Best thing about the Vostok is the customer service. I told them my second hand on the watch stopped working. So they told me to smack it really hard a couple of times. Unbelievable to see it start ticking again without any problems. It is built like a tractor 😂

I dropped mine once (1 m, carpet) and from -20 s/d it went to -50 s/d. I opened it, tried regulating it using that youtube video, messed up the beat error, had a watchmaker fix it (it cost a third of the watch) and I'm never opening another watch unless I know what I'm doing and have the right tools. Before that it survived: light countryside bike riding and I once took it chainsawing (I'm not repeating the latter).

I had a Japanese friend with a pepsi-bezel Seiko when we were kids (like, early 80s). I didn't remember much about it, just a strong fascination with it and longing to have one. I spent a Summer in Japan with him and his family, and I got a much cheaper, orange-dialed dive watch. But many years later (2010), after I had purchased a few much nicer watches, I remembered the Seiko. Through some online searches I found the SKX and got one. I have a dress watch (B&M) and an upscale dive watch (Blancpain) -- but the watch I wear most is the SKX. I love the look, it feels great on my wrist, and it taps into some emotional pull from decades ago.

I am and always will be on team SKX. It was the piece that really dragged me deep into this hobby and it is the only piece I will never sell. It is scratched up with tales of adventure. It carries my spirit and hopefully, one day it will be passed on to someone who cares 😊Great video as always, Teddy!

I got my first Seiko recently. Also my first automatic. I went for an SNK361. I really like Seiko.. but I haven't found the SKX all that compelling when compared to the competition. What is it that you love about the watch? Is it just that it's the first of its kind? Or is there some unexplainable "you just have to try one to get it" factor?
@wristviber
@wristviber 9 ай бұрын
@@TrulyZer0 Congrats on your first automatic piece mate! Yeah well the SKX is far from the best option today in terms of bang for your buck. You can find way better watches for way less money these days. What makes the SKX special is the heritage it carries. It used to be the best diver for your money a few years back. It was THE watch for enthusiasts to get into divers with. It wears well for its size and looks stunning. But it discontinued back in 2018 I believe, and since then, the demand has just gone crazy. But it is nothing short of a classic. Quite a legend in many people's eyes. But if I was new to watches, I would not go for the skx because of the premium. For me, my SKX is special because it holds so many memories of adventure. It carries my spirit and that is priceless to me. The SNK361 is a great first automatic in my opinion, so enjoy it, my friend ☺

I am an Amphibia owner since last year and the process to get one described in video is spot on. Shady website, where the watch I wanted had the seconds hand in different colors in the produc photos. The support had a bad english and encouraged me to buy it. When asked they said they would give me a nato strap to it. I ordered it in May and got it in August with no tracking number or estimated time of arrival. This beeing said the watch is amazing, looks better than in pictures, got the NATO strap as a bonus free of charge. I used it this summer for scuba diving and cliff jumping. It is a great beater and I will love this watch for as long as I will live. If in doubt, buy it. Also great video Teddy!

It's easy to get a Vostok directly from the manufacturer in Russia, although their site looks like it was designed in 2000, I guess it's not the case for the world due to the situation. They've increased prices on the basic models by 3-4 bucks this year, not that much if you look at other brands. I have a couple in my set, but I'm definitely in a G-Shock square gang.

My first watch was a vintage Vostok Komandirskie (Vostok’s field watch). I bought it when I was broke but enamored with the inner workings of mechanical watches and desperate to have one on my wrist. I got it for 80 bucks. A mechanical watch with a real mechanical movement for 80 bucks. It doesn’t get wrist time anymore (mostly due to the risk of RADIUM exposure… these watches are truly insane), but Vostok will always be my first love.

My favorite that I cannot stop raving about was one that I believe you may have turned me on to. The 34 mm hand wound Timex Marlin. I only like it at 34 mm and only the silver dial and the Todd Snyder black dial which looks better when you swap out the strap for a brown or even better cognac strap. I actively dislike the California dial version, as well as the larger version and any other variation that Timex has released. Its incredibly elegant and my favorite dress watch with the exception of a Cartier Tank. At around $200 it's a steal. I get the feeling that Timex is phasing it out and its currently out of stock. 34mm is thought to be too small for many, but it really isn't. A dress watch should be small and larger ones look like clown shoes to me. People really seem to resent me for being so enthusiastic about it, but unless you have a really thick wrist, it is so wonderful and wearable.

I've recently started getting into watches seriously and wanted to ask in the comments if 'Ingersoll' and 'Cestrian' are well respected and known watch brands ?? thanks

Ive been collecting over the last decade, pretty much in isolation and buying what I love. My collection is skx009, Submariner 124060, Speedy, Oyster Perpetual 39 and Longines flagship. Happy to see two of my boys made it in this vid

Not being a fanatic, I was split between the SK series and the Citizen NY0040. But no doubt in my mind after seeing them up close, the SK just looks and feels cheaper than it's reputation, indicies painted on and such. Also since I go for 2nd hand ones the Citizen won when it came to price.

Haha 😂, I was going to mention the citizen NY0040, but you beat me to it. I have the black version from a dive shop in Europe.

Speedmaster needs to be on the list. And you can do a separate video on just Seiko.

Newer movements may enable hacking, hand winding, etc. but I want my dive watch to be rugged, highly water resistant ( 200M or better), legible and have a great unidirectional bezel. A Casio Duro fits the bill ( it is my beater) but I dive with a BFK.

How about the Omega Speedy? There is also a whole library of knowledge regarding the different versions.

I would add the Omega Seamster professional. Since it made its appearance in Goldeneye its relatively unchanged in design.

Those Grand Seikos do look lovely. But I can only afford a modded SKX013. I love changing the dials and hands myself for a new look.

I started as a G-Shock enthusiast reading forums about "Why G-Shock is better than Rolex". The forums keep mentioning Rolex models then I go look at their website until I memorized the entire Rolex catalogue. Now, I'm a proper watch enthusiast wearing a vintage Datejust 1601 who gives respect to the king 👑
