Vostok with spotty indexes
Just bought a Vostok from an FB group.
Beautiful dial, little circles as 12-3-6-9 indexes. Simple 3 hander. Nice wear...

Do you like it? I'm thinking about purchasing same model, but still have some hesitations....
It's a recent purchase, so I have no experience yet. Comfortable, looks nice, works fine so far.
The crown is a bit oversized, but I think this is a replaced crown on my piece. The fluted gold-color bezel is a bit strange, but ok.
I was afraid a bit about the dial being "too girlish", but in real life it is "just elegant" with a bit of a twist.
I have seen some of those on eBay. The Soviet watch stylists were not afraid to try something different and the current stylists sometimes keep up the tradition.
I see you have been a member since 2048. Good to see people from the future coming back to buy up vintage watches.
Wow, I didn't know that I WILL register on WatchCrunch. :-)
Three gold balls is the traditional symbol of pawnbrokers. Eterna used the five ball logo to denote their five ball bearings. I guess these are just stylized substitutes for arrow or triangular index marks at the cardinal points.
