Vostok Amphibian 420640 Genuine Russian Military Divers Watch Auto Self-Winding Wrist Watch

Fantastic watch and product from all aspects.It definitely stands out and it is in the same time a true retro, military, diving, classic, robust, quality and an elegant watch.Would always choose over any fancy brand.Great option as a gift!Will buy other other types of Amphibia to start my collection...Thanks for the experience!A.R.

Nothing negative for the price. I bought it directly from the factory rather than through the Amazon site but it comes from Chistopol City either way.It keeps surprisingly good time. I adjust it about once a fortnight.The winder/date change takes a bit of fiddling but it's ok once you get the hang of it.I decided to get a cheap watch for beach holidays and this is it.In the unlikely event it gets damaged it's not the end of the world. I'd just buy another.The bezel should be kept oiled if using it in water as it rusts the day after you wet it.I had to loosen mine with some swan-neck pliers. Oiled it and it has been fine ever since as long as I oil after wetting. Same with the crown. A tiny dab of oil as you don't want it to reach any seals.I changed the metal strap for a NATO one. The metal one isn't particularly good and I don't like metal straps anyway.The glass is old style perspex but can be kept scratch free with Polywatch plastic polish.Service every 10 years - that is recommended. I won't be bothering. Any mechanical problems. I'll get another.I have several expensive Swiss watches but should the four horsemen arrive I'll ditch them all in favour of this rugged beast.
