That is front and back views of the same watch. GaGa watches are fairly high quality for fashion pieces. The same basic movement is used in a lot of very good watches.

That's expensive, call me when we get a anime-theme watch that cost about the equivalent of this Rolex watch. |

Hand-made and unique watches usually cost in that range, but they also usually have interesting gimmicks and brand new movement construction. But there's also the factor of having a limited number produced. A typical Rolex may cost 8 grand and up, but they pump out a million of those things a year so there's no rarity.
Cool stuff though, I love when pop culture and horology combine. Hope someone gets it on video for a review.
Was it some base ETA movement? What other pieces is it used in? I do agree about them looking like a fashion brand, after googling their images. Too bad it's not one of the more funky an hip but still admired watch companies out there. |

It's an ETA 6497 or 6498 depending on the crown position. Used in low price watches like Glycine to more expensive like Panerai. I have a modified version in a Chronoswiss Timemaster.

As someone who works on watches color me un-impressed.
Yeah it kind of looks neat design wise in all my years never seen this brand come through the doors. Plus the price is in line with what that brand charges but totally not worth what they are asking. Should easily cost no more than 1200-1500 USD for what you get and that's with the branding mark up included. After doing some additional research the dam thing has a mineral crystal are you freaking kidding me? All the other models come with sapphire but this one they went all cheap on the glass? For them they could get sapphire at about 50 dollars or less per unit easily since they can buy in bulk. Plus the fact the crown is at the 12' o clock position more of a case of style over function I guess they make you have to take off the watch to set it and wind the movement. Following up on that nobody likes hand wound watches anymore. It's a pain in the ass to wind it ever 24 hours and the fact a watch winder won't wind it for you. Then their is no mention if the crown is screw done or a regular pull out. Their is no such thing as a water proof crystal the watch can be water resistant up to a certain depth based on the design of the watch. I'm tired of all these Evangelion themed watches being super over priced for the EVA logo's or whatever on them. If it was me I would just get a watch that a Anime or Manga character wears that exists in real life and be done with it. |

Honestly, I'm not that impressed with the look. If anything the colors and wacky numbers made me think for a moment that it was a watch based on the Joker (from Batman). Green and purple were his colors if I recall correctly.

Looks like something you'd see in Austin Powers.
