And I got it for damn cheap, too. (Partner got it as a gag gift of sorts, but it tells the time just fine and it doesn't look half bad, so I'm happy to wear it)

Goofy as this is, it's actually awesome. The colors, the whole thing. I dislike AP but this is neat. I'd wear it for sure.

    I honestly thing people would wear this widely if it had a good movement in it. Quartz or mechanical like some ETA highly servicable movement or a good HAQ movement that keeps stellar time. If you wanna sell the watch I'll play with it to add in a good movement. For funsies so I can repost it here.

    So this one is technically a knockoff of this D1 Milano watch that has a Time Module/Hattori VJ21 quartz movement in it. I expect it's quite popular among the fashionable crowd, and I'm pretty sure the original does actually keep quite good time.

    Yours is better. No name on the dial. But I definitely saved that watch. It's a neat piece. I like watches and dislike AP as a whole basically but interesting piece. Seems to crude and very unique at the same time. Thanks for sharing.
