Where is best to buy a Vostok?

[Tam]

Apologies, I'm sure this came up a few months ago, but I can't make the search work.

I'm after a Vostok diver, the one with the scuba diver on the face and no numbers - like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMPHIBIA-200m-VOSTOK-AUT...

However, I'm not sure where is best to buy - so can anyone recommend any good ebay dealers? I've tried a simple google, but lots of sites are Russian, which is a bit beyond me.

thanks
Tam

Try Kampmann he's well thought of.

I did see yours, but I want one without the bits over the lugs to make them hidden (if that makes sense)

I have the 'ministry' version of that (same dial, but a bigger case), that could possibly be removed from my possession in exchange for beer tokens.

I got mine from http://www.russia4u.co.uk/index.php
Delivery took less than a week, posted from within the UK, but the watch was in a Russian box with Russian instructions.




Edited for better link.

Any chance you could post a pic?

[LukeBird]

I could, but sorry, I just noticed you wanted the dial without numbers. Sorry

Russia4u use to be up Mansfield rd, Nottingham near the dodgy end!

How accurate is the 2416b automatic movement in the Vostok?

Also are the 200m waterproof ones really up to recreational scuba?

I've no idea what movement mine is but it keeps good time. It's not a sophisticated watch by any means. Think of it as a Lada Niva or T34 tank. It does a job at a good price and you suspect it will go on doing it for a long time. Can't help on the scuba'ing I'm afraid.
