Hello,

I recently inherited my grandfather's watch. It's a Rotary, he got it for his birthday in 1952. Very small by todays standards.

It has Switzerland written on the bottom of the dial, and I think it might be gold as the engraving hasn't changed colour over the years. I'm pretty sure the strap is a modern replacement.

I have no knowledge of vintage watches, so was wondering if anyone knew what model it is? I assume it's a 1952 model unless his parents bought it second hand and got it...

Help identifying my grandfathers 1952 Rotary watch

Hello all,

Very new to WUS and watch collecting as a whole and was hoping for your advice on purchasing my first vintage watch and whether it's original or not.

I saw this Vostok for $69 on ebay, I think it looks great but I don't have the knowledge to know if it's authentic or not.

I believe it's a Vostok Amphibia, but the listing names it as a Vostok Antimagnetic, I have no idea what decade it might be from?

Do you guys think it's worth a buy?

Many thanks

Is this Vostok legit?
