A Vostok Desert Shield, gifted to me around 5 years ago by my father, was my personal gateway into the watch enthusiast community.

The vintage Vostok looks gorgeous. As well as the Neptune.

Ty! Idk why but the vostoks speak to me.

Sadly I put mine away in the box

No not really

It says you like to stick to what you like but are consistent. Good taste and collection, not ones I would own but I appreciate them.

“I like watches.”

[–] GFCallsMePapi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Says you have $14 in your bank account

[–] CdeFmrlyCasual@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey! I have 15 dollars in my bank account, thank you very much!

[–] GFCallsMePapi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

$14 of it was spent on those watches

[–] ibreti@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice to see a fellow Vostok fan here. My tiny "collection" is similar to yours, a few cheap digital quartz Casio's, and a recently purchased Vostok Komandirskie ref. 020607. The Vostok is my first ever mechanical watch, and for having paid less than 100 dollars for it, I'm pretty happy with what I've got.

[–] SluggishWorm@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That vintage Vostok is absolutely gorgeous

[–] RealUltimatePapo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You like Vostok

...but so do I. The Neptune is such a good watch, despite a couple of quirks

The Ball is also beautiful. Not a single boring watch here, otherwise

You need the opinion from anonymous people in the internet

[–] Evening-Welder-8846@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A practical guy that perhaps likes maintaining/repairing older things and likes his watches to have some character and would rather get something that spoke to him personally than something more conventional.

[–] CobaltDestroyer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Very jealous of that orange neptune. <3

[–] Difficult_Ad_6871@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Like me: broke ass

[–] EamMcG_9@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’d say you’re very conservative and don’t follow trends.You like basic,proven brands or designs.But you won’t hesitate to buy an offbeat/all white Watch because you like the hour indices or something.Or someone special gave it to you.

[–] Minuteman617@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Teal Vostok is awesome

[–] Kingston31470@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It says you are now ready to move to Vladivostok.

[–] Mattcherrymusic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That you own 6 cheap watches.

[–] alfis329@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The ball is $2300. Might not be a Rolex or AP but is certainly not cheap

[–] Mattcherrymusic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, missed that one. 🥸

[–] SanderDieman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You don’t spend a hell of a lot of money on watches per se; fortunately you’re also not afraid of walking around with some uncommon pieces on your wrist; you don’t necessarily chase big brands or novelties; you’re actually using / wearing your watches by the looks of them. Pretty much all good, carry on! 😉

[–] RepulsiveIdea9274@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Curious how you like your Ball? Bought my first this week.

[–] CandyC20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love it! Probably one of my favorites to wear

[–] Mrbumbons@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Watches are fine. Photo skills not so much.

[–] CandyC20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] CdeFmrlyCasual@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not much money and you enjoy unique and quirky stuff.
