    WR: Gremlin.... i'd take that! It's their season anyway...
    This is a nice dress watch, although i prefer the East 2403/581096 from the same factory (the "original" place to get Vostoks). Love the "Cornes de Vache" lugs (cow's horn), the offset crown at two and the Breguet style hands. All in all a lovely elegant piece, cheap to get, fun to wear, amazing to look at. What else could you ask? Oh, just don't let it get into water... you know what then!
    PS Site says clearly that case is ... dustproof! Whatever that means!!!

    • @WesWatchRoom

  • @3rdstone1
    @3rdstone1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Agree, a really beautiful retro/vintage inspired watch, and so far from what we're used to from Vostok. Really like that structure on the dial, and hands and numerals fits in so well here. I'd have to get used to that crown position, but those cool lugs makes up for it. I definitely prefer your strap instead of that generic one that came with it, even though it seems decent quality.
    And yeah, I feel for you with a 6.5" wrist myself. Too often the straps are too long with not enough holes. Sometimes you can make an additional hole yourself, but with those wide flat buckle pins it's a different story. The same has happended to me with a bracelet with not enough detractable links and too few micro adjustment positions. Lucky enough it was a strap monster which looked good on various straps.

    • @WesWatchRoom
      @WesWatchRoom  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for the comment and for watching. Yeah sometimes having a slim wrist is a real pain, especially when it comes to straps and bracelets that don't fit. But it has its plus sides like being well suited to vintage dress watches and erm that's all I can think of. Appreciate the support

    I have virtually the same just with Arabic numerals. The acrylic has tiny dimples (visible under a loupe), but the printing is quite crisp. It sometimes refuses to run when fully wound. I just give it a little whack and it starts ticking merrily away. It wears very flat, but the strap is soooo stiff, even after repeated wearing.

    • @WesWatchRoom

    I agree with about the watch, it's a really good looking piece. The fact that the watch wears comfortably is due to slim case. But I disagree about the strap. I absolutely can't stand faux croc straps (or real croc straps for different reasons).
