Won it back in 2005 on eBay for just around 30 bucks. I haven't serviced it yet but it has been working very well for all these years, no issues at all except one time when a bit of condensation got inside the case somehow but it was quickly solved by just opening the back and put it back again. It was my second automatic after the Invicta 8926 and I think one of the brands that started with the Chinese watch craze. Love it.

Saemidori Gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka.

I used 5 grams of leaf, 110 ml of water at 50 Celsius. Steep time of 2 minutes.

Prepared in my Tokoname Shudei clay teapot.

From Shoguokuen tea farm. Love infusing tencha in the same way as gyokuro, also love the nutty and sweet profile you get from the liquor. One of my favorite green teas.

It just arrived and already loving it. It's perfect for smaller wrists and the construction overall is great. Nice stainless steel, feels robust and sturdy but not heavy at all. Love the retro aesthetic overall. I really like this dial in red and not wacky names or logos here like other chinese watches haha. The strap feels nice too, it is not the best strap out there but much better than expected, it is a bit narrow compared to what I'm used too but it looks fine on my wrist. I got it for around $50-60 USD and it came with a nice case so I'm more than pleased with my purchase.
