This is the 17J version of Dongmei, my second Dongmei. The first one being a 20 jewels the post of which is here; that 20J has the model number of 1701 whilst this 17J is 7701.
Like the dial of my Dongfeng (here), under intense lighting, the semingly simple dial reflects the lights from its metallic surface emitting sense of classic and when stared long it as if could bring the beholder back to the era during which it was made. Noted also that the logo on the dial as well as the cursive Dongmei below it is different between the 20J and this 17J. Inside is a clean 17J standard movement without factory code nor date code.
