I'm a fellow student who is into mechanical and automatic movements. My budget for watches isn't great but I hope to with time expand my roster. My main collection piece so far is a certina DS first automatic watch in the silver/golden variant presenter to me as s gift.
The watch is supposed to be a vintage original serviced, manufacturing date 1970-1980. I would say it could be because the dial is a bit faded and the...
So i had some very bad luck, I got nudged in a cramped metro on the way out and got these tiny scratches. It's supposed to be sapphire crystal. Is the...

Uh I found fret too much over it. I think get some other fun watches like this on eBay, I've seen on eBay like this but in black variantÂ

That's a very nice long king watch. Interesting enough my dad got me into watches without him realising it. He gifted me his certina diver because he didn't need it and it just triggered something in me.Â
I have my scope on some vintage vostoks now, hopefully I won't get scammed, the sellers aren't very genuine sadly :(Â

So in your opinion, you think that this watch is a modded serviced molnija watch with a fantasy dial? I mean even if its atleast the movement seems to be original, getting it checked now Â

I am sorry i wrote bs in my post, the seller did state it was a molnija watch, i just for some reason in my head connected komandirskie=vostok. From what i gather the watch movement seems to be original and from the 1970-1975. Now from the same sellers i've seen quite a few watches that were either watches themed with the airforce, space travel etc. well basically what vostok does with their dials.Â
I recently came across on eBay a Vostok watch variant "smersh" with "death to spies" text. I realise this may come as a controversial watch however I...
