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

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

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.   |

It gives you the bling without the sting. 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...) |
