    I love it! Absolutely no effort was made to make it look like an existing model :D

    I doubt it's even real leather. It certainly isn't an Omega strap!

    Knockoff would assume they were trying to copy an actual Omega model.;)

    I'd have enjoyed spending the 20 bucks to acquire it, just because it's so obviously and horribly bad.

    Are there actually two separate movements in that case? What on earth is that about? Maybe you use one for a few weeks until it dies and then swap over to run the other??

    It's a cheap way of getting two dials that actually work.

    Cost of a proper quartz complication - $17
    Cost of 2 x quartz movements - $3.90

    I'd have joined you after the purchase.

    At the range.

    It does need a bullet in it to put it out of the world's misery at that.
