Bang For Your Buck

I just received this Spechte & Sohne Nautilus homage from AliExpress. The cost was $43. This for a watch with a Seiko quartz movement, stainless steel case, and sapphire crystal. I will say that up until a few weeks ago, I was ignorant regarding Patek Philipe watches. I knew the brand name of course, and that their watches were extravagantly expensive, making ownership of a genuine Patek out of the question. But an affordable homage? It was never my intent to seek one out, but I came across this while I was browsing AliExpress, liked the look of it, the reported specs, and the price, of course. It wasn't a hard decision to green light the purchase. Ten days later I have it on my wrist. The fit and finish of this watch is very good, and I keep saying to myself "Man! $43! Where is the profit margin there?" A very nice looking watch in my estimation, and a big winner in the bang for your buck category. What do you think?
