It is basically an A-1 Auto (originally BBBB) with the "Turbine Spork" dial (or "UFO" dial, originally it was my intention to make a "UFO" watch and this dial was made for it).
The case and is patinaed, rather rough looking.
Because I personally modded this, and I am not a confident modder, plus the "patina" on the case and the bracelet, the price is rather low compared to other complete watches.
Oh, and on top of that, the dial is attached to the movement by Rodico blue sticky thing. It's staying there well, but if you don't like the sound of it, you might not want to buy this. But hey, it's very affordable, and a good base for modding, so why not? Maybe? It's a good deal!

1-Year Manufacturing Defects Warranty
I have been wearing one of the functioning prototypes for almost 6 months. So far, it's functioned with no problems, and I am confident that it would for at least the next 6 months.
The reason I made sure that it's specifically 1-Year warranty for "Manufacturing Defects" is that I believe that most of the people who have never utilized the warranty of a product don't realize that the warranty only covers Manufacturing Defects. Some watch brands offer a longer warranty, such as 5 years or 10 years—but by then, how would you know that your broken watch suffered a manufacturing defect, or normal wear-and-tear? And would you ever be able to convince the brand's customer service that it was indeed a manufacturing defect?
Their warranty doesn't cover wear-and-tear, or user error, and neither does this warranty. But I do think it is important to clarify that it is a warrant for manufacturing defects, instead of just issuing that it is a vaguely worded "warranty" which sounds like something that might cover something more than manufacturing defects. And 1 year is enough time to warrant manufacturing defects.
