Would you buy one of these "FrankenSeikos" from India? 🇮🇳
I've heard they're made of real parts just mixed up and refurbished with "local market straps?"
I don't want to support fakes but real parts remixed seems okay. And the look is incredible for $40USD

Most of those dials are fake, hands and cases as well. Questionable movements and maybe sometimes original caseback.
So no, I wouldn't buy one. It's just a low quality fake.

Ah dang, thanks for the heads up.
Can't see how you can get genuine parts in a $40 fake.

I thought maybe they were from batches of old, broken authentic stock the seller bought in bulk and cannibalized for working parts. *shrugs*
I have purchased a few. They're ok for what they are and I enjoy them. I have always purchased ones with what appear to be proper dials with appropriate hands and not the printed or painted type.
I guess for peanuts relatively, if you like a design, why not?
Hope it goes well if you do. 👍
Long as you know what you are buying I can't see a problem.
Honestly I would.. might not wear it but i would buy it for the memory. So 10 years from now i look at it and remember the day i saw this fake red dial when i was in india
Bought one years ago.
Utter shite.
It'll last all day , if you are lucky!! 🤣

Nope
I would rather french kiss a skunk than buy one of these

Coincidentally I'm waiting on a HMT Janata PARA SHOCK to get shipped to me from Maharashtra. Do you have any memories of those?
It was the most cost effective way to get something with an Arabic numeral dial, which I wanted.
I have (several times !) and I regret it. These watches look good but feel nothing like the original. Keep your money and indulge yourself with a proper watch.
