Ezio Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Ps about the cyclops i can see myself it aint 2.5zoom and the dust is just outside of the crystal
docthor Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Well...for 10$ it's all okay...but it's only a watch that looks like a Submariner 16610...there's pretty much everything wrong (hands, dial, cg, crystal, crown, clasp, bracelet, endlinks, you name it ).
Ezio Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Haha thanks mate Guess its going to be tossed out Then
Ezio Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Just bought it and hoped it Would be something since yeah you know 10 bucks haha i would never know if i didnt bought it haha
teddy boy Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 It's not very good, the hands are particularly bad. That being said, most people won't know the difference.
martijnp Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 For 10 bucks you never go wrong! But it's a terrible rep though
SSTEEL Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Don't toss it out until you have at least checked what movement is in it.
Legend Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Like what my friend Martijn said: For $10, you cannot be swindled over this. Open it up and check the movement!
Sbybbuser Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 It could be a prototype that worths 10 millions. Ehmm... No.. 10 dollars max 1
Ezio Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Here i might go complete newbie but have no idea on how to open it haha i
sputim Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Use a rubber ball and try to turn the caseback to the left and it should open with the torque. Btw really bad rep but still there are people that have no clue and would not see that this is a rep haha..check the movement but definitely don't invest any money or time in it since as aforementioned too much is very wrong
Mike on a bike Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 I paid ten bucks for breakfast use a hammer if you feel like it!
aeromatic Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Mod it into a fantasy watch new dial and oh yes take that damn sticker off the backcase and replace the crystal or try to remove the date mag ! that way you will have a cool watch that cost you next to nothing, a little bit of beveling on the case edges rafflestime has cheap dials and hands ! i see it as a snowflake sub !! Edited March 25, 2014 by aeromatic 1
coffindodger Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 looks great for $10 = £6.62 most people in my pub would think it was a gen if i told them 1

Vegasvic Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Well, not the greatest rep, but you basically got it for free. Glad you didn't spend a C note, or anything close to that.
jallen82 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 The case has an 18k gold stamp on it...just melt it down and make a killing!
