Truth
Haaa that’s totally me
Thank you for being knowledgeable about the crown wobble.
So many people don't know that's intentional.
It's engineered to be floppy ,
So if you accidentally hit it,
you don't compromise the water tightness.
I've been wearing 2 USSR made watches I bought around 1989 recently.these were sold in the UK branded as sekonda but are actually poljot watches,one is hand wound the other automatic,both 25 jewels.both still work perfectly and are over 30 years old now so i would say USSR made watches were decent quality.
Cool timepiece. Every collection needs a vostok.
This komindeerskee is made just like an amphibia. Real komindeerskee are hand wind only and 30 meters wr. This red one is made with a Vostok amphibia case and movement so it's automatic. There's a few more colors called komindeerskee but they are basically the same as amphibias.
True but the it seems the question came for better wr komindeerskee’s because the amphora dails got boring and people wanted more choice. For me they should do a better lume and I would be happy to pay 20$ more.
And yes I love these things
Amphibian Komander ;P
This is another daily grind watch that I’ve seen in so many cool looks, that red looks really nice. “Meranom Watches” carries a ton of cool Vostok’s and at bargain. Theirs really only a couple red dialed watches I’d grab and this is one for sure . Thanks for the review & your work RR. Your take on timepieces and the great looks is the go to spot!
If you are getting a Russian watch it may as well be red
I bought this exact model from Meranom last year. It's great. I swapped out the bracelet for a red NATO strap.
Open the watch up and you will find a gasket about 20 times thicker than a normal watch since only the lockdown ring only turns when taking the case back off and on, not the actual case back which on a regular watch stretches and tears the gasket while doing so. This watch has a true compressor case, also with the thick acrylic crystal, the deeper you go underwater, the pressure pushes the crystal and the case back into the case making it even more waterproof. The design of this watch was brilliant and they did it from the ground up, not wanting to "borrow and designs from Swiss Watches for patent battles. Service intervals for this watch is 10 years.
I have a different Komandirskie but the same movement. Mine has been running +10. Definitely worth the $78 I paid for it.
The yellow no date version of that watch is amazing
Common - dir - skia 👍🥂 Just received a 150367 from Chistopol City. They shipped in 6 hrs. & It arrived in 12 Days. Fun Watch.
merenom is the best.
@@NICHOLSON7777 Meranom website States these Watches can be purchased here
Vostok Watch Makers Inc - ChistopolCity
chistopolcity.com/3_vostok-watch-makers-inc
So I'm guessing That's where they come from in the first place. Heard good things about Meranom but if they're out of something they direct you to the above-mentioned. Lol 👍 Chistopol City......🥂
Very nice watch, I will ad a vostok to my collection soon. Right now I have an islander on my radar, as well as an orient Kamasu. Then I think will get a vostok.
I bought the no date version of this. Wish I got it with a mesh bracelet. Looks great.
That's a great looking Vostok, I agree it doesn't need modding at all, I've got the bug for them now my self, I got one of the scuba dude ones with the sea blue face and I put a Pepsi bezel on it, it looks great. They're so easy to regulate as well, mines running 5+ seconds a day. I can see me getting one of these.
Use gravity to help you winding it, you don't need to pull the crown towards outside, just do it with the crown at six ó clock, much easier.
I have this exact watch. I saw it on someone else's watch channel and had to order it. It took a while to get it from Russia. I put a knurled bezel on it along with a red insert to match. I do have an aftermarket bracelet on it but I like that one in your video. I guess I'm hunting for a good moderately priced mesh bracelet now.
I saw that on eBay last week and I’m about to purchase it and now you’ve put this up 😀
That's Nice!!Everybody should make red dials
From Malaysia
Soo beautiful watch
I love Red color watch
That watch looks great. I've come so close to buying that exact one but just haven't pulled the trigger.
Man.. Thats the best looking watch you have featured in a month! Nice pic..
Love the Ken Surfs channel. He's got some decent watch content too. He's a big Seiko lover. Does some mods too.
Just ordered mine from ebay! I wonder how rare these red ones become in a couple of years..
That steel tone mesh strap is like designed for the watch. Very cool combo. Thank you!
Kind of a cool piece man. Thanks.
Love my scuba dude, this red one really pops!
