Flooded My Scuba Dude Vostok Amphibian and Discovered Surprise

Congrats to me, I managed to flood my 2012 Scuba Dude Vostok Amphibian by swimming with a loose (unscrewed) cap on the winding "head" (whatever you properly call it). 

The watch doesn't work any more.

I used the opportunity to open the watch as don't like to open working watches and... I found a surprise surprise!

 I describe the surprise in this little video.

As you can see it has a Vostok Europe auto-winding rotor (and Vostok Europe is not necessarily related to the Vostok company proper).

At first, I though that maybe even the movement itself was a Vostok Europe but it is unlikely.

More pictures for your enjoyment.

2002 Vostok Amphibia "Sailboat"

It is now time to catalog on this blog another watch from my collection which is this 2002 Vostok Amphibia(n) "Sailboat" called so on account of it having a picture of a sailboat on the dial.

These photos were made some years back and they are not too good. 

Maybe I'll make yet better photos of this watch but for now these will have to do.

This is one of the three post-Soviet Vostok amphibia watches that I have had and still have, the other two being the 2007 Compass Bezel Vostok Amphibia (now retired from active duty) and the 2012 Black Scuba Dude Amphibia that I use currently.

But it happens to be the oldest of the three having been bought in the now distant year of 2002 and is a veteran of many a swimming-pool and sauna session, and I don't go to places like that -- where they engage in water activities -- without having a Vostok Amphibia on my wrist.

Sorry about the graphic picture below.
