- I recently got this Vostok watch from lifestyle shop and wanted to share something a little special about it...
A viewer of mine said that buying half a dozen Vostok watches is like buying half a dozen eggs..lol
Inexpensive and good for you !!

changing the hands was a good mod. -- Vostok watches are awesome.
I recently signed up to the meranom website just a couple of days ago - man the different choices they have is crazy as is some of the dials :) I'll definitely be purchasing a Vostok in the new year , some funky looking piece's for £50 or there about's , worth it just to try them out :) have a great day Peter
Great stuff, you too 👍
I really like the modifications you’ve done you’ve really transformed that watch that thing is a stunner now
Cheers Pete
Привет из России! Тоже есть в коллекции эта модель Востока Ретро! Отличный выбор, спасибо за обзор!)
Excellent review. I do not have a Vostok watch yet but I will be purchasing one soon. I love the design of this specific one. Any chance you could make a video with the steps / tools needed to replace the hand? Thanks in advance!!
Love it Peter. I would love to own one
I think that none of those who buy Vostok leaves it alone, there are so many to change and at great prices that you more or less become a watchmaker. Very nice Peter, happy holidays to all.
Very well said !!
Enjoy your holidays
Excellent. I've seen this watch on Meranom, and I have to say that your simple modification does transform it to a really bitchen watch. The strap upgrade is real, but those hands really do make it!
Lovely Pilot! Appreciate the white face compared to all the normal black! Great sharing ! Thank you Peter!
Thanks Lawrence
Yeah a nice different look for sure 👍
What a stunning watch !!! And its a watch you dont see every day. Great review 👍👍👍
Cheers
You just broke my heart 💔
I thought Vostok made one good looking watch only to find out you are responsible.
Hahahaha
I’m so sorry 🙏
@@PeterKotsa yeah got me too was texting my Russian friend saying "no the one with the fatter hands" haha looks ace
Totally true, disappointing to learn you can't buy it. I can't change hands I'd brake things and lose my mind
@@eliakuiper4266 pay a visit to a watch technician! They'll probably be able to give your watch a new look and it won't cost an arm and a leg!
You deserve more subscribers.
Awesome model! I eventually have to try to get a Vostok...
I purchased one a year ago.. after 3 months was still waiting, after which I filed for refund. Haven't pulled the trigger on another one...
Yeah I have heard that it takes many months to get one from Russia..
Lucky for me I can access Lifestyleshop here in Melbourne, :)
You might pay a few extra bucks, (pocket change really) but you get the warranty and service required as well as a watch straight off the shelf onto your wrist...Happy days :))
@@PeterKotsa Nice!!
Most things from Russia to Canada is about 3 weeks. Mostly depends what area of Russia as well. I've got things from Ukraine in the same timeframe as things from the U.S.
@@GODSPEEDseven Very lucky, we are on the other side of eternity here..lol
Wish you could buy this with these hands
First time seeing this model. Neat watch. Thanks Peter.
Cheers
I just got in a Vostok Komandirski K39 390774 and it's my favorite. I now keep looking on Meramon for my next one. My K39 has a display back case, mineral crystal, and a great rubber strap and I bought an extra orange strap. I'm looking at a Buyalov rr02 red/black
Wow love that watch,
Vostok is making another appearance.
Amazing brand. You can have a collection for the price of a Seiko Presage. Hands slightly incongruous buy at this price that's irrelevant. Nice review as usual.
Cheers Alex 🙏
Nice review! I like what you did with the hands. And it's great seeing reviews of the other vostok watch lines
Cheers
You need to join Vostok Watches Facebook group...
Wooow. Didn't even realize it was a Vostok from the thumbnail. A very decent looking watch indeed. As a guy with a below average sized wrist I wouldn't mind it being 39mm though.
For some reason being relatively thin at 12mm it seems to wear very comfortably,. But I agree with you, if they kept it at 39mm it would have been ideal . Cheers
Excellent job, Peter! I also enjoy my K-35 on Strapsco urban camouflage leather strap.
I've got a new special build Vostok field watch being made for me & last night I bought 2 vintage Vostoks, it's all gone a bit Vostok.
Never seen this one on Meranom! I must snatch it immediately.
This site often has models not on Meranom: komandirskie.com/
Thanks for the info!
I finally got one of those on my wrist
1 after a simple adjustment I got it down to +5 sec / day.
2. paid about $70 (US).
3. amazing compared to sooo many others in the market.
Couldn't agree more
Cheers
Vostok, at least on Meranom, recently hiked up some of it's prices considerably... 98% of the models still the same price, but the ones everybody ones are up like 20%
Supply Demand 🧐
@@PeterKotsa Vostok, Masters of the Market.
Funnily enough bought the exact same watch and bought the same hands !!! Incredible isnt it ??? Well it would be if i wasnt telling fibs, lol. I wouldn't have the patience to change the hands on a watch but it would love to be able too. Gave a watch away to a mate last week because I couldn't read it properly, I would have loved to changed the hands on it, as it was possibly the most comfortable watch on a bracelet I'd ever worn. It was a fila but was all titanium and was an amazing watch for what I paid for it 20 years ago. I'm glad he can make use of it though. I wouldn't mind but he's older than me and has better eyesight , just my luck !!! Lol.
