Is this watch a Real Vostok Komandirskie ( Russian) Mechanical watch?
Looking to buy this watch from seller outside my city. He is asking for $31 for the watch and he says that he bought it in 2016. I don't know much, but it seems too good to be true? Can anyone help?

Newbie watch nerd. I have a watch right now and I want to use the plural form in the future. I like cool watches.

From the pic it looks ok. I have heard of Chinese fakes but have not seen one. That model looks like a 431831 where 43 is the case design, the xx1xxx is the chrome plate finish, and the 831 is the particular dial and handset design.
Have a look at the Meranom site for this watch's listing.

Okay, thanks man! Do you think the $31 price tag is fair? Also, is there anything I can do to verify the watch since I can't go check it physically?

Depending on where you are in the world $31 sounds ok. I have seen Japanese sellers ask ridiculous amounts for watches like this. From the not very sharp pic it looks like it has not been worn much. The lucite (higher grade acrylic) crystal attracts scratches.
How much do watches like this one sell for on eBay or similar where you are?
No good way to verify the running of watch until you wear it a few days.

Hey bro, I live in India, there is no ebay here and this is the only vostok I could find used and I didn't find any new ones either. I was able to get the price down to $29 including shipping. He sent me this and also said that it hasn't been used much so your guess is right.
I guess this is most of the information I can get right?
Seems like a reasonable deal in your market.

Thanks man, this gives me all the confidence needed to go through with the deal. Really appreciate you! Is there any way I could be friends with you? I joined this forum make some buddies haha
If its from Gregslist I won't chance it maybe better luck on eBay looks fair and good. 31 bucks roll it man!
