Thinking of taking advantage of chinese new year coupon code and grabbing one from @trustytime


Hoping for some feedback from anyone that had experience with this model and factory.

From my research I think this is the goto for this rep but have a few questions.

1. Am I correct on the above?
2. Does the bezel align properly? Every picture I've found on Trusty and other TDs it looks like the 12 indicie doesn't light up perfectly with the dial indicie. Am I wrong about that.
3. Any other feedback or info about this watch is greatly appreciated!

The bezel for these are very easy to adjust, pop out, realign, easier than ceramic variants if I'm not wrong so bezel misalignment shouldn't be a big concern.

Yes this is the best budget/price point version of the 16710

Any other suggestions? Budget is not an issue. Was mainly focused, aside from the early 2000s esthetic, on the movement.

You can prowl around M2M and wait for one of the Viet case 16710s to pop up. They're expensive though at minimum 1k USD.
