Hope you guys enjoy it!

Watched your video. I find it very informative as you describe and show the wobbly crown and show the surprisingly bright lume. I would have sent back my watch if the crown wobbled like that.  How long have you owned this piece? From your video, I gather that for the price of USD58; it is a fun watch to try out and have. But would you recommend that collectors go out and purchase this piece or a piece from this brand? Also how is the water resistance like for this piece?

Hey, appreciate you watching! I have had it for about 2 months now so for really long term durability I can't say for certain BUT Vostok is known for its ruggednesslah. Oh if you have the cash to spare I would recommend it cuz there's a tonne of different designs that I think surely there is one for everyone. 10 year service interval makes it robust as well. It has 200m water resistance so definitely no worries there. One thing that I didn't mention in the review: in hand, it feels very substantial for sure. Solid chunk of metal. If you hate rattly hair pulling bracelets, better go for other strap options.

The watch has a nice clean look to it with high contrast on the dial. I read on watch groups on Facebook of people complaining of the crown from a model under this brand rusting and falling off within short periods of time. I wonder if this is isolated or a regular occurrence with this brand. Do let us know of your experiences with this watch in a few months.

That's interesting. Will definitely let everyone know on how it holds up (especially if it fails).
