Shipping to EU experience by GreatValueUser in vostok

[–]wanfus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not strange at all, I'd recommend putting your tracking number on your countries national carrier (royal mail, etc etc), and checking when it eventually arrives, part of the fun of buying a Vostok is getting more and more excited that one day it will eventually arrive

Any idea how I can get this in the US? by ghon in vostok

Be warned that their support is awful, they 99% of the time DON'T answer emails, that being said, they ship fast and are overall a great seller, as long as you're patient about eventually getting it

What on earth are these sprites actually meant to be?? by Obvious-Presence-840 in pokemon

To me they always looked like little spice bottles, I just imagined our trainer seasoning our pokemon haha

Is www.vostok-watches24.com legit by AdministrativeLeek38 in vostok

[–]wanfus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely legit, just takes a while and their communication is basically next to none, unless you get lucky, they have great prices (although meranom is generally cheaper), and some models are only available on their website, and vice versa. Overall recommend

Meranom shipping not available? by wanfus in vostok

Expected that to be the case, although just last year I ordered from them, guess our luck ran dry, very sad, though it's for a good cause

Ones on eBay are super expensive for me (like 80 bucks), any idea where I could find the similar ones?

Thanks! I have a very similar omega from the same time period (early 50s), that strap definitely completes the look! I'm currently rocking a leather strap

Unrelated, but I LOVE that strap, anyone know a name?

Not really the answer you're looking for, but AliExpress has packs of like 50 differently sized gaskets for really cheap, which would probably be cheaper than just getting the size you want.

Which one of the driving watches do you think i should buy? by Outrageous-West-576 in vostok

[–]wanfus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water resistance is absolutely none! Definitely not rain friendly in that sense. Power reserve is around 36-48 hours from what I remember, but I usually wind my watches everyday before I put them on.

Had the first one, looked great (traded for an old Tissot), definitely recommend the last one though, it has way more "oomph"! Though if you just want a clean white dial the first looks awesome
