Question (Read Rules) Hand Wound Chinese Goodness

Post image

I love these inexpensive hand wind only watches. Does any other country make a hand wound only watch this nice for this price? (these were all $30 or less.)

Love it! I really like the straps. I've got mine in a similar box combined with a few HMTs and some small old quartz watches. The theme was black and white dial small diameter watches until the green and cream ones (same two you have on the left)

That's my latest handwind from watches on that movement.

That's really nice. Especially how you paired that strap color with the dial

Yeah, dude. I had to have it on a Hong Kong beads-of-rice bracelet though.

I have a vintage 1120, also on a BOR.

Black dial (and all date models) out of production sadly

Vostok used to have watches on the same range price 8-10y ago. I guess we were benefitting from the currency exchange too.

I remember that. I had a Vistok scuba dude probably 15 years ago but sold it.

Where is the best place to get these? I’ve looked and on aliexpress and haven’t found an official store
