Lorus chronogrphs?

Saw this while browsing Amazon... Amazon.com: Lorus Chronograph Leather Strap Gents Sports Watch RF859DX9: Lorus: Watches

Looks like a sweet price for a Japanese movement, Seiko-spawn ($53 incl shipping). I can`t find much else about Lorus and UKSparkle seems an odd outfit. I`m trying to avoid an impulse buy, though another viewer may take an interest. Any thoughts?

Lorus is Seiko's entery / low price brand, good value for your money if you don't mind that they say Lorus instead of Seiko.

Thanks Wally, that's what I've been reading. No question the Seiko name trumps Lorus. The price of this really caught my eye, however. What seems to be similar quartz offerings by Seiko go for at least twice as much. It'll be a great deal for someone.
