Thanks Waffles, I have very little familiarity with this watch. So I have not paid that much attention. I just looked more closely at a few TD's selections and yes there is a big difference. The Ali would be fine as a novelty watch.The hour indices look like they are painted on vs the sandwich dial found with the TDs. Probably not noticeable at 5ft, but it would bug me looking at it on my wrist.
The one thing I did notice was the lack of the Omega signature on the nato's that our TDs have. This cheapo Ali seems to have a signed bracelet.
