I think you were bowling with your watch on.

Any updates, @Price ? Warranty? Replace? Repair?

Actually, no. It's sitting in the box, I haven't even started looking into it yet.

Ah, okay. Shame to have happened to such a nice watch! Saw this last week and was curious how/if things got sorted.

I'll let you guys know how it goes when I do get around to having it fixed.

In the meantime, are you using a sundial?

They are the NA distributor and can hook you up to a service partner in CA probably, and as stated earlier if it is 3 yrs time for a service anyway

First time I set a Vostok, the wobbly crown made me believe I was in that exact same boat ... Luckily that's just the way Vostoks are.

It's a Russian watch. If it's made anything like the way they make their tanks, just bang the pin back in with a hammer and you should be fine until the next time you have to bang it back in with a hammer, and so forth.

No- Vostoks have a wobbly crown on purpose; they're not loose at all.

Well, they ARE loose, but made to be that way to prevent damage like OP's.

For $70-ish, Vostoks are a spectacular value. (Don't hammer any crown/pin on one. Save that beating for a cranky Mosin-Nagant).

You're a good man, Dave. I forgot you were such a watchmeister. I'll start with the distributor. Thanks!

He was trying to milk one so he could have a unique ink to put in his fountain pen.

I believe Watchbuys has partnered with RGM Watches in Lancaster PA for service on Sinn watches. RGM do excellent work and also produce a fine line of watches.

Good luck with your U1!

The enginering behind them is incredible. The 200m rating is very, very conservative. Recently someone tested (videos on youtube) how much pressure you can force upon a Vostok Amphibia before it breaks. Somewhere around 70bar (700m) the caseback begun deforming, but it was around 82bar (820m) it finially let water in when the crystal collapsed.
