Great review of a really cheap mechanical watch. On the video I have to say that it looks nice. It does make one wonder how they can make these so cheap.
I ordered one of these, and sadly, it arrived DOA. It moved for a couple seconds, then stopped. I shook the heck out of it, I wound it, I really tried. I also owned a Winner skeleton automatic, and that one admittedly worked okay, but it felt super cheap, and the gold tone was terrible. I sold it. A 50/50 track record isn't great. I love a bargain, but I don't think I'll ever buy another Winner.
Well done for giving this watch a full review and a fair chance 👍. In its defence, there are many much more expensive watches using versions of the Tongji. I bought a Seizenn/Merkur with hand winding Tongji (they claim it is ¨in house¨ ) It seemed OK to start, and looked OK on the timegrapher, but after 3 months there was 80 seconds difference between dial up/down! I cleaned and re-oiled it, but no luck so I binned it and installed a vh31.
I did a bit of housekeeping, bought a coffee leather 2 part Zulu ringer for my Tandorio dirty dozen, was wearing my Parnis sterile batman GMT but sitting here deciding whether to wear my sterile Bliger 007 or my noob Planet Ocean then changed direction and put on one of my Vostok Amphibia's :D

I'd like to see a best and worst of the year vid. How bout it? 😏
I bought the blue one, so far so good. If I wound it and let it sit it would stop. I've been wearing it for 3 days and it's right time for me.
I got the Pepsi put it on a blue strap. And it’s a great beater.

Thank you for your review, pity that it has such awful bracelet. The Tongji movement is a hit or miss.
Would a nh 35 fit?
I don't know. I really don't tinker a lot.
