persianpirate 0 Posted March 22, 2018 Saw this a few weeks ago and decided $24 was worth satisfying my curiosity (and would be an easy way to whether I liked a 36mm). Pics below! First thought - LOL cyclops (wasn't pictured on the listing) 2nd LOL: Caseback In all honesty I was expecting to get a quartz for the price even though it was listed as an automatic, but much to my surprise... I was able to pop the cyclops off with a razor blade, and the bracelet was garbage but I had a cheap leather strap laying around that didn't fit my aqua terra. Dare I say......wearable? I'm used to larger watches so this one feels tiny. I'll probably throw a cheap colorful strap on it and give it to my ladyfriend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabbe79 26 Posted March 22, 2018 Not bad at all for the price! I suggest you to put a nato strap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted March 22, 2018 Clearly wearable on leather and without the cyclop ! Nice catch ! Just for information purposes : this auto movement is cheaper than some quartz in China, that's why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGilli 1 Posted March 22, 2018 With your clean-up and 'modifications' I'd say that could sell for 2x on the Gate now! It does look good now.... Worth $24 in my eyes now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omegex 0 Posted March 22, 2018 @persianpirate Get thee behind me satan!! I am tempted to ask you for the link and get one myself - but I've bought something else!!! Nice work on removing the cyclops and, as others have said, you've turned it into a wearable daily beater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luxuracer 14 Posted March 24, 2018 Do not listen to these guys ... they know NOTHING .... ! You got a rough diamond right there ... removed the cyclops is the first step ... now you need to franken the fricking out of that thing. Gen dial, gen hands, gen crown, and gen bezel ... You'll have a WINNER! @persianpirate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovedogs 1 Posted March 24, 2018 To be honest, that looks pretty good for the money once you got the insane cyclops off! I've considered cheapies off the gate before just to look at style/size, and this makes me more tempted. I'd say you did well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
