Bit big for my wrist but will get a battery in it and use it as a daily. Never had a Lige or know much about them, anyone know the model?

    Nice catch! I’m not familiar with Lige, but looks like most people mentioning them in Youtube comments say they are surprisingly good for their price range.

      From my limited research and looking over the watch, they are a low end Chinese watch manufacture (sub £50), Lige watches seem to sell second hand for £20 on eBay. On this piece I have, they have used cost cutting measures like using folded sheet steel for the links, the date magnifying glass is misaligned, the dive ring is misaligned and the movement used is a Chinese mass produced quartz, I am not sold on the body being steel as it seems to be chromed. But all in all it is a watch and will keep accurate time.

    I don’t know anything about Lige but I’m loving it in Coca-Cola / anarcho-communist colors. So cool, looks awesome. I think Fidel had his Rolex in this color.

    The only thing I do know about this model is that you can rotate the outer rim to be in accordance with a different timezone, so you can always immediately have the time in two places at once.

    I don’t know this model but looks beautiful! Take it for a service on your local store and should be ready to wear it.

      I’ve already opened it up, plastic gears and no jewels so seems like a junker fashion piece. Still nice but wouldn’t be worth a professional service
