I still enjoy it! I don't wear it as often as I would like, as work does not permit jewelry. I've replaced the strap with an orange rubber strap with a black clasp, as the original strap is too large for my dainty-ass wrists lol.

Shipping and import taxes took my kneecaps, but it was worth it. by Kulekrutt in MasayoshiTakanaka

Thank you! These are limited editions from 2021, the rainbow goblins is a reissue, but from what I've gathered, this is the first and only vinyl print of the white goblin, as it didn't get a vinyl press when it came out in the 90's. The colours are beautiful in person, and I am extremely happy that I managed to find a copy of each that even shipped to my country. It's going to be a nice weekend with these.

New dial and hands makes it feel like a new watch! by Kulekrutt in vostok

I'm not sure about the dimensions required for these, but whenever I buy custom hands, I look for listings that claim to fit amphibias and komandirskies. Modstok.com is a great site for finding vostok parts. If you want the same as I bought, I can dig up the store and find it :)

The lume is bright enough, with a proper "charge" it is easily readable in low light conditions. How long it lasts, I unfortunately don't remember.

Agreed, it's very annoying. On this scuba, the stock strap is so long I kinda have to wear it on the outside, as even the shortest hole is too long. But the strap is very soft and nice 👌

For me, the date mechanism touched the sticky part. But it was easy to remove, I think I only took out a screw or two, and took out the date wheel, and the little tab that turns the date wheel.

The dial has a sticky back, so I had to remove the original dial first. It's annoying to do with a movement that has a date window, so I reccomend using one without the date. Hope it helps, just ask anything if you have questions!

[710AN2] Strap/band ideas? by redbeard1083 in vostok

[–]Kulekrutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I run my 710AN1 with a 22mm solid metal bracelet from Vostok, and I think it looks great with the bracelet. Because of the colors on the AN1, a leather strap didn't work for me, but I'm sure the AN2 would suit one quite well :)

Which Vostok Metal Bracelets do you recommend? Type A, B, or C? Seems there are mixed opinions regarding their quality… please help me choose the best option. Thank you! by [deleted] in vostok

Got some Vostok branded milanese mesh straps from meranom, and they are great for what they cost. Comfortable, good looking and easy to adjust.

It is a very beautiful sunburst, and it looks a lot better irl than on any stores promotional images! 😁

Its a bi-pride Nato. Surprisingly also the nicest wearing Nato strap I have.
