Their quality is not equal to Noob or BP but they are about the same price. BP has the best day fonts, Noob stick markers are closest to gen size. It's almost always a compromise.

That just means it has a deco plate tacked on to the movement. A deco plate is a complete waste of money in a closed back watch, and can actually be harmful to your movement when loose screws, jewels, etc fall off it and down into your movement or rotor. I've had it happen. I now remove the pieces of sh1t whenever I get stuck with a watch that has one on it.

The money they spend on this useless addition would be much better spent on improving other things - crystal, bezel, movement, whatever. Or just pass along the savings.

This is a deco plate. It's garbage in your watch.

Thank you I appreciate your feed back. Looks like a waste of time for them to do that.

Indeed. It's a remarkable creation really, look at all those parts carefully crafted onto a fake plate, and the engravings. And sometimes you have no choice but to pay for it. Shame.
