are U getting on sapphire or acrylic crystal? I understand sapphire isn't orginal
the black is stunning! are u getting it on display back? i know its not original. Seagull 1963, Sapphire crystal, glass case back - US$223 (shipped to USA, to asia I think its cheaper by US$5) http://forums.watchuseek.com/f72/my-first-...3-a-473435.html  found the thread http://forums.watchuseek.com/f72/seagull-1...tly-420653.html QUOTE Seagull 1963 Reissue Available from Seagull HK Directly I contacted Seagull HK directly a week or two ago, and apparently, they have the Seagull 1963 reissue available for direct order. I got in contact with Thomas at Seagull HK through their contact page: http://www.seagullhk.com/english/contact.asp and was quoted $180 for the watch, $15 for shipping to the US, and $8 if I wanted the display caseback instead of the solid caseback. If there is interest on the forum, we could perhaps see if they are willing to negotiate a smaller per unit price for a large bulk order.

on sapphire and glass back! thats sweet.
I understand to stay true to the original watch its on acrylic crystal and steel back and smaller in ~37mm. is yours 39mm or 42mm. I read that on the read. seem like there are a few sizes. are they LE too? to 200 pieces? This post has been edited by patryn33: Nov 27 2010, 10:33 AM |

Ya man, am confusing myself too.
According to Thomas, it is 38mm with acrylic crystal. ST19 is not a big movement anyway. But does it matter?  Those LE sold out long time ago, it was USD490 per piece then. The sapphire back just add another USD8 ; it is a steal! Was quoted ~RM600 for my speedy sapphire back from Swatch  This post has been edited by ck77: Nov 27 2010, 10:37 AM |

I also read there are 19 zuan and 21 zuan.
iirc the 19 are ST19 the 21 are ST21 or is it ST25? forgive I know very little about ST movements. |

Yes, if the repair cost is too high, might as well get a new watch, unless sentimental value exist. Alternatively, bring back to the shop you bought the watch from, ask them to send on your behalf.

I think the current HK Seagull '1963 reissue' are not authorized versions.
The first true chinese airforce chronograph was released 1965. Seagull currently offers a limited edition reissue. http://www.usseagull.com/EnProductShow.asp?ClassID=81&ID=107 Someone already has one here: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f72/tianjin-s...ics-462781.html  The original from the 60s?:  I like that logo. Did it inspire Starfleet's? |
