Shanghai 581 homage with Han indices
Hanzi was almost never used for indices on VCMs, and never on the A-581/A611 style watches, so this circa 2012 Shanghai licensed homage to the old style 581 pieces is "fantasy vintage".
These photos from an earlier shoot (different strap) show the original 6401movement code on the (January 1964) A-581 non-shockproof movement used in the re-issue.
