Yeah, I don't know how the sanctions affected their watch industry. I ordered my last Vostok just after the war started, because I wanted to get one while they were still available, or before the prices got too high.I am still in doubt over getting one. I see the "normal" prices from Russian vendors are as low as 80 dollars. Looking at their webstores, they seem to imply you can still order, but that seems very odd to me, given the sanctions against Russia.
Prices are falling. Check out Chrono24 and search for Neovintage reference 14270 Rolex Explorer.I keep telling myself that the Explorer is not for me, but... Alas, it's far out of my price range and I don't want a 3-6-9 homage watch. Perhaps a Tudor BB36.
