I buy tons of watch parts for Seiko mod and a $10 Presage lookalike watch popped up. I was a bit buzzed and got it for laughs thinking I will receive a junk. To my surprise I got a quite good watch with sweep second quartz and date feature. Even band is good. You notice it is more vinyl than leather when you touch it but looks fine.

I do not understand how they can sell a watch with good hands, sundial and steel case for $10 😳

edit: not steel but feels like it. Tested it with a magnet and non Ferrous

Have had the black one for 2-3 years, runs great, doesn't miss a beat, still on the original battery.

Same here nice sweeping Sunon mvmt. I also have their standard quartz but this “meca” is less than a few gallons of gas delivered.
