Reply With QuoteThat's a good look. Far nicer than the original :)
Since the 1967 reissue was to big, I bought the cheaper Amphibia model 090916, which basicly looks the same, but just a bit smaller (still a big piece of metall though).
This one
However I didn't like the polished case (really looks like a huge mirror), but I thought the case was chromed and brushing take of the chrome and leave a "gold-ish" case
It's not! It's stainless steel!
So popped the bezel of and gave it a very light sunburst brushing.... really makes the diffence imho.
Vostok should have made this as well, there is another beadblasted version available.... but brushed seems to fit this design better I think.
That's a good look. Far nicer than the original :)
youve made a very cheap looking watch into something much, much nicer. well done.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
^ I do agree ... you really transformed it. Nice!
Far, far better and a very nice job. Well done that man.
Great job mate, what transformation, I think I want one
Great job! Really nice
Received a 22mm lumpy yesterday, which is a real improvement when it comes to the balance of the watch on the wrist.
The hidden lugs eat the straight ends really nice as well.
What a great look !! As you say, the case shape hides the straight end pieces, one thing I dislike about the lumpy.
