judas9r 914 Posted March 24, 2021 Just a quick post to show of an 090 case Vostok mod that I just finished. Base watch was an 090 Scuba Dude from Soviet Market £50 and a sandwich dial and paddle hands from Vostok 24 total cost £30 and the bezel was £12 from Meranom. The strap is and old ammo strap from my box of bits. I could have probably bought the stuff from the same site but I got it in dribs and drabs. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aramis2288 6,271 Posted March 24, 2021 Wow! That's a really nice mod! I was thinking of modding the amphibia, it seems to be a good starter for a beginner. Lots of good options for a very low price (comparing to e.g. Seiko skx) parts. Is that a ceramic bezel insert or polished metal? Looks kind of differently depending on the photo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are lovely to mod. Ive destroyed numerous Seikos and reps while attempting mods, but these seem indestructible and the second hand just pops on with minimal fuss. There are a couple of little quirks, but nothing that can't be solved by watching a YouTube video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
