This is the Vostok Europe Rocket N1 NH25.
I am aware that this watch is quite expensive for a movement that is used in Seiko 5s and if I ever want to sell it then I would probably take quite a hit on it, but I just fell in love with it when I saw it. I'm not quite sure why they are celebrating a failure, I'm also not sure why a watch commemorating a rocket is a dive watch but there ya go.
It's a bit of a beast at 46mm it's also I think the heaviest watch I own here is a side view of the chunky case
A quick wrist shot
The 4.5mm solid steel bracelet
One more of the dial
Engraved caseback
The crystal on this is also 4.5mm thick, I tried to get a picture that showed this, but I couldn't. I was a little disappointed that there was no literature about the N1 rocket but overall really love the watch.0 -

Quite pleased with this catch. Issued in small numbers to Bundeswehr ISAF troops in Afghanistan. Titanium case with a sapphire crystal and and a quartz Miyota movement.
Haven't had the thing in my mitts yet, a colleague kindly unwrapped the parcel and took some IPhone pics.0 -

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Sweet find. Especially on eprey. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Following on from the recent pictures of my TX watch acquisition in NY while visiting my brother.. He tells me they still have a big stock of TX watches in the store where I picked mine up. Still at $150 each!! So.. I ordered another two
A perpetual date
and a world time
Cheapest I can find them on the likes of ebay etc is usually between $200-300 each.0 -

First of all, some great customer service from Stowa, Fedex can never find my house, It was came a day earlier than I expected so by the time I rang up to leave a phone number it was too late to get the message to the driver. As a result of this there was a failed delivery yesterday, I got an email from Stowa this morning, telling me that they rang FedEx and they were told the delivery failed, and gave me a number to contact Fedex from.
Anywho, on to the watch
With the lack of the blued hands I wasn't too sure about whether or not to buy it, even as I was opening it I was a little prepared to be disappointed but fell in love with it straight away. First time I have had a deployment clasp on a leather strap, and first croco strap as well0 -

It finally arrived today
Vostok Komandirskie K-34
Great looking watch, very happy. Nice quality details everywhere, even the strap is nice. Looks and feels a lot more expensive than it was.
Did I say that I'm very happy? 0 -

Yeah, says "creating a new account is not possible" ?
How 'bout creating an old one then?I think tz-uk has blocked new memberships too, I tried to join up recently, but couldn't, message came up forum not accepting new applications.
TBH, you're not missing much, unless you're a Panerai, Rolex & Omega fan.0 -
Given to me by my dad when i started in secondary school waaaay back in 1990.
A bit battered and showing its age a bit but a few battery changes and a fixed bracelet later it still doesn't miss a beat.
Another gift from my old man.
This time a wedding present almost three years ago.
My work watch. Not expensive but has survived chemical spills and
being hopped off of desks, chairs, doors and so forth over the last four years or so.

Look what arrived today (earlier than expected!)The "little thing":
ohhh ...shiney
Did I mention it's only a little thing?:D All of 34 mm in diameter. But as it's mostly face, it's actually not too bad.
The strap is cheapo and very short (to be fair to the seller it wasn't even attached) Should I decide to make his a regular wearer it'll have to get a better strap
I'm loving it! It'll make a nice dresswatch.
For the technophiles:
Raketa 2623.H movement (24h), handwind, 17 jewels, shock protection.
Polished brass casing with SS back, acrylic glass.
Waterproof ...probably not
Edit:
already ordered a nicer (and more practical) strap

Hi,
First Post in this form.
Anyway heres my Aerospace, Love the watch:D. Some people dont like the digital displays but I do. Doing some clean up the other day and found the receipt and its nearly 10 years old and its never off my wrist. Longest period I have ever taken it off, is about 2 to 3 hours when I am going knee boarding or some thing like that and thats only 3 or 4 times a year. What I like about it is;
Very Light - All Titanium dont even notice its there
Very Accurate - Two three seconds a year at most
Clear Display - Ability to tell time at the slightest glance. A lot of Breitling's are very busy faces they have a lot going on. Too much IMHO
Thanks for letting me show off:)
