@themachman19691 My sentiments exactly!

I have bought Vostok Imfibia and I say there are super watch. Sturdy, but not big or heavy, comfortable wearing. Looks very retro, but nice. I feel like macho....

I can recommend it !!!

I always heard Russian made stuff was built to last. Not the sexiest, but utilitarian. I want to try this company out.

Today, my cousin gave me the exact same watch as a little gift. Damn, I'm so proud to have one of these. I think, I'm going to by me a set of these, to be able to choose.

Hey, dreamer, all I can say to you is: try running over your Walmart watch with a car and see what happens. I have a vintage military "Wostok" and I love it.

The Vostok Amphibian was designed by people who like to drink. That is how tough the watch is.
