Here's an "Orkina" that the Hong Kong seller promotes in the title as an "automatic chronograph," and if you look at the bottom of the dial you'll notice it's a genuine "Swiss Design!"

Oh, it's also a "vintage" watch that is "100% new."

Oh what a play on words. Not Swiss made and not even a Swiss movement. But because it has that well know swiss watch look. Crazy! :shock: LOL :D

I don't know, but I have a family friend moving to Hong Kong. So, I am looking forward to seeing what they have to offer.

I've seen that label of 'Swiss Design' before. I just kinda chuckled a little because that told me all I need to know.

Does it come with a certificate to have your lawn sprayed for bugs? Orkin a? I do love the look of the piece though.

you might also find it very impressive that the "8-day" subdial is also purely decorative
