??? THE MYSTERY CONTINUES ???

[Volgo]

The dial says USSR rather than Russia - how long has that dial been made?

The first one was produced in the USSR (before 1991) using a '960' case (also called Neptune).
The second one is a common Vostok Amphibia (420059) still in production at the Chistopol manufacture.

mine brand new

the other could be older maybe

did think modern mod as you can get the case from Murphy has the same case and the dial is stock on a couple of the bay sites .. but as it has been photo shop colour wise and what not.. could be the old one but think not ?

The reason I ask is that it has that same crazy-paving aged look, but with the paint going over the cracks, just like in OP watch

yeah that was why I demiss it as the neptune the bezel is a modern one I would think the crazy crack looking paint makes it look old then it is think personally a well done mod but if so think I would have put a better dial in was looking in to it saw this one going at £300 ish and there is also a load of brand new vostok like this and the one with the setting sun as well

Volgo's right - it's a 960 Neptune, made in the 80s/early 90s
Old Vostok paint does have issues!
Here's another one:

When you say 'paint going over the cracks,' DA, where do you mean? The diver dude himself is a transfer, I believe

[OhDark30]

but saying that the case is unusually looks like a case from a luch or raketa

According to that Italian article, the integrated bracelet was made by Zim, the case by Vostok

That explains a lot
