My Vostok arrived at last. Took more than a month but it's here. I got an aftermarket bezel and insert as well as C3 lumed hands. Quickly fitted the bezel, but will have the hands done next week... I've been wearing it the whole day and it seems to be to thick. Maybe I just have to get used it?

I am sure I'll be wearing it a lot. It's better quality than the one I bought six or seven years ago. It has a bit of a weight to it that the other ones didn't seem to have. And the crowns are all stainless too.

I am glad that Vostok has done a few small improvements over the last few years, namely the stainless steel crowns. The new OEM bezels are a nice touch too

I am thinking of buffing the case to a satin finish because I don't like the factory finish on it so much. It looks a bit too rough for my taste. Im just worried that it might not be a solid stainless steel. The older ones were brass with chrome plating if I remember correctly...

Any and all vostok amphibians should be solid steel, vintage komandierskies should be brass with a chrome plating, but i believe there are a few new komandierskies that are stainless steel now aswell.
Buff away, It's steel all the way down on this guy.
