I entered the partnership
agreement with Moscow affiliate of Vostok watch factory. They create and
manufacture custom designed watches based on Vostok factory bodies and cases as
well as the other Russian and imported watches. The technology they use let
them create unique looking watches fast and without expenses associated with
huge production companiesThe patented technology can create the metallic or
reflecting effects like in real diamonds.
These are the first 6
watches which I received from them. More to follow. I can take orders for the
watches that I don't currently have in stock with a waiting time 2 - 4 weeks.
You can have the watches made with your design or a photograph using the Vostok
watch calibers and bodies of your choice ! It will take between 3 - 4 weeks
between taking your order and receiving it here. Approximate cost for a custom
ordered watch is about $75.00
Yes. It will be covered by a
manufacturers warranty. You can also purchase an additional 1 or 3 year
warranties. The picture is guaranteed to last at least 10 years and it is
resistant to ultraviolet radiation.
Only 6 watches in stock. More will be available. Place
your orders.

Too much things started happening at once.
|
1) I was approached by a serious pin collector from
St.Petersburg who offered to post his collection on-line.
See the results
and Don't miss your chance to buy
from Veniamin Maletin.

2) The Moscow representative of the Vostok watch
factory offered to collaborate on a customized designs for authentic "Vostok"
watches, specifically targeting US market. The samples are on the way. They are
even ready to create customized design watches in the amounts of 1-2 pieces.
They use a patented technology and can reproduce the diamonds reflections on a
watch dials. I can't wait to see them. So, if you want to place your face or
any other design on a face of Russian "Vostok" watch -
email me. And it will not me much more
expensive than a watch itself. Projections of the cost - $65 - $75 as
delivered.
I will post the scans of the samples soon. |