That strap really works well with the watch.
Beautiful watch 👍
I have to admit, I disliked some of your vids in the past, because I had the opinion you were sort of biased, yet this review changed my mind completely. I even ordered the same strap for mine (ordered the same as you have about 3 weeks ago), that you have equipped the watch with in your video, because it is such a great combination. (Cancelled the order fo a different star mesh I wanted to order from Ali Express for this)
Could you please share where you found the strap in video?
The lume don’t look half bad too me,wonder how long it lasts ?
That’s a really nice red! Wow. I like it.
I recently picked up a K 350503. A great Field/Fleiger combo type watch. Same case and movement. I am really enjoying it.
Who in the world is capable of convincing me to buy a red watch...RR.
For example me. I like it, I own it too. And I have got yellow version too.
@@frantisekdaniel1987 I've got the red and yellow models too. I did switch the red bezel out for a black bezel.
where did u get the bezel from? what size is it?
Now I have to buy a new Vostok. What color? Red, green black or bright lime yellow? All?
I like the 2416b movement more than the 2415 one. It seems like my cheaper kommandirskir is losing several seconds a day.
I have an amphibia, and a beater kommandirskie. Any info on the clearance between the crystal and the dial? I'm thinking about nodding one to have a sterile or custom dial one day.
Great looking Vostok!
I really dig my “scuba dude” Vostok Amphibian 420 case.
Looks very cool.
Holy hell that snap zoom on your camera is sick
One off the better looking Vostoks!
Have 2 Kommanderskies and the Red Sea, the Amphibia and the Amphibian. The Red Sea is beautiful but very heavy, but the Amphibian is by far my favourite Vostok and the variety in Amphibia especially scuba dude ones as a bug draw.
As far as accuracy it can be adjusted best by a jeweler with the electronic caliber !
I love it
Seriously, why don't more watches use that caseback/gasket system? It makes so much more sense!
The designers patented it. They in turn came up with it so as to be able to make watches without paying western patent royalties.
wow what a strange watch! cool!
Great tip on the date setting from 9 to 12!... I just bought a vintage Komandirskie and spent a ton of time winding it through 25 days to set the date correctly, lol.
Hey man great vid, but I've come across a k34 komandirskie, cheap watch that doesn't look the part, might order it..
Will you get this one serviced when it starts acting up? It would be interesting to hear what a watchmaker would say.
You can regulate it yourself. It will maybe need a service in 10 years.
It's a somewhat fancier amphibia. That's it. Otherwise, no difference to speak of.
Exactly. It's basically an amphibia with komindirski written on it and a ss crown. Actual komindirskis are much worse quality. Hand wind only, 30m of wr.
@@troynasello2085 yes. Does their movement seem to be less accurate?
I think it is pronounced like “Common Dirk Ski”
I just gotone of the Special Edition ones... Amfibia that is. Its very cool but its very far from flawles. Mainly the lugs are veeery sharp... I'm afraid to put elastic strap on it... It might cut it 😆 Anyways these are cool just some QC issues I guess. Kinda acceptable g
For the price (but then you remembere there Seikos for around 100 USD or less...)
@randomrob What kind of Spring Bars are you using? I have the same watch in yellow and same kind of H-Link mesh bracelet but the spring bars are not thick enough and looks weak!
No clue, so many watched come and go I end up with spares.
Never turn the hands backwards on an automatic watch..that date setting hack will break your watch.
Vostok themselves recommend you change the date this way, the RU manual for the watch states this.
Ciao , quale é il suo lug tò lug ?
I love kensurfs!
I just ordered this from Kazakhstan. I'm assuming it'll take some time to come to India. They've said it'll arrive early April. Today is 24th Jan. Along with it I ordered another black Kommanderskie and a Amphibia Scooba Dude.
It arrived and it's AWESOME. I absolutely LOVE it.
Found the bracelet as well. Now my watch is a copy (homage if you will) of yours 😂
Cool Russian nuclear lume...I love it😂
More like 1 1/2 to 2 month if U buy from V/B .
