I came across your review while researching more expensive choices and this ended up being an impulse buy - a good looking, automatic watch for 20 bucks! I wasn’t expecting perfection and I knew I wasn’t getting it when the buckle fell off the band as I removed the watch from the packaging, which was nothing more than a padded envelope. The date setting position of the crown doesn’t work and the only way to set it is to cycle through the days when the crown is fully extended. It runs a little fast and there doesn’t seem to be much power reserve. The band is decent enough, once I got the buckle back on. In this case, you really do get what you pay for. It IS pretty, though. Live and learn. I find it ironic that the most innovative designs are on cheap, poor quality watches. I guess it’s because the more expensive choices are too busy copying (or “paying homage to”) famous luxury watches.
Great looking watch here Wes. The Roman numerals are printed on the underside of the lens? It's an optical dream. I will use your link today to purchase this watch. Great review. Great value. Merry Christmas! 🌲
I use it daily rather than my onega Seamster, Zenith, Arsa fe. A bit weak balance wheel - but a beautiful watch with nice polish and detailed face. Itruns fine, and has serviced me for several years. Loses a few seconds daily, the luminous paint can tire somewhat - and the original strap will need replacing after a while.
I own one of these nice watch looks great but when not worn it only keeps time for about 4 hours so in my particular case I have to rest the time every time its idle for 4 or more hours. Not a great outcome for a watch This might be just my luck and the others might be OK and my particular one is just a slightly faulty model. So by all means buy one but make sure and check with the seller that it will hold time (when not worn or idle) longer than 4 hours other wise you will be disappointed.
Another great find Wes ! Keep them coming . Cheers
More to come!
