What to inspect

Cheap counterfeit/replica bezels frequently show mis-oriented numerals such as an upside-down '30'. Corroborate with the movement — a bad bezel alone can also be an innocent aftermarket mod.

Non-Vostok movement inside

What to inspect

Because 'Vostok' (meaning 'east') is hard to trademark, Chinese-made lookalikes are sold under the name. Authenticity hinges on a genuine Chistopol 24xx movement and Amphibia case construction, not the dial name alone.
