Of course I love it, I have the black dial radio room. I'm a HAM operator so I added a 12 hour bezel to monitor 2 timezones. I built 3 more just like it in the 3 available color dials, took them to a HAM swap meet and sold all 3 in 10 minutes. Got build some more of those for sure.
I've got 5 Vostoks, 2 Radio Rooms, a plain Blue dial and a couple of Komandirskies submarine and KGB. I got a few of those excellent $10 AliExpress Shark Mesh straps for them. I wear them with NATO strap's too. I've never seen that beautiful green wave dial before ! Thanks 👍
That 'silver surfer'!🔥🔥🔥 Your passion for & knowledge of watches beams right through the screen. I've been trying to find a difinitive guide for Vostok cases online somewhere & here you are! Despite the comically low price, I have 💯💛 for my gold KGB Amphibian on a variety of NATOs. They just wear great, I've -gotten used to- no, grown to love the trademark quirky crown. The only problem is... Once to Vost, you can't stost. Got 3 in transit now from Ukraine. It's becoming a whole new subset collection 🤷🏼
I love your videos. I learn things that I didn't know. You have a great eye for style and the mix and match of aftermarket parts. It's a true talent. My own effort was a teal scuba dude on a round case (number unknown to me) with a metallic pepsi bezel and a shark mesh bracelet. Not super style but I enjoyed making it as you do. Peace from England Pete.✌️ 🇬🇧
@@ChillinwitWatches Thanks Pete. I got the white sailboat Vostok on order just now so I need to watch again for the white bezel. Probably Meranom. Peace from England. ✌️🇬🇧
Awesome bunch of Vostoks Pete! :-> Great mods, as you always do and have. I was going to comment on your earlier video about buying them direct from the Vostok factory, as they're cheaper than from Meranom. Extra cheaper for us Canadians, (I am legally chillin' when I watch your videos, LOL) as we get rubles into CAD dollars, not the US dollars Meranom charges. Keep your great content coming, brother, you should have far more subscribers! And your sneaker collection is pretty sick. Peace!
I've got a few Vostoks in my collection too. They are great watches to have some fun modding. Look forward to seeing the next instalment in your SOTC videos.
That's a great collection, I didn't realize how compact that 160? case with the hooded lugs is! The 710 is my favourite (I fitted a silver radio room dial with blued hands 😍 ), but I have 650 Komandirskie and 670 Amphibia too. Keep up the good work 👍
Love yer Vostok collection. I only have one, a Blue Scuba Dude (from Meranom), but also have a Vostok Scuba Dude shirt (Jody at JOMW wore one and gave me the site to get it), and a Scuba Dude Coffee Mug (Dave at Just The Watch sells them at his store)
Hi Pete. Thanks for the Vostok SOTC. Love the look on the "Restrained" 710 SE. Would be awesome if you could share the reference of the Bezel and as to where I may perhaps pick up one. Thanks
So, I have the radio room, green wave dial, and sailboat Vostoks. Great minds, perhaps? 😁 I did move them around the various cases and brushed all the lugs, though.
I really dislike that 160 case because of the horrid 18mm strap size. I'm so impressed with your bezel choices. Your black Scuba Dude looks fantastic !
Very cool collection, Pete! I've had my eye on one particular Vostok for a while (it would be first), but I just haven't pulled the trigger on it. I plan to use your "secret tip", but I don't know if I'm more scared of giving my credit card info to the "Russians", or getting my balls busted by my wife for yet another watch purchase. 🤣
I've got my 110750 radio room amphibia in front of me and my 811783 Komandirskie on my wrist. And there's a Zakaz Mo on my wishlist too, beginning to think I may have a vostok problem.
@@ChillinwitWatchesThey hit in the spot of the brain where they're substantial enough to be cool, but not enough where the "nah that's too expensive" part kicks in.
How do you like the bracelet? I don't care for the way it wears with the flat case, but it one of the best bracelets Восток makes. I prefer their OD NATO.
@@ChillinwitWatches the stock bracelet, the case is flat on the radio room, on my wrist it looks ridiculous. I put it on a Амфибия with turn down lugs and it was great. It has solid pins instead of cotter pins, and it seems solid.
@@jimmyschiel3863 gotcha, my radio room came in a 110 case which I really do not like, it's a freaking dinner plate! Lol. I moved it to the 100 which I find much more wearable. And I put some cheap president bracelet on it that is quite comfy!
@@ChillinwitWatches yeah,I like the 110 with the NATO, gives it that large and in charge military look when operating a radio room at the HAM field exercises. I'm their main electrician so I robbed an anti-magnetic caseback off a vintage Восток Амфибия.
