Funny you started this post Apeogre. I just fell in love with the silver/blue Gas-Limo. Seems to be an amazing watch for the price. I Sent an email to Craig at R2A to reserve one when it comes available (presently out of stock). If I may Apeogre , i would like to ask some questions too. First , if any of you know that specific model and how good are those movements? I know that they have a huge tolerance of -20 to +40 sec a day :shock: but can they be adjusted to keep good time? The gas-Limo has a Vostok caliber 2426 with a GMT function. Also as for the lume, i was thinking they were using Superluminova so i was expecting it to be good, i guess the weakness comes form the application or the grade they use .I'm looking at those Russian watches for a wile now and find them kind of exotic with their mechanical movements, and afordable too, i'm sure i wont be disapointed! Thx! Daniel Nabco, that Energia looks fantastic! hand6.gif It's on my wish list too, just don't know if i will go with Energia 1 or 2 ???

I have a Red Energia now, and it is one of my top 10 watches (out of about 150), really like the new version. As previously mentioned these are very, very good watches.....i think the +/- 30 to 40 seconds a day is way off....i can say based on experience these watches do need a break in period, way more than a swiss automatic...they do work themselves in over a month or so and can be +/- 10 seconds a day in my experience

+/- 10 seconds doesn't seem too bad. As they are self winding, and I like to rotate my watches through, I figure I will haven't to reset the time on them. Or does anyone keep their auto's and watch winders all the time? I like their Limo as well! Fantastic looking watch. Anyone have one that they can provide a review on?

The older junk winders have died and I won't bother replacing them. My top end watches are on Orbita winders. But enjoy setting my watches and all. Just wound all my hand crankers this morning. :cool: WIS joys. :)

These are the videos that made me pull the trigger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MvAv43wSS8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv4g-rD992Y I went for the silver dial with blue inner bezel. This watch just looks fantastic and the price is ridiculous IMHO at $244 USD shipped for a GMT auto !!! The only thing is that i sent an email to R2A yesterday morning and still haven't received any reply :?. I get the message that they are out of the office...Anyhow, i sent my payment today and will wait for them to respond since they are out of stock and i want to know when that beauty will be shipped :D. By the way, i used the 'TTT10' code and it worked just fine, thanks for the hint Paxman hand6.gif The discount paid for shipping!  picture taken from R2A site

Have had a Vostok-Europe K-3 Submarine model. A great "beater diver" for sure. I now have the Expedition Trophy Orange 2009 watch. Ordered it from Craig at Russia2.....great service. Beautiful watch....much for the money, but I may flip this one soon as it doesn't get any wear. (Nevertheless, I LIKE it!) As far as price, service and quality of watch, Vostok Europe is a "best buy."

I bought a K3 blue dial when they first came out and gave it away soon after. Strap felt like it was made of cardboard so I put it on a neoprene. Bit of dross. Last edited on Sun Jul 26th, 2009 04:44 pm by Ron Jr |
