    Need Help With Vostok "Ukraine" Watch

    I have another Vostok watch I need help identifying and getting information about. I would also like to sell it at some point.

    1) The entire watch, including the band/strap, is gold coloured. The back is stainless steel, I believe.
    2) Rotating gold coloured bezel with a red dot, 10, 20, 30 (black) and 40, 50 (red).
    3) The face is light blue on the upper half and yellow on the bottom half.
    4) In the upper, light blue half is a large gold Ukraine trident national symbol. In the bottom, yellow half, just below the center post is the word "Ukraine" in the native language. Just under that is the Vostok company symbol.
    5) The design on the back is what appears to be a bird flying over the ocean lit by the sun's rays. Along the bottom edge is the word "ВОДОНЕПРОНИЦАЕМbIЕ".

    It's a rather old watch (got it from a friend in the 80s) but it's still in beautiful shape. Unfortunately, I have no documentation for it.

    Can anyone help? Thanks!

    That's a quite rare case. Those crown guards are not very common - they were used also on a watch supposedly used by the Russian troops in Kosovo (BKC MO Poccnn ), however the voices date back to 2003-2004 (before the 2006 forum crash) and they must be taken as totally unconfirmed.

    Anyway, that's another transition model - big crown from the '80s Komandirskie, caseback from the mid '90s, bezel from Generalskie (and later Komandirskie) hand-winding models. The back is of course stainless steel, the case is brass, coated with titanium nitride.

    Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I'm looking to sell it but don't know where to turn regarding its value or selling it.
