Is that for the sticker on the dial?
Sticker? you lost me.
I am presuming it is a sticker with a picture of a tourbillon
No, its a tourbillon.
Has it got a little electric motor powering it?
Assume itās powered by the finest chinesium
The very finest.
That planetary orbit astronomical dial⦠Canāt put a price on art like that.
Oh I can. £180.00.
Two pence of which was spent on the dial, those indices and hands⦠Fck me it looks like a carnival prize watch. Fair play for investing £179 more than I would have.
Itās just a crap photo. The dial is actually pretty nice. Horrific design, but pretty well executed.
As long as you donāt wank with your left hand it might last for a while.
You might be right, there is some crap out there, but (reluctantly playing devilās-advocate) more probably not: a good deal of the Chinese stuff is remarkably well made, movement and all.
I now have another couple of Chinese watches Iād like to buy due to this post sending me searching
Thanks a lot.
Caveat emptor and all that but I just consider them a bit of fun.
Yeah, they are way down a very long list of things requiring money anyway.
Bloke was flashing one of these at pub quiz last night and its the first time since I sold all my watches that Iāve been tempted by another watch.
Resisted the temptation to ask if I could try it on
The ceramic one is nice - thoā the PVD bezel is annoying.
Annoying as in hard to read, or as in likely to scratch and wear more than a steel one?
All the rest of it is ceramic, but the bit youāre most likely to ding is stainless steel with a glorified paint finish. Itās routine practice in the industry, partly because if you hit a thin-ish bit of ceramic itāll crack right through, so, this being the case - use a carbon composite, not steel!
