Just found this funky montres Allison at a thrift store for 7$ I’m all over cheap and quirky watches so exciting find, quick google search reveals interesting history behind this brand but seems they’ve moved to higher end tourbillon movements/cases. Seems like earlier models were cheap “Frankenstein” builds with various cheap parts. Any info on it’s appreciated, don’t care what it’s worth but if anyone knows what movements inside/where it was made it would be much appreciated!
Ugly but funny. Enjoy it !
Will do! Can’t decide if I want to stick with the gaudy faux crocodile strap or go to a more lowkey black band lol
It is a cool looking watch, wish I could find cheap and interesting watches in my local thrift stores
I normally find no name quartz watches if any at all, so to find a unique automatic and an older pulsar was a win in my book!
Never I have I ever, thrifted a quartz watch that worked, which includes a Pulsar. I can relate.
If I really couldn’t wait to afford a FM then I’d fuck with this. looks good OP, enjoy!
If you like it, then it’s a good watch for you. $7 for a watch that you like is a great deal no matter who made it. Glad you like your watch.
This looks like a hoot, and definitely I’d pay $7 for it, too. Fun find!
That is awesome! Good find
cool! love the pop of yellow
I would rock the shit out of that watch, awesome score.
One of these sold on eBay a month ago for $199 so I’d say it was worth it regardless.
$199 is insane for a $15 chinese watch lmao
I has a Franck Muller vibe. Very nice.
I remember when that dude was trying to pass off his watches as high end made in USA. He was so full of crap!
Haha that’s the history I was curious about! How he switched his business to what it is today is beyond me. Wish there was more info online. Happy cake day!
Yup! Boy this brought back memories. 20 years ago we used to roast this stuff for being ugly, poorly-made ripoffs. I had completely forgotten about that name.
Beautiful watch. Great find.
If we were at a party, I'd ask you about it.
It’s funky, loud, very yellow, and $7. Run it
Very neat looking watch.
Nice homage.Def a great deal.
