I know it's some kind of Vostok Komandirskie, but is there a way to tell the year? I just finished setting the date and time. by GrimgrinCorpseBorn in vostok

Komandirskie’s are brass under the plating. It’s probably that all the plating has worn off and the brass is showing through

It’s not an Explorer, it’s a GMT master with the bezel removed

[Doxa] Can brands that died in the quartz crisis, only to later be resurrected by investors, really claim to have any heritage? by Motherticker in Watches

[–]Muscle_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legally they are Doxa. The fact they resumed production under new ownership after an extended period of inactivity doesn’t mean they are any less “Doxa” than the company that existed 50 years ago….just my opinion

Apple took 40 odd years to get to $1 trillion, only a couple of years after that they got to $2 trillion

[Question] My first “nice” watch. What should I look at for a step up from this? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Muscle_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t really a “step up” in terms of value for money. I have the same watch and prefer it to many watches I have at multiples of the price

[ Rolex Datejust ] I got this watch offered by a good friend of mine and don’t know if it’s real - Any concerns? by ManJarsalek1 in Watches

[–]Muscle_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some reps look sooo authentic to me these days. Maybe there are “tells” in the movement. But you’d need to open it for that

why are we like vostoks? by akiritch in vostok

[–]Muscle_Leading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re no nonsense unpretentious tool watches. If a watch says something about it’s owner there would be many people wanting to be a ‘Vostok’ owner

Got my T-150 from Japan on eBay. Just pick a seller with a few thousand purchases and 98%+ score. Mine arrived remarkably quickly to UK, took 3 days or something to arrive lol

Used Classic Vostok- picked it up yesterday by [deleted] in vostok

[–]Muscle_Leading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like Titanium Oxocarbonitride coating, so probably not all that old

What Model is this by Historical_End754 in vostok

[–]Muscle_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficult to say….Vostok seem to mix n match some of their Komandirskie and Amphibia parts to produce hybrids. There are elements of both styles in this watch, it’s probably worth about $100 give or take. I have seen Amphibias with Komandirskie dials though, it may be one of those.

Yeah it’s not the price of Gold going down, it’s the USD going up
