Maybe not collectors, but Russian Vostok watches are still popular among people who like mechanical watches. They are still among the cheapest mechanical watches and mechanical watch movements you can get your hands on today. If you live in the US, be careful, purchasing Vostoks directly from Meranom (the Russian factory store) might violate some laws given it's currently wartime and there are sanctions, etc.
