From Russia with love... The Vostok Amphibia

I know Vostok is the marmite of the watch collecting community but I love this piece. I love how it takes me 5 mins to set the date after not wearing it for a while. It feels great to wear and the Vostok Milanese strap fits beautifully.

I'm in the love 'em camp. Several of these, and I've never felt drawn to any other diver.

There is nothing wrong with any Watch company on my book except for a fake in my opinion. I love my Vostok especially evasive I was able to mod it and make it my own. If there is a watch I don’t like I never put any negative energy into the world. I just know it’s not for me. And that okay.

Mesh works nice on these watches and some of the other factory bracelets look interesting as well.

I have been perusing Amphibians lately in anticipation of a nice bonus from work. The large number of case styles and dial designs make it difficult to pin down the one that grabs me the most. I have been tending toward non-date movements recently.

Haha. Yes apologies it's an English thing I suppose. There is a spread that we put on our toast here called Marmite. The joke goes that you either love it or hate it. I love it just like Vostoks.

I hope your bonus comes through for you. I look forward to seeing what you decide on...
