That is a current 1963 re-issue which is sourced from Sea-Gull directly...

Ed an asianwatchforum regular is sourcing these from Sea-Gull HK and they are coming with papers from Sea-Gull.

The Sea-Gull ST19 powers the watch and is an awesome handwound column wheel chronograph. They are coming out with this watch in a 40mm size and I will probably snag one of those at one point. While this one is 38mm it does get time in the rotation. I have had 4 1963s now and 1 was an original.

As I mentioned I owned an original 1963 until recently:

I'm also a fan of this M192S Chronograph which also finds time in the rotation:

Plus you can admire the ST19 movement whenever I want to:

Sea-Gull makes some beautiful watches and like Seiko they are an affordable watch with "in-house" movements. The ST19 in the chronographs are cool because they are the direct descendent of the Venus 175 which Tianjin Sea-Gull bought from Venus to put into the original 1963 Air Force watch. Very cool!

I used to be Sea-Gull Canada so I can chat with you about Sea-Gull until the cows come home.

While this is not a Sea-Gull it does have a Sea-Gull ST8000 movement in it. One day I would like to buy a dual Tourbillon Sea-Gull. :P

Not sure what you guys think of an affordable Tourbillon. Is that an oxymoron?

I guess I could have contributed in the Omega forum but most of my pieces don't fit the mold around here. I do think you could put a Grand Seiko forum in though. Many thanks to Zack for another amazing and smooth transaction. Much appreciated... It fits i...

It was too small when it came so I threw on the extra links that came with it. Was slightly too loose. Thought I might need to buy a half link or something to change out a full link for a half link. Just looked over the watch and found a half link already...

where are you located?

We don't often see this beauty, here! Congrats, and Welcome aboard. Looking forward to hear more from you, Best. Nicolas

Yes, the burgundy lacquer dial is marvelous! Funnily, this is the second time ...

... for me to see this watch presented as a new acquisition within three days. On a German online forum, a member presented this watch (on the burgundy-red rubber strap, though, and expressed his affection for it. Regards, Marcus

Congrats! I really like the MMD!

By: dxboon : June 5th, 2010-00:05

It's a great pickup! The dial is a fun, fresh color also. Just an all around handsome watch! I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing pictures of your collection. I know there would be many PuristS who'd be excited about a Seiko forum (myself included). Ch...

Seiko forum?

By: Zoodles95 : June 5th, 2010-08:00

Thanks for the kind words. As for a Seiko forum... It would obviously have to have limitations to fit into the mandate of this forum. It would be weird to have people discussing Seiko 5s on a Seiko forum while people are discussing a $150000 plus Lange To...

Absolutely NOT weird!!!! ....

By: Marcus Hanke : June 5th, 2010-09:01

I am very sorry that our community caused the impression that inexpensive watches are not tolerated or discussed here, which is wrong. True is, that they are not the dominant topic, but we had highly interesting threads, and even articles on G-Shocks, var...

Thanks Markus...

By: Zoodles95 : June 5th, 2010-09:08

Thanks for the clarification Markus. I obviously need to spend more time checking out the forums on here. As for Grand Seikos, well, they opened up a Seiko Boutique here in Toronto, Canada and you can buy Grand Seikos there. What is weird though is that t...

Hi there!

By: dxboon : June 5th, 2010-12:22

I actually think it's really important that we don't lose sight of the fact that honestly made "affordable" (affordable is different for everyone obviously) watches are worthy of discussion as well -- watches like the Seiko 5s. While the majority of discu...

Welcome and thanks for presenting your beauties ....

By: Marcus Hanke : June 5th, 2010-09:05

Is this the Seagull Chinese Air Force chronograph sitting on the top of the box? Do you wear it frequently? How do you like it? For me, it is a highly tempting Chinese timepiece, due to its "honesty". Regards, Marcus
