Funny, the Original Vostok (not Europe) watches has the almost the same movt and cost like 100 dollars +- while this crap cost $450 retail just because it has "europe" and a glass underneath the watch and its 5ATM lol , the 100$ watches are 20ATM
lolzlolz6You mean...60$ :)
I got a 24hr (2431 based) for that kind of money from Fleabay.
This offer is way overpriced at MSRP...even the price here is a bit steep if you ask me.
disord3rDUDE, how comes the first guy understood what I meant and you didnt ? read again .
There's a 100% russian comapny called Vostok and then there's Vostok Europe (2 different companies)
lolzlolz6Completely correct.
”Vostok-Europe” is based in Lithuania. “Vostok” (which goes by the Cyrillic alphabet spelling, “BOCTOK”) is based in Chistopol, Russia, and was founded in World War II. Vostok does produce movements for Vostok-Europe, I’m pretty sure, but they are not the same company.
SirHelixand my point is a watch company that sells their watches for 60~150$ with the same movnt that Europe one has , and the europe ones sold for around $500 ....
lolzlolz6Have you ever looked into the parts cost for the midrange ETA movements that are used in watches costing several thousand dollars? The movements go for around the price of a couple of pizzas.
lolzlolz6Movements are cheap, they often do not reflect the price of the watch. I think ETA2842s are around $20-30 and are found in watches that cost several thousand dollars.
