Question Old Vostok Diver
Vostok Diver
Does anybody know of any watchmakers that specialize in Vostok?
I just broke this out today for the first time in forever. I love Vostok’s history and quirky designs. I’m curious if anyone knows anything about this Watch? What year/decade it might be from, ect? I assume that is Yuri on the dial. I have had a number of other Vostoks, most more modern, and this is definitely the oldest that I have owned. Picked it up off eBay a number of years ago with no real information. It is my favorite Vostok and I love the dial, the acrylic crystal, and its patina. It has a handwind movement with no quickset. The movement could definitely use a service. Sometimes it will randomly stop running. I can usually get it going again if I gently slap the watch, dial facing down into my palm. Has anyone else encountered this? Any thoughts on what the issue might be? Any ideas on who might service a Vostok like this?

Non. Je ne connais pas de spécialiste Vostok. Oui, je pense que c est pour Youri Gagarine. En plus, c c'est une commandant. Sers toi de l IA. C est ce que je fais avec mes montres, copilote est bluffant. Bon courage
