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
