Too Cool.
Really like this diving watch with the image of a frogman on the dial in red. Too cool. May change out the stainless band for a NATO wither red highlights to accentuate the watch. I couldn't be happier with the purchase value and prompt value.

The Orange Scuba Dude Abides!
the orange scuba dude abides! well worth the month-long wait... first thing i did was remove the bracelet, then swapped the bezel for a matching one and put on a matching 18mm nato... see the pic...the seller, boctok, does a very good job of packing and sends by registered mail so you can track the package (some other sellers don't use registered mail, yet charge extra - not good, but as we all know Amazon's A-Z guarantee means you don't have to worry)these are excellent watches for the money - easy to modify, accurate even with 19,800 beats per second... i'll slap this guy on my timegrapher, but an earlier Amphibia showed +/-5 seconds per day accuracy - no need to open up the caseback and perform regulation!i like my new dude, and he abides - go get one, Donny!

Just different and cool
Band is junk so plan on replacing it, I wish you could just buy it without it. Ended up taking over as my daily watch. There is just something about it. ArtStyle on here makes a sweet orange grey and black band that matches it perfectly. I got this 6 months ago and it looks like the price went up a little bit.

Cool watch and all
Cool watch and all, but if you want accuracy you may be sorely disappointed. Buy it as a novelty, like me. You may get lucky and get an accurate one, or you may get one that loses or gains 30+ seconds a day, as I did. If you can accept that, then you will be fine.

Soviet watches !
I love the watch, it's a bit small by today's Standard-size but it fits my wrist well. Without the crown the watch measures 38/39mm. Good watch & very reasonably priced.

Great Scuba Dude Model!
I really like this "Scuba Dude" model. The only thing that I had to do when it arrived was push the stem tube all the way in so that the winding mechanism would engage.Update 31 July 2017: The watch is now having problems engaging the winding mechanism without a bump from side to side. I have contacted the seller anout the problem.

Russian Automatic Beater Watch
I purchased this watch a while ago elsewhere but I wanted to review it formally here.So, my first impressions about the watch before I did more research. I feel that it was a wonderfully quirky but functional watch. For being an automatic 200m Dive watch at around $80-110. Vostok makes several different cases and dials so it is a very customizable watch. I feel this watch is polarizing and more so with the coveted Scuba Dude dials.Onto Pros and Cons.Pros: 200m WRAutomaticDifferent choices in dials, cases, and bezels.Easy to mod. (I did a very minor mod of the bezel).Cons: The stock braclet. (Why I went Orange, White and Black NATO)The Bi-directional loose bezel (worse on the stock)Non-hacking (unless you bend the shaft on the crown).The movement is finicky and is anywhere between +-60 per day.In Conclusion: This watch is a great basic performer for it's price. Decent Lume, solid construction, and good WR. I do not feel it is a great dive watch because of the dysfunction of the bezel. I do feel this is a perfect quirky conversational beater watch. The watch is tough and durable. The crystal is the only minor letdown in acrylic, however it can be buffed easily. I bought this watch and love it. I love it more after replacing the stock Bezel and Bracelet.Look at the moddong community and various YouTubers if you wish to mod this watch.

This is a great watch! I've been wearing it almost everyday since ...
This is a great watch! I've been wearing it almost everyday since I got it. The band is junk but a ten dollar NATO strap fixed that. I like the history of these watches as well, it's part of the charm.
