Apparently this watch is somewhat new. I couldn't get it from my regular sources. I got this one on ebay. It comes in three flavors - all black dial, black dial with white second area, and a cool white/beige dial with blue hands and indicies. I elected to go with the all black dial because I love glow in the dark dials and the all black has superlumn on the hands and dial indicies. The case size is 44mm or 45mm depending on who's listing the specs. It looks smaller than my Pilot Aviator, but I placed it on top of it and it covered it up. :) I think the bevel on the bezel accounts for the smaller size impression. It is one chunky, manly watch. That's for sure. I flat out love it. Its awesome. It glows in the dark well, but not super great. A good charge lasts for about 2-3 hours. The hands fade first, but the dial is still good past 3 hours. Fit and finish is excellent. I got both the solid and the peek-a-boo case back. It came with the solid back installed. Side pics are from vendors. The strap is really nice. Only problem for me is that it is a little short. So, I took it off and installed an Invicta Lorica 24mm until I get a Hirsch Liberty 24mm that I ordered last nite (at 2:45am Ken) from The Watch Prince. Specs: Russian Poljot AMPHIBIA Watchwrist watch water resistant to 10ATM, Brushed stainless steel case. 17 jewels, 3105 precision movement, serial number on back, luminescent hands and indexes for night visibility, comes with leather strap (24mm) and manual.   |

Sounds plausible to me. No, the watch doesn't hack. :) |

However, the watch seems to be gaining a bit of exposure now. So, I have only seen a couple ebay guys offer it recently. I got my mine stateside. Try http://www.russiantimepieces.com Guy's name is Anthony (Tony) Medovoy. Ask him if you can get both case backs. Say you heard about it here. Its worth a try. Or, you can buy it overseas. However, as I mentioned elsewhere here the shipping costs have gone way up recently (like in the last week). |

Sorry. Been busy listing watches on ebay. I love the watch. However, the back is a sore subject. :X It looks aweome now that it is installed. But, I took the watch in with a couple of others to a Jewelry store to have the backs changed out. When I got them back and home, I noticed a ding on the case of the Amphibia and a good sized scratch on the Invicta case (battery change, and not my watch - a friends). So, of course the store denied dinging my Amphibia, but they couldn't deny scratching my friends Invicta. So, they Dremmeled it out as best they could. I have been pissed ever since. The moral of the story is, do as much of this stuff as you can. I don't own a watch case opener, but I'm starting to look for one now. I have only had mixed results with Jewelry stores. High ones are no better. I took a bracelet in for resizing to a fancy Jeweler and the damn thing fell off in the car on the way home. They didn't get the pin in. Friction was the only thing holding the bracelet together. So, I give up. Gotta do it yourself. Last edited on Thu Apr 6th, 2006 06:06 pm by mcwright |
