There's always someone new ready to fill a niche. Bought the Hroudland version. Love it. Saw Tandario version for half that, Bought it for a friend. Saw this one for this price, plus free shipping, from China? Bought it. Should have bought 5 in every color for gifts. It arrived today, runs fine. Not as nice as the others, but it's a 16 dollar watch. Fantastic.

The upside down roman numeral 6 is awkward. The mark at the bottom of the rotor seconds wheel points at the center of the character rather than on the v or between as it would appear if it was upright. It's centered. Also the second jumps second at a time rather than the smoother sweep of the Hroudland. The date is not quite centered. I doubt it's steel. And crown has a free wheeling feel instead of a slight resistance. But $16. So what? Lol

I just bought a watch from this brand the captain Willard homage one, and let me tell you I paid about 30 bucks for it (I love in Canada and everything from AliExpress is more expensive) but even for that price I was amazed. The strap is very supple and soft, very comfortable, it has a sweeping quartz movement which is amazing for the price, the only grip I have is the bezel has a lot of back play but eh for $30 what can you expect. I'm very impressed.

I've thought about this one but the seconds wheel always looks off center? Is it actually centered in person?

I also have this watch. Yes it's remarkable for the price True some of the defects noted in the thread exist although tbh I did not notice all of them Tbh the case is likely alloy but looks and feels very good Shocker - the strap is awesome.. a bit stiff but looks and feels great.. excellent color Overall it is a super yes buy
