Where to Buy a Russian Watch
Updated 11 June 2009 by Editor of RussianWatchGuide.com See also, Best Prices, Deals & Special Offers, Tips on Buying a Russian Watch If you are going to buy a Russian watch, it's generally a good idea to purchase it from an official, authorized seller. Manufacturers may not honor warranties on watches purchased from unauthorized sellers. Below is a list of online stores where you can buy a Russian watch. Russian Watch Guide does not endorse these sites -- this list is strictly informational. Major, Authorized Online Sellers 
Russia2all (USA)This is the best place to buy a new Russian watch if you live in United States or Canada (though Russia2all also ships internationally and has many European customers). The "Watch Komrade" Craig Hester and his staff provide outstanding customer service. Russia2all has been selling Russian watches since 1999 and is an authorized retailer for most major Russian brands including Aviator, Buran, Sturmanskie, Poljot, Vostok-Europe, Denissov and Vostok. 
Smirs (Russia)Smirs is an authorized retailer for most Russian watch brands. They have a huge selection of brands and models, and reasonable prices. However, they are based in Russia which can occasionally cause shipping or customer service concerns. P. Maier Russian Watches Shop (Germany) Exclusive distributor of Aviator, Buran, Sturmanskie, Vostok Europe, Denissov and Vostok in Germany. A good option for European buyers. Red Army Watches (Singapore) Has retail stores in Singapore and Indonesia. eBay Sellers You can find a wide selection of Russian watches and excellent prices on eBay, from both authorized and unauthorized sellers. The trick is to know who is a good seller and who isn't. For this purpose we have prepared these tips for buying a Russian watch on eBay. Other Online Sellers Below is a list of other online stores that sell Russian watches. This list includes authorized and unauthorized sellers. As previously mentioned, the manufacturer may not honor the warranty if you buy from an unofficial seller. Here's information from Volmax regarding unofficial sellers.

I buy watch from kevinsrussiantime.com the price a little more but they extend warranty and I had one come from Moscow, when I received the crystal was cracked from postal service I called and they send second watch and tell me just send back broke one when able can to send, after i send back they send me letter apology for postal break crystal and they will now package differently with coupon for 50% off next buy for helping them see problem! I have bought seven watches from Vostok, Slava, Orion,Raketa all from
www.kevinsrussiantime.com awesome customer service a 24hour phone line shipping all over the world out of Moscow and awesome watches Got a nice 45mm Volmax Aviator from Ruscamera Store on eBay. It cost $209.50 with free shipping, so cheaper than the $270 at Smirs. The watch comes without the manual or gift box, however. The seller has a 100% positive feedback score of 4000-odd reviews, and he's got a nice selection of Poljots and Raketas. This is terrible that JTV does not handle sales other than USA and CANADA. www.Poljot24.de is a good shop, too! Owned by Julian Kampmann , he trades since 1992 with russian watches and has a large selection with lots of pictures on his page. I visited the shop on a trip to Germany and bought a watch ( Aviator Chrono ) personally - very good and friendly service. Ships also worldwide. Morgan,Melbourne Omex watches on ebay looks okay. They have a good feedback reputation but it is based on very few sales. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Russia2all I saw 50% off Vostok-Europe Maxim Gorky watches at jtvwatches.com today. Amazing price. Thanks for the info CJ. Happy Holidays! Further to Canadian import duties, I just received an
Aviator from the US. The watch was US$99 (CDN$122.53) and I paid CDN$19.71 in taxes. The breakdown is as follows: GST $6.13 + PST $8.58 + Handling Fee $5.00. Regard to importing into Canada, I believe it is 5% import tax plus GST plus PST. I have a watch coming from the US waiting for me at the post office. I will post the breakdown on the tax after I pick it up.
Has anyone had experience importing into Canada from the US? What were the customs charges? Thanks www.m-watches.com is another place to buy russian watches in Germany. All watches are legally imported. We offer the best models of Moscow classic chronographs, Vostok amphibian collection as well as a variety of Raketa 24 hours watches. 30 days money back guarantee. 19% off if outside from EU. Repair and adjustment service. 30% off Moscow Classic watches at russia2all.com until xmas. Coupon code MC30 JTVWatches.com has extra 20% off clearance watches until Nov. 30. They have a beautiful Denissov for half-price. Long Island Watch has a price match guarantee on Vostok-Europe watches. They will match the price of other US sellers. Yes it's true that places like Overstock and Amazon have good prices sometimes but they have a terrible selection. Usually only carry Vostok-Europe. I think it is best to order from a distributor that specializes in Russian watches like Russia2all or order directly from Smirs in Russia. |
