This is my daily watch, I selected the black face, waterproofing and 25 jewel (so it sweeps) options, $129 +$15 +$15 +$9.99 Western Union fee. The ceramic bezel stays shiny all of the time. $170 total delivered in 2 weeks:

My buddy has the real one and he likes mine better, LOL.
10x more than $17, but has been quite reliable and showerproof for a couple of months 😉. And if it breaks, I can afford the $170 - it's like frying a motherboard 😉.

hmm..
HMMM...
i might have to .. buy one myself ..
 
Got my watch over the weekend and it's not keeping time correctly. It slows down. I corrected it this morning, and a few hours later it's about 10 mins. off. It's too big right now for me too so I'm not sure it's worth it to take to a shop to get it adjusted. I really liked the look of mine though.
 
I shortened the chain myself, its very easy, all you need is a very fine screw driver or similar tool and a hammer or mallet. Look up on you tube, very easy, no need to take it to the shop. I am wearing it for the first time today, adjusted time about 20 hours ago, no issues till now, keeping good time. For the price I am not surprised at the quality control.

If you are a bit of a handyman, fixing the time on a watch is not that difficult. There is a spring inside that can be tightened or loosened to keep proper time, I have done this before when I was a kid, can be a fun project...

Thanks to you, I looked at my band and saw arrows on it, and bam, I had my links out in no time, hahaha, and now Im wearing it. It was sooooo simple that I felt stupid, for I didnt see them before when I looked at it. Took a small screw driver and a hammer, light tap, and had the pins out, took two links out, and back together, and now it fits perfectly. Thanks man!

Ive yet to adjust the time on mine though, holds perfect time......
 
Mine failed too today 🙁 .Yesterday all day it was fine, today morning I woke up and found out that the minute arm was moving fine, showing almost correct time (slowed but about 3 minutes) but the hour hand failed around 4 AM, its stuck there since then....
 
Ok, but on a fair note tho, that isnt one of the watches I put up 😉 and Out of 4800+ people who have looked at this thread I cant b the only one that got a great working 17 buck watch......

Isn't what forums are for? Sharing information that sometimes isn't 100% relevant to OP's topic. The watch is Chinese basement made, is an automatic - self winding mechanism is employed, and it is cheap.
 
Upon inspection of the pics and Googling around, they look like Tongji movements made or inspired by Shanghai Watch Factory. So basically, these have no parts available for modding. 🙂
 
I could see wearing one just for a specific style, but it's not going to replace my Omega 9300 Speedmaster Moonwatch:

I have gotten soooo many complements on my watch, and then they freak out when I tell them the price, and not one yet has asked about it saying Winner on it. Every one of them has said it looks either stunning or beautiful, which it is, for I love watches, but Im a cheap bastard and collect only the cheap ones that catch my eye. I couldnt buy a $300 watch when I know I can take that $300 and buy a lot of these and still get people to notice it and be amazed be it a $17 watch that looks like this as if it is a $300 watch that almost looks the same, but Im not a snoob hand hold my cup of tea with my pinkie out and say yes, its gold, platinum, encrusted with fabulous jewels and cost me $1000 which you cant afford you peasant so piss off 😛. I just say yes, it cost only $17, and here is where you can get one too, and get thanks for sharing it 😀 hence why I made this thread and many thousands of you have looked at them.
