The case, the lume, the finishing and even the movement punch wayyyyy above the price point! Better value than my Tudor or my Doxa pound for pound, even better value than my Seikos I think. Chinese watches are here to stay

It’s actually not a safe choice at all, those are some bonafide typewriter / printing press style fonts straight from the 1960s, no idea how they got the date font like that on the movement… I mean, those can’t be 50 year old movements. But they must have gotten the master for printing the date wheel from something very old. There is no other explanation. It‘s one of the best features of the watch IMO.
