OK This I Got From A Watchmaker Friend Here

[longbike]

Aloha ,
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER MAJOR ..... FAKEO HAS LANDED.
OK, we have another Item again like the last one but it looks a lot better.
BUT .....  maybe from a over seas area Manufacturer .....    .
I have a Friend here that opened up a little Watch repair Shop on the Naval base to help other with their watch's. 
 He came over to my house to see what I do and have and was very nice about it.
He saw that I have a Shelf with interesting items so he gave me this one to add to it.
     This was in a package he came to give me and told me it was quite interesting if owned then started to laugh.
He told me to get it going and cleaned and now it works great but on the shelf with couple other interesting
ones also and I have a couple of them now.
This is the ..... Second One to come around in .... 2 Years now.
So be not surprise to see it....... OK    .
I cleaned it up last night just for kicks and surprisingly it keeps very accurate time.

Need I remind you that you live on an island and everything that comes your way is from "over seas"...

Wow what a piss poor quality movement in that one.

[philsinclair]

Yeah, rough looking but surprising. Accuracy at a level that makes you scratch your head and bulletproof.mine is still running well after twenty years or so, 2 bucks in Thailand. Cheers Phil

I went for the top of the range GP model

Set me back a massive $3.18, it surprises me just how good they make these things look, and it runs like a charm, don't know what the movement is looks like a Citizen knockoff.

Does the chronograph actually work? The movement looks so poor...

 No, One pusher sets the date on the r/h sub dial, don't know exactly what the other 2 subdials do.

The pushers don't actually work. The day and date are set with the crown like normal.

The left sub dial is for the day of the week and the right is for the date. The bottom sub dial is sometimes used as a 24 hour display or seconds depending on the movement; ie DG2813(or variant) or DG3804(or variant.

The movements aren't pretty but they generally work pretty well...until they don't.

This one long since passed on.

On mine the pushers do work, you have to screw the caps out to the end of the pusher, the 2 o'clock pusher works the 9 o'clock sub dial, it advances two segments at a time, can't see how it can be the Day there aren't 12 in a week.
The 4 o'clock pusher works the 3 o'clock sub dial and may indicate the date 1 to 30 ?
The 6 o'clock sub dial works with the time and advances one segment every hour, rotates once every 12 hours.

None of it makes a lot of sense, still a step ahead of some of the cheap Chinese "Chronographs" that have 2 pushers that do nothing and three sub dials with the hands glued to the dial, but what the heck! It gives you the bling without the sting.

No, but there are 12 months in a year..😘.

Still better than subdial hands PAINTED on the dial... Sadly, I don't have a picture of it, as I canned the whole watch immediately (I bought it in a box with a Seiko and others...)

Hadn't thought of that, not much help to me if I don't know what day of the week it knowing the month is just confusion!

Aloha ,

Pete Hey I still got that Omega from before and it will still run good too. Even came with a new Crystal too
and on there now.
This one even the Chrono's works good.
Even have .... 2 Rolex Submariners too on the shelf.
