Louis Ardens Ribera Men's Watch

Good value...Well made...keeps good time..BUT (butt?) it is NOT a Moon Phase watch. This watch simply shows a picture of the moon during night hours and an asian style sun during daylight hours.

This is an exceptionally well made, high quality watch at an unbeatable price, easily mistaken for far more expensive timepieces with designer pretensions . The case is stainless steel, it's comfortable on the wrist and exudes quality, prompting questions from everyone who has noticed it - and most people do .

Saw this watch in Amazon site, immediately spotted the watch movement, definitely Asian clone automatic movement with the design of the open heart. Made by Liaocheng CH-ML7102, a bit of a watch nerd, I admit. Fairly priced, the movement cost roughly $15-20, and adding the cost of stainless steel block, glass I think is scratch-prone, and a leather belt, and put a 10% profit margin without the extravagant advertisement and doing away with SWISS MADE packaging, £43 is considered a honest deal. Now the cruz, the movement offers a fine piece of time keeping machine, clocking +8sec per day (refence against atomic time) for a automatic self-winding, which one can only get from a €500-700 piece of Swiss automatic time piece. This little clone can fight easily with any ETA movements, or UNITAS, or the most expensive Valjoux time machines. I shall update if it stands the test of time.
