From 1965 Russian company Vostok were the official suppliers to the Ministry of Defence of the Soviet Union. They supplied the soviet state, army and navy with their watches. Rather than prying at it with a blade, (risking damage to the insert) simply soak the bezel in a solvent like Goo Gone for about an hour and it will come off easily with a simple fingernail pry. Always remove the bezel from the watch prior to exposing it to any solvents as the acrylic crystal will be damaged with prolonged exposure. Tips: You should be able to give it a healthy tug and have it stay in place. If it pops off too easy- adjust the angles of the bezel spring.

Replacing hands requires a bit of patience but pays off. I suggest only buying hands that are specifically designed to fit the specific movement in your particular watch. The vast majority of newer vostoks out there use a variation of the 24xx movement and therefore almost all aftermarket hands will fit this movement. If you have an older watch with a 22xx movement there is different size needed that is way harder to find.

polished case, stainless steel, ø40mm (measured without crown and ribbon connectors), height 14,5mm The friction can be adjusted by slightly adjusting the shape of the thin wire which holds the bezel in place
