    ETA inside , still unsure whether the 'swizz' have their movements made in China as a few are now fitting. Could be , almost deffo perhaps, that the market responds better to a none home named movement. Beijing are now fitting from elsewhere too , could again be made in China, who knows.

    These are nice btw

    This might be the first dress watch I wouldn't mind snatching. Or a rock gig watch, depending on how you look at it.

    Ismy, TBH I don't know where I could be more specific -- even the thread's title itself basically says it all. (I didn't qualify it positively as 'Chinese brand with original designs' because I think some of them -- eg Sea-Gull? correct me if I'm wrong -- have a mix of original and copied designs, and I want to keep it simple and not to turn into a full-time private eye: you do rip-offs, you're out of my list).

    And to answer your specific question: modern, not vintage.
    just when you said rip of design and such like to me could not see where you was coming from as saskwatch said in his post "I can't think of any brand, Chinese or otherwise, which doesn't incorporate preexisting design elements in their watches. "

    but then the one you list is nice and not cheap being limited to 50pcs per type ...

    if I was going to start with modern ones as I said early I would look here as their are all sorts and price points from £30 to over £500 pound ones

    When looking for a Chinese watch, I want to minimise the risk of unknowingly buying one that copies the looks of something else.
    Perhaps a good starting point