Handset is definitely an improvement. Great job.
Cheers
You have love these russian watches, I have 2 models
Great mod love the hand swap looks perfect 👌
Cheers
Nicely done mate. This version totally suit my taste. Now I'm itching for it ....
Your mod makes this watch...It looks awesome 😊👍
Thanks Jeffrey, appreciated.
Great watch . The hands have really elevated the watch . Great improvement
Excellent mod
It looks waaaay better with the new hands, I wish that was that was ODM.
Just ordered , lovely little watch , I don’t mind the hand either .
Really pleasing on the wrist and superb legibility 👍
@@PeterKotsa gone for the black dial , looking forward to trying different straps with it . Vostok really are cracking watches . I’m sat wearing a speed master professional the one with the huge box and I’m looking through Vostoks , not many can punch that far above their weight
Love these and are on my radar !!! great review !!
Thanks Nick
Cheers
Great video
Thank you 🙏
Great mod
Maybe you could make a video on some mods if you had the time.vostok the watch that keeps giving.😂
Thanks Mal, definitely the watch that keeps on giving. Well said 👍
Very interesting - you really improved the watch with your modifications. Would prefer the watch with 38/9 mill dia. case.
39 would have been ideal for sure 👍
You have a Vostok problem! Great handset upgrade.
Haha...whats the cure?
The hands and cheap strap make it look like a goofy Chinese knock off .
What you did really elevated the watch .
It lnow looks like a watch that retails closer to 1 K than the 250 - $300 RRP .
Good job .😊
👌
@@PeterKotsa To be fair the labour and parts would have would have cost at least $200 I assume.,perhaps more ?
@@PeterKotsaI'll be buying , it .
Riveted leather strap ? 🤔
The design of most Vostoks to me are a bit outlandish but this one looks good, especially with those hands. Peter would you consider modding an expensive watch?
Hi Tim
I have modded a $1000 watch but nothing over that yet. To be honest I haven’t considered it 🧐
2:00 The original K-43 watch wasn't produced in 1943 (production started in the late 1920s/early 1930s), the 43 referred to its case diameter.
2:17 The vostok replica is actually the smaller watch. The original was actually a pocket watch that had band mounts soldered onto it which is why it was so large.
Thanks for the clarification 👍
Appreciated heaps
Cheers
@@PeterKotsa lol I didn't mean to come off so pissy, I edited the comment so it's just the facts. I've got an OG K-43 (also called a Type-1) and that part in the video threw me for a loop
Did you change the hands yourself?, I’d love to do that but would be scared to death. I’m still new and appreciate your work. I’ve got a new hobby I never imagined and my collection will expand thanks to you and others, keep it up bro.
I got my watchmaker to swap out the hands. He’s the pro, not me..👍
I actually like the original hands :)
I gave the watch to my father, he loves the watch and it's legibility ..so all good :)
@@PeterKotsa Cool! I'm sure he'll enjoy it! :D
Hiya Pete! I was wondering from the beginning, thinking these hands didn't look like Vostok at all. Same goes for the strap. Now that you modded it it's a very special unique little timepiece! 🤩 Cheers mate 👍
Thanks Alex it’s pretty cool 😎
And the rabbit hole gets deeper. 😁
I might have to start giving some away 😂
@@PeterKotsa interesting 🤔
Very nice! Does the flat design fit under shirt sleeves better vs the “domed” acrylic models? Is the handset installation easy, or should that be left to a pro?
Pretty straight forward install..if you have done it before, this is pretty easy
1943 eh? The watch that won The War?
Nice review!
Did you already decide what next Vostok you gonna buy?
Not really, I just see something that I like and go from there 👍
Peter, If you like the classic paneraiesque styling, check out the amphibian 170962 and 170964 models. They really cool imo. Since i got my first vostok i've pretty much fallen down the rabbit hole, lol.
OK buying watches is not like buying eggs lol. It’s at least $300
What was the trick?
Yea you can move in and get another on but that’s not the journey of owning a watch you want to have it a pass it down the line repair it just like a car …..
Love the new hands but not to keen on the vintage strap choice!
What sort of strap would you recommend? Open to suggestions 👍
Здравствуйте, а ссылку не бросите на стрелки?
I got them from eBay, the seller is no longer listed
They should have left it at 39mm....
42 is just a little too large.
39 would have been ideal!!
I'm waiting a Vostock :)

Sorry Peter, this is one Vostok which is not floating my boat...
No prob's
I did say its all subjective, :)
Cheers
They should have left it 39mm
Стрелки поменял и ремешок как заиграли..они все малоразмерки что ли..выглядят большие и выглядят маленькие а все на один размер
Ничего не видно. Как можно снимать видео с таким ужасным качеством?
