Vostok Amphibia is a great watch for the price.  I dig those old Russian movements, too.  Rough looking as hell, but tough.

Nothing huge, but it's first watch I got myself with my first paycheck. This is a good feeling…

Congrats mate!.. 

[michaeljcr]

Awesome mate, I'm wearing the 007 variety myself at the moment on (yes I'm sad) a NATO James Bond Strap. I like the GMT bezel on yours though, very cool.

New toy:

Bought a Vostok off eBay after i saw that. Lucifer, I'm blaming you for this one…

Thanks Seul and michaeljcr!

I'm already looking at the one with the black bezel (007J)! Perhaps would get it in the next few months.

Here's a (poor) snap of mine:

That NATO matches the bezel really well!

[michaeljcr]

Cheers! I went for the black/grey option, but you can get one with the more 'authentic' Bond tiny red stripe as well, which would look good on yours.

Check out these guys on eBay:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/aliasmarlow?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 - this guy makes some great 'screen accurate' Bond straps.

I've been on a thin watch/dress watch streak lately so this Zenith handwinder at 7mm thick is perfect.

Damn, that's a nice watch!

These are surprisingly from Orlando, FL, which is about an hour from where I was raised.

Support this guy, very nice quality bands.

I like it, is this going to be your daily beater, would be interesting to see how it will look in some time…

[urbanwoodsman]

I'll probably switch between this one and the one Jii made me. This one is much darker, but I think it will age well.

[michaeljcr]

You're killing me, mine haven't arrived yet! Should be here next week though, all being well.

Very nice find. You're gonna love it.

I'll probably get a black CXL one next.

I see there some good potential for nice ageing…

Can't wait. Yours looks great in the pictures.

Looks like my watch straps had arrived after all, but were with our neighbour! The postman had neglected to pop a card through the door letting us know.

In an act of Christmas awesomeness, they sent me a free black 22mm black CXL strap to go with my two natural ones!

The 22mm natural is very cool, as is the free black one. Sadly, through no fault of the strap, the 18mm strap is too chunky for my watch (very little room between the spring bar and watch case).

So, to carry on the Christmas cheer, I'm going to give away the 18mm to the first person who posts below saying they want it. Just PM your details.
