Been Having Some Fun With Ochstin Watches

Can anyone else spot the problem? I have purchased two Ochstin watches recently, as they are $25 or less on AliExpress. The field watch on the right has a few minor issues, but it has actually been working great and has kept fairly accurate time. The 24 hour dial on the left is pretty funny, and I didn't mind spending $25 to get it, even though it is worthless to tell the time accurately. 😂🤣😂🤣

Is this about the hand alignment on the 24 hour? Otherwise I'm stumped.

Yes, it is a 24 hour dial with a 12 hour movement! 🤣

Ouch, in a way it means you don't have to retrain to read a 24 hour dial, as you can ignore the number marks and go by traditional position, but the missing functionality kind is a gyp.

Oh, I know it is not really a functional watch, or at best, a library watch with a picture. I bought it as a lark. Ochstin also produces an homage of the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, but without the date hand. 🤣 Half Past Blog did a review of it on his Youtube channel, and that was what got Ochstin on my radar. They are really inexpensive. I paid $25 each for these two, and these are automatic. Their quartz models are even less.

I got myself the GA2028B from them, apparently a Hamilton homage. Issues: band too long (at least could do with another keeper), date window too smll or too far back, power reserve seems very short - needs a good wind to begin with.
