Love it...and the fact it has no date is a plus...I get sick of setting them and stopped completely on Vostok and Poljot because of the date set problem!

That's the first Vostok in a long, LONG time that I want after seeing a tiny pic. Can't wait for your real pics... they just may sway me enough to place my order!

I meant to get some pics today, it was the day from he--  I just got a chance to size it yesterday, quick and easy for a perfect fit. The bracelet is truly massive, nothing like any Vostok I have ever had. The only way you know it is one is from the typical floppy crown, though it screws in quite well. I set and wound it yesterday, running well within 10 sec/day though I am not totally sure as it doesn't hack. The dial is such a deep blue, depending on your angle it looks black, sometimes purple, but in full sunlight an awesome navy color. The markers are all outlined/applied as well, not the standard Vostok dial. I hear on the WUS Russian forum that the lume actually lasts longer than 5 minutes too hand6.gif Tomorrow, I gotta take pics tomorrow! Cheers, Griff

Finally! My pics don't do the dial color justice, or how massive this watch is hand6.gif   Cheers, Griff

Love it! That may have worked it's way onto my "short" list! How's the bezel? Is it hard at all to grip?

Griff the case just looks massive.  I don't suppose you could be convinced to grab a caseback shot? That's a great looking Russian diver. The bracelet looks great too. You surely must be loving it!!

Thanks guys! Man, this is one hunk of steel, and the bracelet balances it out perfectly. When I first saw the 2 models, black dial on rubber and blue on steel, the bracelet was what grabbed me, and the blue dial's large Arabics, very Russian IMHO. Vostok isn't known for it's high quality bracelets but I figured I would take the risk and if it wasn't up to snuff then I was going to replace it with a Watchadoo or mesh. No worries there, all solid links, solid end links and built like the tank treads that it looks like! Super comfortable, and it ain't no lightweight. No wrist fatigue at all, unlike a couple of others I have that can be painful to wear too long. The bezel is about as smooth as any I have ever had, very Seiko like in action. I don't know if you could easily turn it with gloves, but it isn't stiff or sloppy at all. I didn't know it had a domed crystal before I bought it, definitely a plus! Expensive for a Vostok, yes, worth it, absolutely! Cheers, Griff
