Even if it does not tick it is not the worst investment. Enjoy itI just ran across a sale and decided to get this:
from here
At $1.45 + .89 shipping I will take one, there may be some usable parts in it.

I swear to Baby Jesus I am tempted to buy one just for the hell of it, lol.
I'd be willing to bet money that this has the same movement as all the fake Michael Kors watches and the pushers are nonfunctional and the sub dials are just for show. And for God's sake do NOT tap on the crystal - it will shatter. No joke - I made that mistake with a cheapie MK rep and it literally crunched under my finger tip.
But...it is cool looking. Post that bad boy up when you get it! And it's a pop on back so be very careful trying to open it up cause you'll put a deep gouge in the back of the watch really easily.

I apologize, It arrived yesterday and I tossed it in my desk drawer and forgot about it when I left for home. It is not a chrono, the subdials are molded into the dial. The pushers are molded into the case.
Here it is, in all its glory. Was it worth what I paid for it? Yes.
Would it have been a bargain at twice the price? No.
Here is the scam, the seller sends out these trinket grade items at a fair price. Then I am asked to leave a good eBay rating. This gives him several thousand positive reviews. Nothing nefarious about the plan; but it does make one wonder what an eBay rating is actually worth.
And now the pictures:

I hate to say it, but the strap is better than a "genuine" Citizen strap I recently got. Like I said, probably worth 2.34. I am also using it to practice replacing hands.
