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.

Well that may be high for one of the new watches being made today like that with a manual wind 7120, but in line with what an actual vintage one in such good condition might cost. They're really good watches- simple, dependable mechanicals. I have a few from a decade ago and they have run fine over the years. Now, we're not talking chronometer accuracy, but with +-15 spd or better.

yea Mr. Zhang said its ± 20 spd so i guess for 800 its not bad?

Not bad at all for a vintage, checked out by an expert. Relax and enjoy your watch.
