Good to see some more non Swiss and non Japanese being represented. Hope it finds plenty of time on your wrist.

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.

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. |

I buffed the Vostok case and decided to polish it instead of doing the satin finish. And I am super happy with how it came out.
