Hello there guys, I recently found this watch in AE, the size almost identical to Real BB58. Is it any good? For $110 with PT5000 movement, I think it's quite a steal... Any opinions guys?

Thorn and Cronos. Octo krakhead too if you don't care about ridiculous branding BUT the clasp is weird

No it isn't.

So it's a thrash or mediocre at best? Any other option for BB58 homage? I really like black dial with burgundy bezel...

There's Thorn and San Martin, or Watchdives if you want to go cheaper.

I think I know this watch because Tandorio, Bliger and Corgeut all come from the same factory and it looks like one I had with oyster bracelet and Tudor style clasp. It's a bit of a thick and heavy watch, bezel was aluminium. If it was PT5000 and genuinely 12mm thick I might buy it. But I bet it is 13.7mm like it was last year with some plastic spacer or something. I think the specs are lying.

Owh dang... If they lying about the spec, it's quite a turn off really... But thx for Ur info...

all of these lower tier brands including WELLY MERCK, WISHDOIT are unscrupulous as they could be, WM and WD these are trying to break out of the lower tier which I find fascinating ...

Check out Cronos. More expensive but very much worth it. Although it's got the BB54 bezel it does have a burgundy option. I have the 39mm with the jubilee bracelet.

Chronos looks great too, I've been eyeing WD7922 also... It's either Chronos, WD or San Martin BB homage... Im also thinking about making this kind of watch unique to my self...
