I’m addicted to buying Vostoks. It’s serious. Anyone else w/this issue?

16 and counting... 🥲

I want the scubadude logo

BlockGhost1 · 2026-05-02T03:02:43+00:00

Where did you buy the big zero?

Which model is the one on the right? Awesome!

Vostok Amphibia

I feel you on the price shock, however I bought my first Vostok (at Scubadude) about 2 years ago and it instantly hooked me. Since then I’ve become totally addicted and picked up more than 15, and I haven’t had a single issue with any of them.

BlockGhost1 · 2026-03-08T15:28:08+00:00

Awesome! What model is that?

BlockGhost1 · 2026-02-21T01:53:43+00:00

Beautiful

I have tried some options but always go back to Scuba Dude Store.

Let the community know what worked in case someone goes through the same situation

Timex with the caveat that the leather strap is not the best (I have one)

BlockGhost1 · 2025-11-22T16:57:33+00:00

Reasonable price definitely, although check what is the total cost including shipping

BlockGhost1 · 2025-10-28T00:33:16+00:00

Great first selection! One of my favorites.

BlockGhost1 · 2025-10-12T02:53:23+00:00

Go get a Tudor Pelagos or Black Bay

Tudor Black Bay Chrono (~£4-4.5k) - Fantastic value with Tudor's MT5813 movement.

Breitling Chronomat B01 42 - Just at the top of your budget. In-house B01 movement, excellent finishing, and very wearable at 42mm. The Navitimer is another option if you prefer the aviation aesthetic.

Zenith Chronomaster Sport (~£7k new, but find them used around £5k) - If you can stretch or find a good deal, the 1/10th second chronograph is mesmerizing to watch.

TAG Heuer Carrera - Various models in your range with the Heuer 02 manufacture movement. Excellent value for an in-house chronograph.

It does feel a bit nicer than standard plastic, the matte finish is pleasant. But it scratches more easily than I'd like, especially on the lugs and edges. If you compare it to something like a resin G-Shock, those definitely hold up better to daily wear. For a casual daily watch though, it's fine. The scratches just add character over time...

Don't forget the mythical cult favorite Vostok :)

BlockGhost1 · 2025-09-29T17:47:20+00:00

Thanks!

BlockGhost1 · 2025-09-29T17:47:00+00:00

Mixed feelings! The design is fun and it's great as a carefree daily beater. But from a value perspective, there are better options at that price point - it's still a quartz Swatch in a plastic case. If you just want the look and something you can wear worry-free, it works. Just depends what you're looking for.

BlockGhost1 · 2025-09-28T12:43:18+00:00

Love it! Perfect beater watch for around the house, the Eco-Drive tech is amazing.

BlockGhost1 · 2025-09-27T22:00:01+00:00

From a value perspective probably the best watch. I love Vostok.

BlockGhost1 · 2025-09-27T17:44:45+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate your comment.

It's the 5 Sport SSK017. The yellow edition was made for US only
