    This one, and I still have it. I already liked watches, knew nothing about them. I wanted a mechanical watch and liked this one. Didn't even know it was Chinese at the time.
    It did start off my love for watches.

    My first. I thought it was ironic to find a Chinese watch with a Swiss movement (ETA 2878).



    I bought my first fully Chinese watch, a 7120, from the same seller at the same time.



    I liked them both enough to buy a few more Chinese watches since.
    My collection of Vintage Chinese Mechanicals can be seen at myvcms.com

    I'd have to say that is one of the better looking ones they have made. Nice choice.
