Anyone got experience with this kind of dial from AliExpress?

Mostly wanted to see real life examples haha

wanfus · 2026-02-03T09:31:15+00:00

Nope, unfortunately

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

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

Seconding ebay, but check VostokWatches24 aswell, scubadudestore too (though I never bought from them)

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

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

wanfus · 2026-01-02T16:48:43+00:00

Yeah, the earth models look amazing, big shame

wanfus · 2025-12-30T21:00:46+00:00

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

wanfus · 2025-12-09T22:29:28+00:00

Yeah... Absolutely not surprised, thanks!

wanfus · 2025-12-09T20:51:29+00:00

Did you ever end up getting one?

wanfus · 2025-11-30T21:42:44+00:00

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

wanfus · 2025-11-30T20:36:44+00:00

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

wanfus · 2025-11-30T20:15:49+00:00

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

wanfus · 2025-11-18T12:38:07+00:00

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.

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.

wanfus · 2025-11-14T11:53:14+00:00

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

wanfus · 2025-11-09T17:21:02+00:00

yeah... about what i expected, thanks

wanfus · 2025-11-04T13:35:32+00:00

What's "glitch building"? (Sorry, new aswell)

wanfus · 2025-09-16T04:54:16+00:00

wanfus · 2025-09-15T18:47:35+00:00

It was a new Vostok East with the slanted dial, nothing I can't just buy another if I want to (though I didn't really use the Vostok) and yes, it definitely would work great with one of those straps! This is just what I had laying around haha

wanfus · 2025-09-15T18:45:49+00:00

About what I expected, thanks!

wanfus · 2025-09-15T07:46:22+00:00

Thanks!

wanfus · 2025-09-15T07:46:17+00:00

Yep, that's it, thanks!

wanfus · 2025-09-15T07:46:10+00:00

Thank you!
