Interesting set: paddle hands, only one scuba dude... very enjoyable!
Ha! I did have two scuba dudes, a black and the blue, but my father-in-law liked the black one so I gave it to him.

I needed to make some room and this is what's left. Vostok will be releasing new models and dials in 2017. Plus I am on the main list for the LE compressor case re-issue and the Slava Amphibian re-issue.

This is the 100510 with a custom bezel and insert. I like the dial a lot, it is pretty versatile for modding. ;)

Looks like that one's sold out at the moment but agreed it is a great dial has a bit more that the 509 with the grey

I bought one new from Russia recently from eBay user specialwatchservice and they were very good. I have only ever worn it for cutting hedges though....I find the more watches I get, the more specialised to specific jobs they become! I am wearing my sitting at computer Speedy at the moment.

Not a modded amphibia but here's my NVCh-30 #274/300. I wasn't in love with this watch when I first got it and I planned on flipping it. For some reason couldn't let it go, my wife said "for someone who doesn't like it, you sure wear it a lot". She was right!

It is indeed a cool watch, the case shape is really cool and very comfy. The brown dial pictures a bit lighter than it is to the eye. 60 click bezel and non-wobbling crown are unique to this piece, as is the doomed glass crystal.

Thinking of getting this Image but with this dial Image I know there's not a massive difference at all but think it would work we for any future bezel changes

Now thinking of a 710 case with either a 510 or 660 dial and then putting on a black ceramic bezel similar to this

I still have an love the above watch and wear it often. Though my new blue 020 SE has been getting all the wrist time since Friday! The click bezel on the new 020's is worlds better than the NVCh-30.
