Finally the promised video on how to give your Amphibia a brushed, more toolish look.
if you like me, don't like the fully polished case and bezel, this video will help you achieve the nice satin brushed finish that will handle scratches much better than the factory finish.
Enjoy 😁

Whatever you do, also put mask around the crown stem so that the dust does not get inside.

Explanations couldn't be more clear. congrats for this instructive video.

I have just recently discovered Vostok watches. This is a great instructional video. I wish everyone could do as good a job of explaining what they're doing. I also appreciated the commentary from the dog at a couple of key places in the video.

Thanks for this video, I have followed your instructions and it definately makes the watch look less cheap. I only did the bezel though and the contrast between bezel and body looks great.

Great tip for removing & replacing crown without problems

[@tc6578]

I used the technique as demonstrated in your video on my shinny bezel. It took no more than five minutes for me to transform the said bezel to a brushed unit. Thanks for sharing your experience...

[@alduswong]

I found you. Thank you for the demonstration. I did exectly the same thing on the same bazzel. I put this bazzel on a vostok komandirskie, with a bund strap. Very different approach.

Mine is 090679 and did I the bezel mod you suggested. My watch already comes bead blasted but the bezel was shiny chrome. After your mod the watch became everything that I wanted it to be in fact I almost bought a replacement bezel in the likeness of the one I have now .. today! Prior to your video I did not have the courage to put the bezel on scotchbrite but I just did it and it came out way better than I could’ve imagined ... you actually save me about $25, thank you so much.

I used to have Vostok Amphibia, but it had round case, 300 meter waterproof and no auto. I had to wind it every day, but it was really really good.

Great video. I really like the contrast you did between the brushed and polished areas. Thanks for doing this video, I've been waiting to see how you did it. Cheers.

This worked very well on my Invicta pro Diver strap with mirror finish strap segments.

[@Valvey789]

This project worked out well for me. Gave the watch a more solid look. Thanks!

[@DancingSpacePotato]

I have a Komandirskie on its way and this was very helpful! I also want to replace the hands and no other video I watched mentioned pulling the crown to the time setting placement before removing it.

[@anthonykleeman9686]

Nicely done! Thanks for the effort - and the explanation, it could be a fun evening project.

[@24h_]

Thanks for the video! My Komandirskie had a similar issue with getting the bezel off and I managed to leave a bunch of scratches, revealing the brass :(

[@shadowman5618]

I could brush the Bezel by repeatedly turning the sponge at one direction while holding the Bezel in place with my hand and the result was wonderful!

[@briansc5148]

Thanks, NICE mod! Idea: dissolve the numeral paint from the bezel, buy a small vial of lume powder or premixed lume paint and fill the numeral/dash engravings with lume, then hit it with some clear coat- or at least the
