For 70 bucks, though, i would be hesitant. I just can’t imagine finding a mechanic to fix it if need be, or what kind of shortcuts they had to make to create it.
Is that a moonphase display on the top there though?
uhhh I know there is kinda some different definitions for the word “mechanical” so I’ll describe what it does.
It needs to be winded, but there’s a little weight on the back that spins as you move your arms. As the thing spins it winds the watch automatically
IIRC that feature is called “automatic”
For $70 I don’t expect to wear it for years and years, but I haven’t had any issues yet. When it eventually breaks I’m gonna try to fix it myself and probably fail haha
The moon thing just shows approximately how long the sun will be up, it doesn’t have the full cycle :/
but I got it for mostly looks and it definitely fulfills its purpose :)
Watches, sadly. There some beautiful pieces, and somehow the industry figured out how to ask for a house’s worth of money for some of them
I got this for $70 online. It’s from china and probably isn’t well made but I absolutely love watching the little wheel go back and forth
it’s sooo pretty!
(I messed it up the 2nd timezone when daylight savings time happened lol)
It is indeed pretty! :) Is it mechanical?

Some magnificent pieces can be had for “only” used cars prices.
The one i have and love the most originally would have cost as much as my first car 15 years ago :D
