Junk or Junkers - saw this in a department store

[MrE]

As the title says - saw this in a department store and wanted to share it with you guys. What do you think?

 

[PlanetZoom]

Not bad for the price.

 

[Vesire]

Junkers and Zeppelin are nice affordable bauhaus watches with cool design.
if you like german Junghans, Junkers offers similar design way cheaper

 

[Thrasher]

I love it, And would wear it in a second! Just looked them up on the net...excellent price point. Beautiful watch!

Junkers was actually a very well respected engine and aircraft manufacturer in the early part of the 1900s. They produced some of the world's most innovative airplanes at the time. The aircraft company went defunct in the late 60s but it seems this company is capitalizing on the legacy of the name's aviation lineage to sell Pilot watches.

By the way the 6086-5 with the visible price tag is not badly priced but you can get it for more than 20% less at Amazon (RMB2130). Even if you factor in shipping to China (I only guess because of the pricing) it would still be cheaper

Yeah I’m not questioning their history or significance, I was just joking about looking down and seeing junk on my wrist. Lol

Well in slang seeing "junk" on your wrist would be awkward and strange.

Again, For What It's Worth: I believe "Junkers" in German is pronounced "Younkers." Just my .02.

Lol those are hideous! There is a rip-off of every major watch brand/style on that site.

Is that a cream dial ?

 

[MrE]

Is that a cream dial ?

Yes, that’s a cream dial. Makes it look a bit retro in my eyes.

 

[sogeha]

similar or possibly the same watch for $69 shipped. The second Watch is also available with a number of different names at much less cost

I see what you did there
