Recently bought a Vostok Megapolis from eBay for fun but after received it I am quite impressed and satisfied with the quality and built of this mere 37USD hand wound mechanical watch.
For those who's not familiar with Vostok, its a watch manufacturing giant in the Soviet Union era whereby they also responsible for the design of the infamous Amphibia diving watch used during cold era by Soviet and Eastern Block special forces.
