thats a lot of vostok collection. nice 🙏🏻
I own two Amfibia and they are the quirckiest watches I have in my collection. Letting someone else unscrew the crown and then yell at him "What have you done you Idiot, look it's broken now" is priceless and work every time.

It got me the first time.
Nice variety there which also shows where Vostok's hidden strength is: the dial design department. Most of their cases and movements have not changed much for a long time so production of those is pretty much by the numbers but the dial artwork keeps the range sort of fresh.
Maybe one day a Ukrainian entrepreneur with create a series of commemorative dials to go into Vostok watches. One of those dials could have an image of the Moskva listing severely, or maybe the Kerch Bridge missing a chunk.

Way ahead of you.
Thats a very nice collection you have there. I wonder if they have a Tanker Komandirski with out the date just plain. I have a scuba dude already.
