Collections with Vostok, and Vostok Collectors
Undoubtedly there are those who are on a path to find all the variations of the Vostok Komandirskie and Amphibia watches. And with many if not most of the watches selling under it around $100, these are an easy rabbit hole to fall into.
How about those who have a collection otherwise? Are there a few Vostoks in your rotation, sitting between the Omegas, Tissots, and CW's? What do you have, and why?

I've been collecting relatively inexpensive watches for years. New to watch making though! That's a whole 'nuther deep rabbit hole to fall down! Sooooo many tools...

I've got a Komandirskie and an Amphibia on the way.

One Komandirskie with a Sukhoi SU-35 on the dial and one KGB Amphibia. Looking to get a Retro Prestige driver style but those are hard to find. I wanted diversity in my collection and appreciate that Vostoks are the epitome of tool watches.
Have the "Driver" dial hand wind.
Awaiting the right price on the "Paner-phibia" sandwich dial.
Might eventually go after the space dude GMT.

Of course you'd have the style I'm after 😂

Hey Yani @yani365
I picked up this Commander (2414 movement) because I thought it was a great-looking design with the Eagle and the titanium nitride finish and I love a second hand that is a different color. It was a no-brainer auction purchase, really cool watch!
Cool! I have never seen a titanium nitride finish on a watch!
My first mechanical watch was a Vostok gifted to me from my dad well over a decade ago- see below. I have ave collected several since, and they do indeed sit between Omega, Tissot, Tudor, and other brands.
Love the Amphibia on the 710 ministry case. I have owned a few. I do own a Komardiskie 24hr piece.. on a strange rare new case. Love Vostok.
Here's my two...

Nice! I especially like the green one. That color combination really pops for me!

Yes. I don't know the case number but its a Komanderski with amphibia specs in terms of 200m etc which appealed to me. Probably gets more wear than the black scuba dude
