I would have bought it if it wasn't missing the 'spin dial'. Flagged POS.

Ya, but it has gold gears inside. However, they should be easy to crush with a hammer!!

Hoopla!

The spin dial is what makes a Rolex a Rolex.

No idea but since it dropped the value from $95 to $50 it must be an important part.

btw i think he was using "vintage" parlance... I think it was known as the "spin dial" in the 40's...Then it was renamed as part of a larger marketing scheme in the 60's to " time changing thingamabob".... Then in the 80's in a much lesser effective marketing strategy as the "side watch case tumor" It has a new name now but the name escapes me.. :)

Not only is the spin dial missing, but the crown is gone too.
