judas9r 913 Posted September 23, 2020 Vostok are like genital warts. Some of us have them, but we're not really sharing them with the forum. Are there enough undercover Boctok fans to warrant a subforum next to seiko? Never ending hairless wristies anyone? They are a bit shit, but its a £50, gen, diver with real hertage. Plus, there's some lovely vintage pieces floating around and I bet theres some serious modding quietly going on out there. Here's my 420 Scuba Dude with brushed case and bezel with the addition of a gen mesh strap. I'm not really expecting a sub forum, it was just a clickbait excuse for a vostok wristie, but it's an idea. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BravoDelta 22,444 Posted September 23, 2020 I am currently Vostok-free. However, I have a running saved search on eBay for the right one. These, to me, run from very hideous to very cool. Yours is very cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted September 23, 2020 Vostok really hit the spot where butt ugly turns to cool. Never had one, probably never will, but the first paragraph made me piss my undies a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I clicked on this post and 2. I clicked on the ebay link. Now I want a "Scuba Dude"... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
