Just bought a bunch spares from Vostok 24. Not only the prices went up for watches, but slowly creeping up for spares too.
Got a few spare movements (same price), few dials and hands.
Bezels have gone up to 24+.
Although i love it on a NATO, even more on this tan horween, i just ordered a super o boyer from strap code.
Greetings.
Waiting on delivery for my 17 pro, and i wanna use my current (old) 13 pro as a motorbike phone (no sim).
Basically itll serve as a sat nav device and music through helmet.
It’ll live in a quadlock case and will be wirelessly charged off the bike.
Ill be copying the 13 into the 17, deleting unnecessary apps, bit my question is what do i do with the accounts? I have only one and will use it on the new one.

Staying on perlon until it’s cooler!
This bad boy is staying on perlon till autumn.
Genuinely wow.
This Alpinist is gonna round up my collection for a while whilst i save up some dosh for my grail (BB58).
Ever since i tried it on few months ago i had to have it, and it does not disappoint.
Not Hamilton accuracy of course but i can live with that.
Got a Murph on it’s way for my birthday.
Couldn’t live without ordering the Alpinist as well though. It has been playing tricks on me ever since i tried it on. Kept telling myself 4 Seikos is enough, but really what’s a Seiko collection without an Alpinist!
There is no better dial on the market for that price range, even the Presage was underwhelming for me. Closest to that would have been a Hydroconquest, but that’s next year.
Ill live with position variance and inaccuracy and put up with it as i do with my other Seikos, that’s what my Hamiltons are for (all running COSC from the box). There is defo something charming about this thick fecker.
So am avid Casio/Vostok/Seiko/Hamilton fan and slowly saving up for my grail - Tudor BB58.
Meanwhile am toying with the idea of trying one the micrbrands. Mostly like field and diver watches, and i have come across Farer (pilot series), but mainly interested in Baltic and Traska.
They both use the same Miyota movements and i am aware of the hardened coating of the Traska - being more tooly than the Baltic.
I have a 6.75 wrist (17 cm)
Am considering the Traska Summiteer 36 or 38, Baltic Aquascaphe classic, and Baltic Hermetique
Could i have some feedback on those please? From my research am under the impression Traska edges over Baltic slightly with reliability but i have never seen either in the flesh.
Any feedback appreciated on those, especially whether the Summiteer 36 wears smaller or larger than it. (I have an SRPG35, KFM 38 and Murph 38 - they fit perfect).
I have over 10 vostoks, 4 amphibias, Komandirskies and around 10 vintages. I love my quirky vostoks, i also have an emotional connection with them as i was born in the USSR with both russian and ukranian blood.
Over the last few months, the prices of Vostoks though have skyrocketed. If you notice Meranom, Vostok 24. - ones i use mostly, poljot24.de as well, they are edging on Seiko 5/lower end of prospex. Manual wound Kom went double, 30 euros to 60. Modded amphs are 150-220 easy. Anything is sapphire is in the 500 mark.
All that with horrible positional variance, poor qc etc - bit we know what we sign ups for.
I stocked up on some new movements (same price), fresh dials (went up in price) and will no longer acquire any new vostoks.
This thing looks awesome on anything!
