Should I buy it? It’s a Vostok Komandirskie
It seems original and in good condition to me. Should I buy it? And are there any other Vostok Komandirskie models you’d recommend?

My small collections... What other Russian watches would you recommend?
My little collection. I discovered Russian watches by chance, and now I love them. For now, I have a Raketa Big Zero, a Raketa Copernicus (with the HP movement), a Vostok Amphibia 'Scuba Dude', and of course, the limited edition Luna Dude (gorgeous!!!). They are all stunning. Now I'd love to get a first-series Sturmanskie, which is the same model sent into space (but they cost a fortune or are fakes...), and a Raketa Big Zero with a Cyrillic dial. What other Russian watches would you recommend? Tell me the story behind!!

Raketa Copernik Kopernik
I bought a Raketa Copernicus on eBay. It hasn't arrived yet, and it’s not in mint condition, but the mechanics look like the correct HP movement, and the rest of the details seem original. The golden hour sub-dial has the correct horizontal textured lines, and the branding uses the right font. Personally, I prefer a genuine, authentic piece over a cosmetically perfect one that turns out to be a Frankenwatch or, worse, a fake...What do you guys think? :-D

Sturmanskie went to space...
Can anyone show me real pictures of a Sturmanskie 1st Series (15 Jewels / 15 камней), powered by the 1MChZ Kirova / Pobeda 2602 caliber? This is the exact model that went to space with Yuri Gagarin.
Or do you know any reliable links where I can study the details to try and find a real one? If you happen to find any authentic examples, please share them. Also, are there several modern versions or commemorative replicas floating around that I should watch out for? Thank you all so much for the help! I have to say, the more I discover about the history behind these Russian watches, the more I desperately want them... It's becoming a real addiction! 😂

Big Zero real or fake?
Big Zero: real or fake? The strap is new, but the movement, caseback, and hands are authentic. But is the dial original? Thank you!
