I got lost in the initial pages of the thread. Not that I'm expecting much from a 49.99 watch, but is it junk? The normal price and the now price just set off that common sense alarm.

I agree. It does have a sapphire crystal and it is a Swiss Movement. The components were probably all put together in China but they did use first quality parts and did a great job in the assembly. The watch is heavy, but it is well made and has nice finish work. I have a couple of the Aficionado's and I have no complaints about them. I have received several compliments on them.
The butterfly deployment clasp is nice and has held up well. As I understand, the screw back is also a plus because that increases water resistance.
I have seen watches at Walmart for $40 and they do not even come close to these in quality.
I do not know how they can sell them so cheap, but for what I have gotten so far, I really do not care.
Perhaps HirarmRanger can shed some light on the price points?
Guys do not seem to wear watches these days....they just look at their phone. I think I am going to stick with a nice watch.
