I'm not able to find this model anywhere. Is it modified at all?

I got this Vostok commemorating the Olympics but not able to find other examples. I recognize the outer dial from other models but not the inner.

You got a Vostok! Everything that you had shown us is from a Vostok. And I am quite sure inside will be a Vostok 2409 as well. Why do you say Slava?
Typo... :(

Is it a legit model?

Are either of these Big Zero's legit? I know the hands are wrong on the one with the yellow band. I'm leaning toward the one with the black band being legit but the dial shows no sign of age.

Both seem to have the right case, both dials have numbers that are slightly raised and shinier than the rest of the dial. The crystal on "black band" has a sharp corner, whereas on "yellow band" it's rounded off.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you, @979greenwich. Would another angle of the left one help you tell if the left one is franken?
@gp20 - You think the crown has been changed? And what piece of the movement are you seeing as replaced?
Is this a genuine Pink? Or is it just Pink'ish? Seems legit to me, after checking a couple of sources. Would appreciate any opinions, though.

I don't have one of the movement yet. Here is the back, though.

@Odessa200 & @gp20 - My heart thanks you. My collection thanks you for the new sibling. My wallet curses you.

I appreciate the help.

@gp20 - I found this seller on Etsy. He has a couple of them.

@LargeCrab - I believe the case is wrong. But the hands look right to me for dial.

This one is better. To my eye, cosmetically everything is correct except for the second hand. The second hand is supposed to be gold, like on the eBay one.

Maybe others disagree, though.

Is this Raketa legit? I've seen it with a gold case but can't find it with silver.

I'm wondering if this is legit. I've never seen a stadium with this color of dial.
