- The Vostok-Europe Energia Rocket is a MASSIVE watch built in a limited quantity. Here's everything I loved (and didn't) about this piece in detail, section-by-section.

I don't review anything from Vostok or Vostok-Europe anymore: too many delusional Vostok fanboys out there who think these are the greatest watches in existence getting angry about an honest subjective opinion.
I own one of the older ones without the power reserve and sub dial, in bronze. I love it but it's an occasional wear thing, it's right on the edge of wearable and probably only for 50% of people due to the 60mm lug to lug. I accidentally caught my car door with it once (hitting things is just something that will happen). Didn't end well for the car. All your comments are completely fair, the single most annoying part is that second strap loop, they ride up all the time. I'd still buy it again.
Funny thing is they actually make one that's slightly bigger, the Mriya. It's the largest thing I can wear and again, something you pull out occasionally because you just want to wear a truck wheel that day for the enjoyment.
They’re catching up with Invicta.
That's honestly what it looks like
What's the movement in it (sorry if I missed it)
Seiko YN84 Automatic. All of the specs are in the beginning around 0:25
Looks extremly good. Very maskuline.
Its not HUGE, its 48mm. An Invicta granddiver is 47mm(looks normal on a 200-250lbs guy)
It is huge if you're a normal-sized man. I'm 5'10 and almost 200lbs, and this watch looked like I was wearing a birthday cake on 7" wrist. Comes down to personal preference I guess.
Maaaybe try again from the perspective that "Vostok made a Tuna". It's def an alt to the grand seiko (uses the same movement), and is arguably prettier for desk diving... I'm still waiting to find a "Darth Tuna" for around 900 usd. But, I'd consider this in the blue/orange colorway at $500...
That's an interesting perspective. Might be a great selling point for potential customers looking at this line.
They might as well start calling themselves invicta with this case size I’m a big dude with an almost 8 inch wrist and this would look cartoonish never got the super sized watch craze and it’s a shame because because this is a very cool looking dial and features for a dive watch I love the toolish
Look but it’s over kill this makes my biggest watch a Seiko transocean chronograph look tiny and it’s and automatic chronograph so it’s thick but anything over 44mm and your going to turn off a lot of people off. If they scales this down I think a lot more people would be Interested but the super size watch era is long gone
Yeah I think these giant watches are literally embarrassing.
@@ShouldITimeThis I like the term separate 😂
"When you open it up you have the inside..."
Yeah looking back, that was one of the dumbest, most "no $hit" things I've ever said on camera lol
