That's a nice one, Ron! Is it a 潛水錶?
Thank you!

More accurately 办公桌潜水员，潜水风格，但不具备功能

I wouldn't wear it swimming or showering.

But I love the looks and the price,

Your thoughts on that Serica watch, please, Mr. 'Lari.
It’s a nice bit of kit. Came on a 70s style bracelet that is good looking but an inherent design flaw results in it constantly becoming unlatched at an inopportune moment. Which is any moment you did not plan to loosen the watch from your wrist.

Rewarding hacking hand wind mechanism (like buttah) threaded crown, with a very nice contrast between the polished surfaces (like the edge of the bezel) and brushed surfaces (like the top of the bezel).

The hands are fucking perfect - clean, easy to read, and sufficiently long to align with the minute track on the also easy-to-read-at-a-glance Cali dial.

The luminescence is acceptable, though it’s certainly not Super Luminova C4 Mach 9 G Ultra Mega Glow, or whatever the latest is now called.

At approximately 36mm it’s a little smaller than a lot of people prefer… but I can still remember when my 36mm Datejust was simply a ‘uge wartch, so it doesn’t bother me at all.

The 19mm lug spacing is odd, but my Hamilton khaki is the same, so I swapped out this green leather pilot-style band…. And it only becomes unfastened if I actually unfasten it.

Those - those are my thoughts, Kind Sir.
