    it's a Wyler Incaflex running from the 50s automatic for 20$ stainless Steel also is waterproof. Don't want to get just because it is cheap.

    If you like it buy it. What matters most is your opinion of it.

    Unless you are just trying to flip it... then I'm no help.

    That is a very small watch, boy size. Have you seen it in person?
    Is there a significance with the brand or just the price?

    I've seen this smaller sized watched on a bund style strap, helps some.
    What do you have to lose?

    As you mention in the post "about possible repairs" which obviously are unknown, I would not pull the trigger. Too big a risk.
    If you want a beater then get another watch. I do not know what your budget is.
    I personally have a Rolex precision that I use during travels to places I do not want to flash a two-tone or Sport model, to limit my loss if something were to happen. Sometimes, I wear the watch on the inside of my wrist.
    These watches (Wyler) do not seem to command a big price. Sometimes is better to spend a little more money on a watch, regardless of brand, that has a service history from a known/respected seller that will offer a guarantee in case something does not work out.
    For $20, you will get none of the above..

    For $60 you can get a brand new Seiko 5 Automatic. Look on Amazon.

    No service, it will have a short warranty. If it breaks after that, buy a new one.
