Can’t resist these older Vostoks!
Running well, and waiting for a re-lume and general spruce up

I agree. I currently only have one as I regretfully sold the others I had, but I'm thinking I might have to replace the ones I let go.

This will do for now 😅! Had to improvise the lume a bit. Hardener had gone ‘off’, so used clear varnish from auto touch-up pen- need to tidy it up, as it set really quickly, but it seems ok(?)🤞🏻

They just go on and on! Amazingly resilient, same jewel count as some high end Swiss offerings, and heaps of character. Almost as addictive as Seikos!😉

That's a cool Albatross you have there. I've got two 2209 powered Amphibias, one is battered and has never been serviced and ticks so loudly that I can hear it from a far! Still keeps good time.
