I was browsing around on a Chinese knockoff site when I came across a sale on this watch – it was going for $30-something from $80. I didn’t know the brand but liked how it was clean and crisp with a high contrast dial. I didn’t need that many complications, just the time and date are fine!

Later after ordering it, I found that that it was a replica of a Bell & Ross, specifically this one. On some random website, it goes for more than 3000 pounds, but who knows if that is true.

It arrived after a month and looks to me like a pretty good replica. There are lots of text and finishings that seem accurate, but who knows for sure because I’m not going to get the real version! Good thing it didn’t come broken like my last watch because I’m not supposed to unscrew the back.

One knock against this watch is that it is too big for my wrist. It’s not as big as some of the large watches that I’ve seen (i.e., not the size of a pop can) but it’s still a big square on my wrist which doesn’t sit flush. The glass is also not glass – it’s just plastic. Well you can’t expect too much from a $30 automatic, at least it wasn’t $80!
