 I think in a Russian watch you need to get behind the thinking to admire it. The movement is proven and it works...no need to be fancy it does the job.
Its a different culture and way of thinking compared to Swiss and others but I appreciate it and this watch has not let me down and keeps good time.
I love Swiss watches for what they are and even though I do not favour Chinese watches Alpha have a few good pieces worth looking at and even owning. Its like having a part of different cultures...broadens the collection and as you said more affordable.Thank you for replying I didn't think anyone would after the first few days and I got the feeling Russian was a bad subject here.
Do not get this mixed up with Vostok Europe and their limited editions, this is a proper Vostok.
(if you can afford $200 get one of these as it is the best Russian watch I have found so far, lume is good though burns out faster than others.)
