    I bought a cheap Chinese self winding once. Looked great, diver style, kept accurate time and was happy with it.......for about 6 weeks then it quit. What to do? I finally epoxied it to the sidewalk where I could see it and watched as people tried to pick it up. Cheap fun for a cheap watch.

    I don’t think they do. It’s a Shame they don’t Teach a lot of stuff like they used to. Our Future Adults are raised to be Selfish and Condescending.
    Just my View/Thoughts.

    Skemi makes good watches. I have one with a Japanese movement. That said, mine is not water proof enough to withstand the rigors of washing a car.

    This is a cheap Chinese watch that has been reliable. Mechanical, hand wind, skeleton, stainless steel back and leather band. Can’t remember the cost but it was under $20.00 I think.
