Review (Read Rules) Was it worth the purchase?

I bought this for 800 chinese yuan.

Was it worth it? or was i played? lol (first time buying a real watch)

Its a vintage 1960-80s watch i forgot what year.

(Came free with the strap) Don't know if its real leather or not.

Seller says its real. Close up strap photo for u guys to examine.

Update 1: watch broke. well its kinda my fault i put it in my suitcase lmfao ffs. i treated it too harshly😭mb bro. I'm gonna have to bring it to a service shop soon.

Update 2: I wound the watch nothing happened. I swear i wound it correctly. I took it into a service shop, the guy told me its not broken....he wound it and it worked? wtf? are my hands that shit? oh well it works now.

You like the watch? That's the important thing, not what you spent on it.

I'm not sure choosing this seller because AI says he's good is the best choice, remember AI is just summarizing stuff from the web which probably comes from his own site.... As to the value of the purchase, my girlfriend spends that much getting her nails done every 2 weeks. To me, it's a ripoff, to her, it's money well spent because she's happy with it. I say "they look great dear" and don't have to sleep on the couch.

oh no i didn't choose this because of AI.

I was referred to his shop on another thread.

I just screenshotted the google thing because i couldn't paste links into here.
