$28 Kessaris Bay Find

[phr0stbyte]

Just won the bidding for this - maybe my first project watch. The description did not say if it was working or not. It just said "untested". Face and case look in good condition, so for $28 dollars, it is a fair gamble. I will use this thread to journal my finding once it arrives. Kind of excited!

Hello phr0stbyte, you had some luck on ebay then. Well done. Has it arrived and how you getting on with it. Looks possibly Chinese in origin.

You can ask for members advice before you buy horology stuff.

Check prices on amazon on this and most other chinese watches.

Good luck pal

It definitely is Chinese. I have it here and it actually runs without having to do anything with it. I am still thinking on what to do with it, but am working on modding a Seiko 5 I already own right now. I will probably just use the movement in that watch for something, as I think the watch is pretty ugly. I will use it as my first movement tear down, service, reassemble. I was not really in buying the watch as a watch, but more as learning material.
