A couple of weeks ago I saw the new Vostok 1967 Amphibia over on WUS.  As soon I as I saw it I knew I needed one!  It came today in record time from Moscow, and man am I impressed.  It was way more expensive than the standard Vostok, but IMHO head and shoulders above the regular Amphibia.  Totally massive case and a well constructed solid link bracelet, to me it screams "Russian" :D

I won't have time tonight or tomorrow to size it, so I'll post some wrist shots on Monday.  Here's a stock shot from Smirs for now, but the pic does not do this chunk o' diver any justice!

I saw some of those watches last summer in Russia. They were quite impressive. And, some were big too.

It is a monster, no doubt about it!  I compared it next to my Formex and it is comparable in size.  It is a limited editiion too, only 1967 made of each model.  120 click bezel, non-hacking, handwindable, signed screw down crown, and no date.  That is the one thing that always drove me crazy about my Russians, the "quick set date" that takes forever to set.  I can't wait to get it sized :D

Cheers,
Griff

I like it - the bracelet looks like the tracks on a tank!

Where did you get it from??

I got it from Smirs.com, they are the only ones I know of that have these LE Vostoks.  Free shipping too hand6.gif  The bracelet does look like tank tracks, I didn't think of that!

I'll be sizing it tomorrow, can't wait to wear it!

Cheers,
Griff
