To me, a very cool watch!
Hi,
My trusty old Timex electric died so I ordered a manual Vostok Komandirskie Paratrooper watch. I kind of understand there is a bit of a cult following of these watches. Anyone here have any opinions on them?
Now you need a ushanka.Hi,
It was cheaper than a new Timex analog watch.
I figured I got a couple Russian/Soviet rifles, a Russian shotgun, and a Russian dog. So owning a Russian watch seems like the next step.
Hi,I ordered a GMT in OCT........nothing has arrived......got a refund. That was the end of me buying stuff from Russia. I was reluctant and kind of knew it would NOT work. Glycine fixed my need
Ha, I could use one of those up in the far norf of Minnesota! But my Filson packer hat wouldn't stand for it.Now you need a ushanka.
That is sad. Mine arrived in decent enough time, about 4 weeks. Sad to say, I have now fallen prey to an Amphibia I now have on order. I hope to get it in the proper time.
Who do you use? I am interested in possibly getting a watch. ThanksI have gotten three of these watches now, two Amphibias, which seems like the natural progression. Each from Russia. I am guessing each could have been from a different seller. No problems with delivery at all.

Thank you!Sure. I do not think it violates any B&B posting rules as these are not particular auctions and these sellers seem to sell via buy it now, not auctions. I cannot figure out when I got the manual Komandirskie. That was a while ago. The two automatic Komandirskies, which I assume are Amphibias came from ebay sellers clockfasestore and enerjystore, respectively. Both seem to have pretty good, but not absolutely flawless, feedback. I do not know if 020716 is the model number of the one I liked best or not. But it was white-faced with red star, 12 hour, not 24, metal bracelet, and I did not replace the bezel or bracelet as they both seemed after market quality.
My pleasure. Good luck! I have been really happy with these watches. I think they look pretty good.Thank you!
