Mechanical watch under $30

[Maxy]

Curiosity overtook and ordered this Vostok KOMANDIRSKIE divers watch for fun. It is a mechanical watch from Russia and in fact exists from 1942 and can be had under $30 on the bay. These are known to be very robust and can run for many years without any issues in the movement. Just thought to share on here!!

Thanks, obviously this isn't the forum for this kind of watch but I find curious to see so robust mechanical watches at so lower price point.

Vostok Amphibian is their more popular novel which ranges from $60 to $120.

Btw, there are many reviews out online but liked this one done just before their 50th anniversary.

Like it, like you out of curiosity I have just ordered a used Indian army watch from e-bay for the princely sum of £11.40 which is approx $15 including postage from India, it is due to arrive beginning of June, I will post photos when (if) it arrives.

I bought an HMP pilot watch from India a few years ago for £4.50 delivered and it's still going strong and even keeps good time.
