So, I've been looking around at some watches and found Vostok Europe. I looked around on several forums and couldn't find a lot of information about them. Apparently they are rather reliable, think ak-47 of the automatic movement world. Any word on their metal bracelets? solid? hollow? Any opinions? thanks!

Haven't had one on a bracelet but I have had two of their models and sold one off. I have been very pleased with the long term performance of my remaining VE Expedition 2006. Solid automatic Russians at a reasonable price.

I own several V-Es, probably around 15 of them.  They are very reliable, the movements are excellent....the interesting thing is the bracelets go from excellent to good...for example the bracelets on the Energia anf the Arktika are some of the best I've ever seen, screwed in links, heavy, etc. on the other hand the bracelet on the Maxim Gorky is a little lighter weight, no screws, etc., i wouldn't say it is a bad bracelet, just not as good as the other two....

All in all the V-Es are a great value for some really unique watches.  I will be buying another Energia within the next couple weeks.

They use to sell them on the old SAH (shop at home) network and ShopNBC has sold some too. But here is another good place and a place to drool over many Russian watches. :cool:

How do they look at night? Got any photos of the glow? I work a lot at night. So I like to have my watches readable.

This site is one of the best places to buy a Ruski. Craig is a pleasure to work with and the prices can't be beat.hand6.gifhand6.gif

Always good to hear good reviews of sites. Tough to know who's good and reliable.

Nice watches but lacking in the lume department.

Purchased some from SAH and most from R2A, Craig is one of the best guys in this industry to work with....also I think 3T members get a 10% discount....just send him an email, hewill respond immediatly.

Agree on the lume....almost non existent...the Energia is not bad for a few minutes but then fades
