 Well I'm not certain if your are trying to be obtuse as you could easily drop a picture or a link to whatever it is that had caught your eye and you would get a number of opinions. As it is you seem to be talking of Vostok Europe watches as seen on R2A.com and again that leaves a large sampling. You mentioned their divers and I am only aware of one model which has a WR of 200m.

So in answer to the question in the broad generalities it was posed in I would say the Russian watches are less expensive because they are Russian.;)

My experience with the VE watches has been good and I own a Expedition 2006 and have owned the K3. The movements were non-hacking, reliable and fairly accurate thought he lack of a true quickset date is somewhat bothersome. Fit and finish were very good. Nice dial work. Lume was perhaps a little weak. That's my experience with the VEs.toon1.gif

 

BTW, I drove by an R8 Friday. Looked bitchin'.yourock.gif
