You can get it for less than that. And OP, the movement is from Seiko, and better than what's in their low-end watches for some reason. I kind of wish there were just Seikos, Invicta's just awful with some of the worst customer service out there.

Yes. No. Maybe.
It all depends on the watch and what kind of condition it is.
Also watches that require winding (be it self-winding or handwinding) aren't exclusive to old timey watches, 90% of what's posted in the watch threads is like that.

Plastic is self-lubricating and thus makes an excellent material for a component undergoing frequent rotation like that.

seiko 5 casebacks are not acrylic and have never been acrylic. when the main crystal was acrylic, the caseback was closed and stainless. anybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of how to determine what a material is would be able to tell that the seiko 5 caseback is not acrylic. seeing as you're basically just a professional internet attention whore retard, I guess that's too much for you to handle.

not really. I mean for the rather low price, probably yes. Long battery life, any function you want in a watch, EL, but I personally don't like gold painted plastic cases or plastic cases in general. the crystal is plastic too. you get scratches easily with those. it just makes no sense to me that they give you a metal bracelet but the watch itself and its case is resin. that's borderline stupid. typical of Casio.

here is a short blurb from the very forum you frequent


Hardlex is a Seiko proprietary type of hardened mineral crystal and comes in at least two different varieties (what goes in Seiko 5's is not the same quality of what goes into ISO divers). Hardlex is closer to 7 in the Moh's scale, but is much more flexible than sapphire. IOW's sapphire is harder but more brittle. Hardlex will scratch easier but resists impact much better. You can read more about Hardlex and the different types of it here:
