VOSTOK| Komandirskie Russian Army Commander Classic Military Mechanical Wrist Watch | 171 Series | Fashion | Business | Casual Men's Watches

Unfortunately the watch couldn't keep the time.

Unless you read and follow the instructions well, you will think this watch is broken. The crown is screw down but it is floppy when released and the way to wind it is so different from other watches that I wrapped the instructions with the watch to remind me this is different.To someone used to how most watches work, this will be annoying for everday wear. For the collector, who want something unique and made in Russia, this might be an option. It is a good candidate for something different.

Un relij pequeño pero con mucha historia. Interesante como primer reloj de cuerda. Ajustar el fechador es terrible pero ya me resigné a no tener la fecha correcta e ignorarla. La nato que viene es muy mala calidad, pero fácilmente consigues una de 18mm.

Very good and practical watch. Arrived in perfect condition

Arrivato puntale come previsto,cambiato subito cinturino con uno "Nato" sono 3 giorni che lo uso e funziona alla perfezione ..Inizialmente pensavo non funzionasse perché arrivato scarico..Svitato pomellino mi sono preoccupato perché molto ballerino..Ma a quanto capito è normale così.. una volta svitato si può caricare girando in senso orario e tenendo pomellino leggermente verso esterno,caricando penso perda qualche secondo..perché ogni tanto lancetta secondi si blocca ..durante la carica.. ma credo sia normale ..Mantiene l'ora da 3 giorni e non ha perso un minuto.. caricato ogni 24 ore circa. Se continua così direi che è perfetto!!

So I just received the watch today. For the price of $50 I'm extremely pleased. The quality/price ratio is very high in my opinion and that's why I'm giving it 5 out or 5. There's a lot of value out this mechanical watch at this price.If it's like my other Vostok it'll be pretty rugged & keep decent time. I have an older Vostok that's at least 12 or 13 years old it still keeps good time after being neglected for the better part of a decade.Don't expect Rolex quality materials for $50. It's more like the Timex of Russia except that Vostok still makes watches in Russia. Plus you get cold ward kitsch.Some observations:- The lume on this is quite good in comparison to my other Vostok - perhaps that's because it's new.- It has a quick date set feature when you go past 12 to set the date you can back up to 8 then go past 12 again to go to the next day. That's nice.- Date changes at instantly midnight - a nice feature.- I'm pretty sure it has acrylic crystal but that's OK as scratches can be buffed out.- I'm not sure what the strap is made out of, feels like pleather to me but it's comfortable and suits the watch.- The crown is screw down.- Bezel rotates in both directions.- The semi-domed crystal can caused distortion depending on the viewing angle but it's clear when viewed straight on- The dial is clearly printed and lettering is sharp- I don't have a tool actually measure but it appears to me that second hand is running at 3hz (6 ticks/sec).- The specs say 40mm but I've got two different calipers that measure 39mm.It's shipped from Russia and took about a month. It came with Russian chocolate which is very good.I would highly recommend for someone looking to get a mechanical watch that's got a bit of history and doesn't cost too much.4/21/17 - update: So I've had this watch for a few months and I do like this watch. It does keep pretty good time but sometimes I neglect to wind it so it's hard to compare against time.gov. It's been fairly durable with the exception of the buckle which I got caught on an edge and the spring bar popped out. That could probably could be a better metal. I've put a v rubber strap with a locking clasp on it so that won't happen again.My only 'complaint' is that it wears small - most of my other watches are 42mm or greater. But I don't think you can go wrong with this.

Die Uhr an sich ist super! Doch das Auswahlkriterium ist auf diese Uhr gefallen weil in der produktebeschriebung „ Edelstahl Gehäuse“ steht. Und als die Uhr ankam musste ich feststellen das es verchromt ist.
