of the case back of my Vostok Amphibia?? Komanderskie??

According to a previous participant in this Thread, the Cyrillic script on the dial indicates that it is a Komaderskie model ...

yet the case back seems to indicate Amphibia??

I guess some of those late-Soviet / early post-Soviet era Vostoks really are parts-bin specials!! LOL!!

commented on Am I a Watch Snob? ·

want whatcha like and like watcha want ... no shame in that!

I do appreciate the appreciate the "no-fuss-no-muss" convenience of a quartz piece and think that Addiesdive watch is VERY nice! I'd wear it fer sure! 👍

Perfect combo man!!!

The T/A looks like a '76? ... doesn't have the "Burt Reynolds" front end of the one '77 or '78 in "Smokey & the Bandit"

commented on My first (informed) watch purchase ·

NICE! I've not seen a Kamasu with gilded accents like yours before ... awesome lookin' watch!

I have an older version pepsi bezel Mako II ... only mineral glass for crystal; which is scratched to shit! LOL!

Maybe I should replace it with a double-domed sapphire? Hmmmm ... project in the near future?!

Hey, from the background of your posted photo, looks like you're in the Engineering or Construction field too?
