Description
High-Speed Empire: Chinese Expansion and the Future of Southeast AsiaThe story of the world's most audacious infrastructure project. Less than a decade ago, China did not have a single high speed train in service. Today, it owns a network of 14,000 miles of high speed rail, far more than the rest of the world combined. Now, China is pushing its tracks into Southeast Asia, reviving a century old colonial fantasy of an imperial railroad stretching to Singapore; and kicking off a key piece of the One Belt One Road
The story of the world's most audacious infrastructure project.Less than a decade ago, China did not have a single high-speed train in service. Today, it owns a network of 14,000 miles of high-speed rail, far more than the rest of the world combined. Now, China is pushing its tracks into Southeast Asia, reviving a century-old colonial fantasy of an imperial railroad stretching to Singapore; and kicking off a key piece of the One Belt One Road initiative, which has a price tag of $1 trillion and, reaches inside the borders of more than 60 countries.
The Pan-Asia Railway portion of One Belt One Road could transform Southeast Asia, bringing shiny Chinese cities, entire economies, and waves of migrants where none existed before. But if it doesn't succeed, that would be a cautionary tale about whether a new superpower, with levels of global authority unimaginable just a decade ago, can pull entire regions into its orbit simply with tracks, sweat, and lots of money. Journalist Will Doig traveled to Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore to chronicle the dramatic transformations taking place -- and to find out whether ordinary people have a voice in this moment of economic, political, and cultural collision.

Zero customer service, doesn’t keep time.
Color: 6633: Black band & black dial
Looks nice. Doesn’t work.
This watch does not keep time. You’ll be resetting it constantly, and every time you do, the poorly placed dials end up shifting the date too.
The design is impractical. The buttons and dials get bumped during normal, everyday use, which throws everything off again. The date display is also extremely hard to read, especially if you have even minor vision issues.
The glow feature? Never worked at all.
As for the warranty, don’t count on it. The seller is unreachable, and the listed phone number is out of service. I even purchased an extended warranty, only to find out it’s useless until the original 24-month warranty expires, which you can’t even use in the first place.
Bottom line: this is a good-looking piece of junk. Save your money.

Readability
Color: 6633: Black band & black dial
It is a beautful and heavy watch with interesting dial components. I'm not sure how it can claim to be self-winding, when it requires manual turning every 1-2 days. Biggest disappointment for me is readability. It has no backlighting, so it needs hands with more contrast and more luminescent surface, neither of which it posesses. So, it is practically useless in low light situations... a daytime device at best.
