I'm curious to see how the new Seiko movement performs in real life.

I know it's been available in a Strela, some Invictas and a Vostok. When it was announced in 2014 that it would be available to outside watch makers places like Hodinkee were high on it because of the features vs price.
I'll definitely do a review when I get my units in November. I believe it is an undecorated Seiko 8R chronograph movement (Maybe someone will chime in with the exact details) they use in their watches.

love Russian vostok had over a ton of them at one point and that ant a joke did a thread over in the russian forum of just some of them a few years back
but the new vostoks are hmm probably not that bad bit way over priced for what they are and hate it when they are being sold on idea world and the like with some of the b.s that get said
mean japanese movement built in Lithuania not very russian when you think of how the vostoks started .. really when at one time they was made and then built and sold all with in russia .. and now with the how they are sold a true communist ideology would be crying
Yeah it's a modern VE and it was way too big for me to consider.

not really knocking them in them selves but just like invicta I don't like the pr they have a vaguest connection to Russia that they really play up too ..would give them more respect if they had started fresh mean vostok was once a new company ..everyone's got to start somewhere so big up where they are made now and that history,
instead of naming watches after Russian history maybe ... have almost bought a ve a few times their was several I thought as a watch where quiet the part just the price point seem ridiculously high for what they are.. but if I saw a second hand one with in a certain price point I would probably by it
same goes for invicta have bid on a few models when I have found them at a price am willing to pay

I'd give them more of a chance if the price was lower and the sizes smaller. Back in the day I bought a VE watch, I think it was called K-9 Submarine, it was basically their Submariner with a red day night indicator. Wasn't a bad watch but I paid too much before I knew better. The bracelet was hollow and rattled so much lol. Think I have it somewhere still.

yeah they had a certain look the yellow dial three sub was ok looking but a Japanese movement can't remember if it was quart or manual now but like $895 was it nope no just no it was worth something but no where near that ..mate bought one and I check it out for him for those with chunky wrist they work well and did really like their gasman one almost bought it a few times second hand but they always go just above what I want to pay ... I think if you was to buy a brand new one now then sell it straight away you would probably get a third of what you pay
so think if you like the watch and happy to know that their is a really low re sale value then what the hay ...
mean some might actually be collector pieces of the future theirs about four or five that have some basic charm to them
