I have one just like this. You can't tell from the photo, but Chairman Mao's arm waves when the watch is running. It was a present, I have no idea how much it cost, but I'd be shocked if it was over $10 US.

Nowadays, its just very subtle differences like that, that distinguish a genuine piece from a replica.

On a side note, i also ordered one of those Chairman Mao pocket watches, not because i support Communism but i thought it was cool how his arms are waving to you and pointing out the time.
