I picked up one of these last year, nice bit of Chinese horology DK. Some have QC issues, dust, nicks etc. They're a real bargain though, check out the green dial one, with the little diamond at 12 o'clock. Lovely All the best DK
I have that same watch, but without dust in the dial. I just love it, it is a real relic from the past. Possibly literally: I strongly suspect these watches are NOS, unsold units from the '80s when even the Chinese ditched cheap mechanical watches to go full quartz. Under the bonnet there is a Tongji hand wound movement. Good luck with the strap: it's 19 mm.
Hi Hi, yes this is indeed a new old stock all the way back from the 60s-80s, that’s why the QC issues. But given it’s age, it still v stunning isn’t it.
I forgot to add the price, it cost me €36. Not bad for something this cool!

19mm?! Damn it. I think I have SOME 19's, but not many. Maybe it is NOS, making it even cooler and more vintage!
Fang Zhen means shock resistance. You pronounced it quite precisely.
Hey, i'll take it! It was a lucky guess though on my part.
虽然这是一块非上海手表厂制造的复制品，但感觉跟原版差距也不是很大

Great little watch. I have one. Runs and runs.
Great looking little watch love it 😍
Great AliExpress unboxing, I like inexpensive watch finds. It might be time to sharpen that shank DK.
Did you hear about the Shanghai Spider? Thank you.
That's a new one on me, just googled it and I like the looks!
@@TheWatchtowerWatchReviews I wasn't able to find it on aliexpress though, only in some American sites. Cheers.
Hey haven't seen u in awhile..?🙏😎 ps PRICE did not pop up, ?
Ah damn it, it was like €35, sorry! Been busy with life!
I have similar watch, Shanghai Peace
€1000 euro for a Christopher Ward. Definitely better watches out there for that over priced piece
I'll have a review of it out later on. First up is the Pompeak Sub-Aquatic.
I keep expecting you to jab that thing into your hand.
Still safely got all my fingers and thumbs, all 7!
