Nailed it in one! This is a hallmark, almost a patent of the TMI caliber VD5* line of movements. Which is why I have a sneaking suspicion Bro. Dan may have misidentified his as a Miyota.

Wow. Tough question! - 11 months ago
Mind you, at first I thought "Piece of cake!" and considered just choosing at random. I fancy that my tastes are obscure enough that, discounting the Casio and Timex and a few other pieces that I treasure precisely because they are sort of 'Everyman's Watches', you'd have precious little chance of finding the Man On The Street wearing any of them. But then you threw in that.. QuoteDJM ..whiby Anonymous User - Poor Man's Watch Forum

'cause I'm nearly ready to cave right now! QuoteDJM Red Line makes a series that look like a pretty good PM alternative to the Jenny. You know, I've had my eye on the brand for a while. They make some very interesting and appealing watches (IMHO! ), and they're certainly affordable.

..I've made some rather extensive updates to my watch blog over the last couple of weeks. Frankly, I haven't tested these changes as thoroughly as I usually do and could use some in finding potential broken hyperlinks, orphaned image tags, etc. There's bound to be a few. So take a look, please, if you have some time to spare. These are the major additions: Alpha Bond Alpha Bondby Anonymous User - Poor Man's Watch Forum

My first Official watch purchase of 2012 - 1 year ago
This is one of those watches whose initial attraction for me was simply that the marque was on my WIShlist. That being said, it also strikes a number of other chords with me, and when Bro.
