Wearing my second watch of the day, since this just arrived a few minutes ago at my office: the venerable Vostok Amphibia. It looks considerably better in person than in the seller's images on e-Bay. The bracelet looks much more substantial and attractive than I expected, so I'm going to have it sized today.
By all accounts the watch is supposed to be built like a tank. Yes, I do believe I see something T-64 -ish.
Bezel...turret.... A T-64 on your wrist!

Today I wore a rather atypical Officine Panerai watch, the Pre-Vend么me Mare Nostrum, ref. 5218-301/A.
The movement is an ETA cal. 2801 with a Dubois-Depraz 3127 chronograph module.

I like the bold case at wearable size (42 mm diameter) and the special dial layout.

The watch is mounted on its initial shark strap from the 1990ties. I'm still searching for a new strap resembling the original design - or for someone who could custom make one.
Cheers,
Mick