That is a «shark mesh» AND THE OTHERS AREN’T - the other ones you refer to aren’t - they are something else that was forced upon the market by deceit (Chinese deceit by criminal monopoly, it appears). A quick way to identify the «shark» mesh and separate it from the Chinese hamster very crappy stiff mesh is this: the REAL ‘shark mesh’ watch bracelet is COMPLETELY LOOSELY KNIT. LAY IT FLAT. AND IF IT LAYS DOWN FLAT, BENDS SHARPLY, CASE ALL THE WAY DOWN, then that is it. If anyone knows anyone who sells it, I want to know.
That 8\12\8 method of rapid date changing is actually bad for the watch mechanism.
Everyone says they get there for like 80 bucks. I can only find them for 130 plus 30 delivery :/
Back and forth, back and forth...exactly the way you should do if you want to set quickly the date and break the movement
Hasn’t broke yet. Everyone seems scared
Sad day today
Is the bezel plastic?
No. SS
You didn't showed the original bracelet the watch came with??? Please atleast you should have shown us how it looks with it's original bracelet or strap.
You wouldn't even consider using the original bracelet. Hollow polished metal. I immediately removed them on each arrival of my amphibias which I have both modded with seiko skx bezels. But the watches itself are accurate and looks fantastic especially if you brush finish the case if they come polished.
Russian nuclear lure! :)
If a reputable company or a decent microbrand would make this exact watch (with a laughably horrible bracelet it comes with) and deliver it to customers in the same manner - several weeks or a couple of months...
For example, can you imagine giving this a positive review if it had Seiko brand on it?
Whatever.... spend your couch fold loose change on garbage, hoping to impress your friends with a "cold war trophy" ))))
p.s. I was born and grew up in USSR 1968-1992. Did my required military service in the Soviet Army 1986-1988. Never seen any Vostoks while I was in the Army. Russians think of these watches as garbage. The exact way Russians look at ALL consumer products made in USSR - cars, TVs, vaccum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, clothes, shoes, etc. They were all garbage.

So what your saying is, it’s awesome?!!!
@@oldfashionedsportsmanchave4590
I cannot and will not even attempt to interfere with consumer choices of Freedom-loving Americans ))) 🍆
So what watch did you wear in the military? I wore a marathon Gsar
COM-IN-DER-SKI-AH. Five syllables.
You said Nucular lol

Actually you’re wrong. COM-IN-DER-SKI-AH. Pronounce 5 syllables.

I think Vostok watches are very decent watches; to begin with they have a clear identity
However, at the same time, I think the company does not do "the extra mile", reason for which I would not recommend the purchase of their product, less in the current pandemic environment. Not from them - Meranom in Christopol, nor from any third party because you might find yourself in a more than likely bad situation, as a buyer and / or for under guarantee services.
My point: Vostok should pay more attention to issues like shipment, lead time and follow up. In normal conditions or in "pandemic" conditions, they should not take an easy position about the quality of the perceived service when it comes to lead times, they should engage in a proactive task that reaches the Russian Post, etc., and avoid lost in transit products, which happened to me; their lack of engaging in a proactive resolving task is really unique. They basically have no answers, no actions.. nothing. It seems to be that a Lost in Transit item is just the most normal thing... "it is what it is..". They can blame the Russian Post service to any extend, but, no matter how Vostok pictures it, it is Vostok problem!
It is a problem the company has to deal with and they do not show willingness, at least, I did not perceived it. Again, it is not Russian Post problem, it is Vostok's; issues like this create and contribute to a negative perception of the company, it reflects a "third world" image.
Vostok, no matter how good your product is, you show no commitment to customers.
You get what you pay for.... $ 75 bucks is what you got
Looks so cheap..... put it down and wash your hands
It is cheap. I just washed my hands. Why are you watching vids of cheap watches if you don’t like cheap watches? Strange
Big difference between inexpensive and cheap.....not that strange
Steven that’s great, I have a ton of inexpensive watches too and love them. This one in particular just looks like something from the bargain bin on Wish
@@RandomRobReviews I have one that keeps better time than my GMT-II (the one I got fixed in Moscow), for the money they are great watches. I also have one from the early 70s as well (manual), very accurate as well (the GMT fixer rebuilt it and serviced it for me last year) hadn't seen this red version, will try to buy one, I had seen a yellow version in an airport shop last year I think.
Hey Rob, I'm new to your channel. Is it possible to swap the movement and crystal on Vostok?
