Vostok KGB
This watch was bought second hand on Trademe on January 23rd 2005, for 35.00 + 3.50 p&p. Altho this is from the 80's or 90's, Vostok still make this watch. Click here for link.Here is another link to rusplus.com where the same watch is for sale link
Upon receiving this in the mail I ripped off the packaging and checked the time, it was an hour behind, and soon I found myself holding the floppiest crown I'm likely to hold.
This is apparently the common trait with Vostok, so after quickly adjusting the time it was on my wrist. the leather band was well worn, as it appears to be original.
After using it on and off for 4 days I find that it loses about 30s a day - not great but good enough for a 20 year old watch.
The movement is a caliber 2416 with 31 ruby jewels and has a date function at 3'o'clock. Its is a self winding automatic movement with a hand-wind capability and a quick set date.
The watch is shock resistant and waterproof to 30m.
