BravoDelta 22,288 Posted October 12, 2020 This popped up on my YouTube feed. It looks kind of like a Ball Engineer. With an automatic Miyota movement and solid link bracelet, it looks like amazing quality for $68 bucks on Amazingzon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087NJX2QC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_stcHFbWMKQ8J8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waspy 306 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Starking sent one to Mark Lovick for review and he was impressed with the watch but not so much the movement. He serviced the movement and then went one better and fitted a Miyota movement. Starking must have listened to him because they now fit Miyota movements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Efar7Dlyw Edited October 12, 2020 by Waspy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waspy 306 Posted October 12, 2020 Also, the Amazon link you posted is the old model with the date at 3. The newer model with a Miyota movement has the date at 4. And they're $68. https://www.amazon.com/STARKING-Automatic-Stainless-Business-Waterproof/dp/B087NJX2QC/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=starking+miyota&qid=1602496162&sr=8-4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popperini 17,602 Posted October 12, 2020 These came up on AliExpress or the Gate some time ago at a stupid knockdown price - $25 or something. There was a mini-flurry of activity while people snapped them up as a cheap source for a 2813 movement in a free watch.

BravoDelta 22,288 Posted October 12, 2020 I may buy one with Amazingzon Prime. If I'm underwhelmed I'll just return it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
