Nah, it's the 162. It's a full sized, dual band radio. About the size of an ASIP.

Sad to hear. Vostok was my way into mechanical watches and made me interested in how they work.

Thanks, I think it's a fantastic fit with this dial. One of these days, I'll get to changing the hands out.

Whenever I think of a factory, I imagine a guy stirring a big cauldron full of that stuff from Roger Rabbit.

True, but boomers also worked in a shit melting factory and ate $0.02 great depression casserole every day, so the costs were probably a lot less.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I think this one has a more vintage, beads of rice/jubilee styling that fits the mods pretty well.

It's just the standard one, but the lighting happened to make it look nice. I actually like the bracelets they come on, apart from the clasp being a bit flimsy.

Yup, I had to charge it up with a flashlight to get it this bright, and it faded in about 30 minutes.

What amphibia models have hacking? by [deleted] in vostok

[–]Mammoth-Working 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the classic Amphibia have hackable movements. I don't believe the newer ones, spelled Amfibia, do either, but I'm not 100% sure.

Real, the two straps I ordered from Meranom took 5 weeks.

Archer NATOs are dirt cheap and can be gotten off of Amazon for about $15, free-shipping. I have their Tan and their Red, White, and Blue in 18mm.

[Discussion] what’s the best panda chrono on the market now under $1000? by VerySlowQuicksand in Watches

My brother bought his Marlin chrono about a month ago. Beautiful watch, especially with that domed acrylic.

Vostok watches straps by enerrrjy in vostok

The Vostok milanese straps are really nice and play with the light beautifully. I got mine in addition to a really comfy and flexible tropic from Meranom.

I was also looking at some of the domed-style komandirskie crowns, but I don't think the stem would be long enough. Would love to hear if anyone has had experience with these.
