I have been looking at this watch since Thursday. Mainly because of a sale, and it's cheap. But it's also quartz and a smaller 35mm size.
Normally I get attracted to silver dials. And this one, well it looks kind of wrong. The poor contrast with the lume is one thing. Then I finally realized it. It's the fact they used a linear brushing up/down instead of a radial brushing.
To me it says "stamped out of a sheet of stainless" rather than some kind of finely-finished watch.

To me it says "Copying the Railmaster." |

This is what they were really making a copy of. I don't think they did a linear brushing on the Rolex dial.

Looks ok to me. Seems like they’re copying the Glycine Eugene Meylan too.

Interesting. For me, silver dials haven't always been on my radar but if done right they can be just classic. Here's a couple that caught my eye...   |
