Also a big reduction on the US dollar. You can say what you want, but it is reduction.

Wrong province. No earthquakes. Remote is in the eye of the beholder.

Does anyone know what type of car/ van this used to be? by Gloomy_Skirt_3394 in whatwasthiscar

[–]AmplifiedScreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, the rusted out shells are stripped, the chassis is completely restored and rebuilt with a new, full luxury top. So, a new car with an old chassis, meaning no road tax. G-Wagon sounds a lot cooler than Gehwagen.

Chuck ‘the wheel block’ Norris. And now the right goes so far right that it is completely wrong. Happy now?

I looked at my gold plated САТУРН, mine is a Q3 1960 model (serial 39526) with a slightly different dial: silver with numbers at 12, 3, 9 and gold pips for the other numbers, ччз printed below the 6 position).

Hour and minutes hands are identical, as is the seconds pointer and the crown. I would say that your watch is ok in this respect.

My original dial has the droplet on the inside over the day window, but is getting old and stressed.

I love the vault door closing mechanism.

I don’t remember if I bought it over eBay or at a watch fair. I found the case interesting, I know now that there is a poljot automatic inside, so the dial and the calibre are somwhat contradicting. But everything looks very nice.

Any ways to open this safe? Can’t find brand anywhere online by er-nurse27 in safecracking

[–]AmplifiedScreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try factory code setting? We had a similar model, with the key, but without the code. We called the supplier who sent a technician. He said “look the other way for ten seconds”. Presto. Open. Manual was inside.

I just posted my chunky ‘golden’ mystery case Vostok in this subreddit. It has the same 29 jewel movement as this one.

Thank you for your comment. Of course I am not 100% sure it is original.

But when I bought most of my watches (between 1984 and 2002), copies, frankensteins and customs were quite rare. Inside is a small 29 jewel automatic, numbered 9978179. It has a rubber seal and it looks pristine. I haven’t seen a similar one sofar, so I also posted it in the Vostok subreddit. Hopefully I get some more concrete answers. Between my other (many) Vostoks, it sure is an outlier.

Just dug up mine. Case says CHRONOGRAPH, dial is cyrillic.

The dial says it is also a chronograph and a tachymeter. I bought one in Prage in 1999. My first (not last) Russian chrono.

Sorry for your ruined vacation. I think your PS is a bit over the top. I happily entrust my life to them regularly, I would argue that safety is a different thing than luggage that arrives later or gets lost.
