hi /fa/g/s!

decided to give you a little report on what i got lately:

1/3) Amphibia WUS project watch - a reproduction of SLAVA diver from the 80s - mine since april

the photo does not do the colours justice (sorry about that, forgot my decent camera at the office)

best money I ever spent - if you see one on the secondary market, just go for it, even 500 bucks is decent for something so unique and truly stunning in the metal. I am never selling mine. I want my kids and grandkids to wear it. this is the kind of watch that is still every bit as sweet when it's all banged up and scratched. that said, the finishing on the case is meh at best. I understand this is partly due to brushed finish, as opposed to polished on standard production models of the 150 case. I had to file down sharp edges myself, yet my love for this watch never diminished

Conclusions:
- Chistopol watch factory can still make a great watch - especially at the price
- Despite the 41,5mm case, the Amfibia 150 is just fine for a wristlet of 15,5cm (srsly, ive kissed girls with thicker wrists)
- https://meranom.com/en/amphibian-classic/150/ just look at the motherfucking prices. what you get for your buck is an in-house movt auto that also handwinds and is rated to 20bar. this is madness!
- runs consistently at +15ish seconds/day, in a decade or two one might have to replace the movement, but they are widely available. does not seem to be inferior to entry-level japanese autos. the biggest quastions remains longevity
- the downsides one has to contend with are the substandard finishing (especially the underside of the case) hussle while setting the date (back and forth between 8pm and 1am) and bad bezel action (depends on the model and your luck)
- neither of the aformentioned downsides have prevented me form wearing, enjoying my vostok and others admiring it

Q: SHOW ME YOUR AMFIBIAS, tell your experiences, post slavshit
