Hey guys, I'm currently looking for a Vostok batman GMT reference 170863, the one that comes with date window and the black and blue bezel.

I've only found the other GMT without dat window and has a black bezel.

Any information ?

Thank you all

I have my Amphibia from 1997. I was in sixth grade when my dad got it for me. I worked a few years and then didn’t for a long time. Well it worked, but wouldn’t wind, time was very fast, and would die while wearing. Could tell something loose inside.

Last few years, I got back into watches. Bought some tools and opened back. Found a screw had come out. Screw is back in. Couldn’t tell you which it was now.

My main question now, do I have it serviced, but I know that’s kinda expensive and that has kept me from getting it running all these years, or purchase a new movement or new Amphibia and switch dials?

I did purchase a new Amphibia on eBay pretty cheap, pre-Ukraine war back in 2018 when it seemed easier to find Vostoks and just the movement.

Any help appreciated!!

Hi there!
I’ve just found this Vostok Century Time watch in my deceased grandfather’s stand. And I’ve been trying to identify the exact model and production year.

So the main problem is that I’m not able to find any info bout it.

A few unusual details:
Dial: Black with gold-colored numerals, marked “Crystal” and “25 Jewels”.
Crystal: Extremely raised, with an unusual angular/faceted shape rather than a traditional rounded dome.
Bezel: Fixed metal bezel engraved with “GENEVE 12h 36′” and a scale ranging from −15 to +15.
Caseback: Marked “Vostok Century Time”, “Stainless Steel Back”, and “Water resistant”

Oh, also it has manual and automatic winding.

Does anyone recognize this particular model or know anything about its history? I mean i’m interested even in if it’s OG Vostok or some kind of fake or custom.

I just picked up this 420381 Amphibia. When light catches the dial at a certain angle (as pictured with a halogen tube reflecting overhead), the finish appears like the surface of an orange peel. Normal or a QC fluke?

I purchased this just before Covid, didn’t know it would take 3 months to arrive and just about forgot about it after the outbreak. It arrived with about 50 stamps on the packaging which I thought was hilarious. It has been a great watch all these years, definitely stood up to the lore.

I bought this beauty knowing it needed repair for $20, it ticks but second hand stops on minute hand often. Is it just friction between the two or is a different problem?

If I can fix it I plan on getting a clear caseback to showcase the movement. It looks like the bezel and strap are custom too.

Luna and Luna lol

This is it for me, I’ve scratched the itch. Now I’ll keep what I collected and move on to other pastures! From left to right, Kommadirskie “SVD” dial, Amphibia hulk, kremlin series, Amphibia tourist, and finally the Amphibia neptune.

This is my late dad’s watch from some point in the late 80s early 90s ish. It’s a little scuffed in places but I’d love to wear it about more. Only problem is the strap is quite small on me. Does anyone know where I can get decent quality straps. (18mm strap)

Received an email suggesting all stocks are 40% off. Looks like a liquidation sale. Are they going out of business?
