There is a new player for all time low price, automatic watch. Try $9.95 delivered!!!
I received mine yesterday.
This watch is much nicer that it has a right to be.
Case fit and finish is up there, all functions and hands are in place and work and has run +2 seconds for the last 12 hours.
I got the white dial version and while I believe the dial may be made of pressed cardboard (cant tell for sure) It looks very good and the raised markers and details stand up very well to a 10x loupe.
It does have lume dots at each hour that glow brightly but fade quickly but I dont get the point since there is no lume on the hands. Heh.
Crystal is GLASS and so is the display back.
Small dial at the top is a second time zone and is independently set.
Second hand is perfectly synced with the 30 second flyback hands on the subdials.
Says water resistant but I wouldnt get this one wet. No rating at all but ad says 98 feet. Hah.
I changed the band and it is very comfortable to wear and looks suprisingly good.
I dont know how long this movement, clearly marked made in China, will last but for $10 Ive already had that in amusement value. I see one red jewel (maybe) at the balance wheel and the winding rotor does ride on ball bearings.
Research finds this watch in bulk with other names at many places for $25.
Posted for amusement value but if you want a watch to take apart and practice on, this might be for you. Im wearing mine.
So sorry for the silly rules here Max, but this will surely piss off our sponsers! ;D If anyone is interested, give Max a PM and I am sure he will be glad to PM the site URL to you.
