Forsinning does it again.....
We can all thank @Stricko for bringing this new and exciting brand to our collective attention. His NWA post detailing a recent acquisition of unparalleled horological brilliance is well worth a read... https://www.watchcrunch.com/Stricko/posts/nwa-got-me-a-tourbillon-35458
Today, I was lucky enough for the Amazon algorithm to highlight another of Forsinning's unique offerings.
They have ingeniously ignored all perception of common sense; thrown the design language book out of the nearest window, to come up with a watch that literally nobody was asking for.
I'll let the picture speak for itself, my inadequate words merely a distraction. Suffice to say the almost imperceptible fusion of traditional and contemporary watchmaking rendered me speechless...
...and all for a scarcely believable £36.99. Get your order in quickly as I expect there'll be a rush. I'll leave a link for your convenience.
A self-confessed Seikophile who spends far too much time looking at bits of watches under a microscope. Probably the finest restorer of vintage Seikos in my house. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/gasworks
I’m in “for sinning” everyday and twice on Sundays 😜
Thats the absolute cheapest Chinese movement they they sell. It will not have any lubrication and be lucky to last 6 months. The only way it will last is to have it serviced and lubricated. Its a story of form over function. The strap is worth more if you need a strap on another watch. Chinese movements are well designed but poorly built. I went that route a year ago and out of 6 movements only one is functional anymore.
Is there a long wait? How can I get moved up the list?9

If you read the blurb... the strap is leather!! Mesh leather... 🤣
Thanks for the mention, I'm always happy to help people make the 'informed' choice on their next purchase. OldSnafu mentions lack of lube, well I say lube's overated, a watch this good doesn't need it😉. Cheers.

I think the lack of lube is the least of its problems

Don’t waste lube on the watch, it should be saved for yourself
You will be glad you did when you get sinned on by ForSinning 👍
@Stricko Rob you should get one of these to start a proper collection of pure sinning goodness 😃🍻🤢🤮
My other watches will murder me in my sleep if I dare click that Amazon link. 😂
I really like my Forsining. You all know how rare it is someone actually goes out of their way to complement you about your watch, right? I’ve counted a half dozen folks who have complemented mine. One includes some young chick making me my drink at the Protein Foundry and another a young thick-haired dude drawing my blood for a BMP draw. Mine also keeps as good as time as any of my other automatics. So to me, my 40-something bucks was more than well spent. That’s the great thing about Watchcrunch though…you can like what you damn-well want and not have to apologize for it.

Unless it's a forgery of course. No excuse for those 😋

Now there's an idea 💡 they have a comprehensive range 🤪 (trouble is alexa is always grassing me up on the notifications to the family🤐)
Lube probably costs 4 x the value of the watch🤔
Another belter of a watch well spotted @GasWorks 👏🏻
Hmm I have a Chinese manual think same name going for 2 years and still works! I’m impressed still accurate time too. That’s because is not my main beater. Gonna test it out one day use it everyday and see how long it last.
