I think the reason to buy these are the same as the reasons for not to buy it: It is a vintage watch design with a vintage movement design that works and performs like a vintage watch that you have to wind like you would a vintage watch. The advantage is that it's new, and you don't have to worry about servicing it. The price is insignificant and the Chinese standard movement is actually not a bad movement design. If it is or not an actual Shanghai watch or just made to look like one, it might not be that big of a problem, like how most seagull 1963 watches are also. There aren't many watches that offer this sort of vintage esthetic and feel even at higher prices. This is why I love the seiko Dolce, it looks vintage but it's a brand new watch and that one even has modern insides.

I like this watch. I bought it in the midlands because the seller convinced me it was linked to the Ming Dynasty. It was, The BirMINGham dynasty!

I had a Vostok Komandirskie once, but broke the winding spring. Made me leery of hand winders, and that is enough for me to give this one a swerve. That being said, it does give me Tissot vibes. Not a bad looking watch.

It looks pretty at first glance. If only they were honest but that is how the world is these days. If I had to find a reason to buy it I would say that it has a nice white dial and its an auto for 20 bucks so you dont have much to lose. Also acrylics have great clarity so it should look nice in the sun! Oh and if by some chance I do win could you perhaps give it someone worthy that can do with a good watch but cant afford one like say a veteran down on his luck or the like! Have a great weekend my friend!

Funny enough, many old - hand wind too - watches out there, are sold for crazy money, for no obvious reason whatsoever. So, this, is a couple tenners worth, although double that and you get yourself some "jaw drop" watches from (vast and unknown) AliX. Here they aim at us, the middle age crisis watch nuts. Retro to the bone, on a chinese clone. Drop the price too, win-win scenario. Cheers Duncan, hope you and the whole family are well. PS Hey! This comment is invisible... get it?
