NCRich 13,748 Posted December 12, 2023 Posted this next door so I will put it here too. Fresh off the Omega x Swatch and Breitling Endurance plastic watches we have the Blancpain entry. I believe that pretty much all the Gate/Ali watches are the same no matter what you pay. They are all a rather smooth sweeping quartz movement labeled HJ 28. It's sweep is similar to a 2813. It looks a bit like an auto because they have a fake rotor in there. I found some rather buttery silicone straps on Ali for $4 that match perfectly. They actually look far better on the wrist than you would imagine. Anyway, let's look at them. I got 4 @ $25 each. While the natos are serviceable the straps make a huge difference. Now looking at the back there is at least one misspelling. Popping off the back you see the fake rotor and the quartz movement. Quite colorful, I have no idea whether they are close to the correct color but these and the omega x swatch are the only watches anyone has ever complemented me on (and I have a lot of nice watches). You are probably going to get the same watch no matter who you buy it from or what price you pay so go low. My links, shipping on the bands is the same no matter how many.

GingerApple 7,285 Posted December 12, 2023 They'd look nicer if you roasted them in a little olive oil for 45 minutes at 220C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
