"Looks ok. Horrible LUMINOUS markers but what can you expect. I also suspect the buckle and movement will crap out on you fairly quickly. my best guess is this watch is not worth the money they are asking."

Imho the rolex 3135 clone could turn out to be a dud.

I bought a similar watch last year with a defective 2836 etaclone from a member and put a fresh swiss eta 2836 in it. Runs like a champ. I do not have much respect for the over complicated clasp though...especially where the flip lock is soldered to the blade (photo 5/11 left side on the supplied link).  For a reliable, easy to repair watch, the better choice may be one with an eta clone and be ready with a swiss eta for when the etaclone seizes up. Everything from an etaclone should work with a swiss eta...dial, hands, spacer etc. Hard to beat a swiss eta 28xx, they have been making them 40+ years.
