Not clear as to why you didn’t wait 18 years to buy a watch for him.

What???

Starking is an inexpensive Chinese brand. (I own one.) Probably more expensive to fix than buy a new one.

> these guys popped up in my socials earlier today

A good reason to ignore them.

And here I thought that kids these days don’t know how to tell time on an analogue display, lol.

> It is always said that watches are a good investment

Just never in this subreddit.

Given that most of the parts appear to be only for decoration…$0

I bought one with white index marks, gray background.

An open heart on a Patek? That will never happen.

Personally, I wouldn’t give someone a watch that, when it breaks in a couple of years, won’t be fixable.

Except the OP got a Moonswatch.

I think some of the hours markers are just burned out by the reflections which is why you can’t see them in that pic. They can be seen in the other pic posted.

You lost me at “my entourage”.
