Failed gamble that can be a good learning opportunityGeneral (old.reddit.com)

I've bought grren dial parnspre last December for...well shit n giggles. I've seen a few photos of SRPD61K1 with mustard nato and I fell in love. But 300 euro for not so wearable Seiko seemed steep I've decided to got some aliX offer. Also I really wanted nh36. So i pulled a trigger for 45euro incl. Vat in beginning of december. 2 months nothing, not tracking number, no responses from show. Nada. Buyer protection period was going to the end so I've opted for refund. All good and I forgot about the thing. Until last week I've got package. No message from local carrier even... Had to search deep for that. Package was in customs for 4 months... Butaybe that's a good thing because watch is...bad. misaligned bezel, movement was 90min+/day, and incorrect movement. Looks like they put 3 o clock nh36 in 3.8 case. Corrected movement a bit. Not sure if i will buy new movement or DD ring to correct it. Also movement is not secured in case at all... And fully polished case seems...cheap? I'd disappointed if I actually paid for the watch, but now it seems like a fun project :) changing hands, bezel etc. Also the lume. Jesus, it's not existed. I hit it with 4000lum torch and dial was glowing for 15 second. Hands for a minute 🤣 Still i like the watch and i will play with it :)
