Vostok Combos





One of the more entertaining (and sometimes annoying) part of the collection of a Russian watches replacement bands for them to find. If those who gather Vostoks know the factory bands and bracelets are generally very bad. Bracelets, all the old hair pullers and learning bands were terrible quality (even though they are all made of leather). Recently the stock bracelets to improve the amount of content, but they have nothing to write home. The trick when looking for replacements, but the need for an acceptable solution that not more than the watch cost him to find. Considering that more could Vostoks for less that $ 70, it can be a bit challenging times.

The three examples above show some solutions I found. Is the foreground, blue Amphibia displayed in a brown NATO. This is one of the most popular and affordable solutions, instead of for Vostok. Nato bands will accommodate almost any size wrist is cheap and very strong. Amphibia & Radio Control Room anniversary edition, both in sport cheap alternative bracelets of Achievement. Each costs $ 10 - $ 20 range if I remember correctly. No solid link design, but the quality is significantly better than factory models. I'd rate them about equal to the folded link bracelets that Seiko uses a low-end "5" models.
There are many possible ways of Vostok to resolve a quality group. Quality permanent link designs are available for lectures and two other traders all prices are generally higher than the price and see for yourself. As an acceptable compromise for some, but so far, I avoid that road. I would recommend that Vostok collectors keep an open mind when searching for a new group of solutions. I was pleasantly surprised more than once.
