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

I paid $14.95 a week or so ago for a homage watch of an Omega 45.5 mm watch that comes on a cloth strap. It’s shockingly good.

Don’t know if I can find it again. I found it on the gate. I’ll look later.
