What is this?
Hi all. So my watch repair kit has finally arrived from Mr Bezos' house of fun so naturally my first thought was to crack some casebacks off. I removed my Vostoks caseback and was greeted by this. What is this? I didn't even know Vostok made Hand wind watches. Any place I can read up on their history? Thanks!
Side note, that movement looks really good compared to the state of the case

Far have I travelled and much have I seen Goodison, Anfield are places I've been Maine Road, Old Trafford still echo to the sound Of the boys in red from the City Ground

A good jumping off point for Soviet watches: https://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/vostok and https://vintagewatchinc.com/ussr/vostok/

Thanks mate 👍
Great place for practice. You can mess it up and still not lose much. Those are simple loosely built tanks.
I purchased 5 for my groomsmen a few years back and have owned 4 myself over the years. I believe all or at least most of them were hand wound
cheap little movements and not going to win any awards.
but a fun watch to have none the less
I was gifted a Vostok by my Dad when I was a kid. This was in the 70s. I loved its crunchy hand winding sound and feel, and enjoyed listening to its loud ticking. I wore it to school everyday with great pride.
Vostok/Wostok 2409
If it has the date, then it's a 2414 or 2414A.
