Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas everyone

Finally received my Seagull 1963 Air Force Reissue, it was a impulse buy for me

As the name suggests, the design is paying homage for the first Chinese chronograph produced in 60s for the People's Liberation Army Air Force.


source: http://www.tractionink.com/watch_wiki/inde...Tianjin_Seagull

The dial is measuring 38mm (including crown), dial reads "19 jewels, China, Tianjin Watch Factory"


Red star with raised gold index


Signed crown, this is the only Seagull logo on the entire watch


Special request sapphire caseback. Decorated ST-19 manual wind non-hacking chrono movement, based on Venus 175.


A bit small on my wrist huh, should I keep it or sell it?


What I like:
- Reasonable priced
- Retro military look with matching nato
- Cream dial, red star, raised gold index, red chrono second hand

What I dislike:-
- Smallish in today's standard
- Red paint on the caseback blocking the clear view of the movement
- Questionable QC, chrono hand doesn't reset to zero in one of the three watches we received. (in the time of writing, replacement watch is on the way from the Hk seller)

p/s: pardon for the poor pictures, not enought sunlight today

Hello guys,

I'm getting interested with watch as age getting older, kidding...

With the budget below RM200,

Can I get any watch similar like this:




-Look simple
-Date display is not necessary
-Prefer Casio, Seiko, or other brand.


I know it's hard to get any branded watch with low budget. Just try some luck as someone could recommend me any.

get a seiko 5. dont expect much. pay peanuts get peanuts.

You can get Seiko 5 for less than RM200?

wilekiyo: Try this series also (its more than your budget by a bit) http://cgi.ebay.com/PARNIS-PI25-42MM-VINTA...=item4154e25f84

Bro Patryn,


Thanks for your source for my recent purchase from Watchseller.

wilekiyo: that is a nice timex!
And it's quartz too... easier to maintain and more accurate than mechanicals (like the seiko 5). But once you get yourself bitten by the real watch bug you'll want nothing but mechanicals.

Right now, go to the shops and test for yourself if you like these simple watches to be in the big 40+mm sizes or the more traditional sub 38mm sizes.

yijzen: Interesting. Greymarket seiko 5!

I go through ever corners of watchshops but I can't find any suitable RM<200 for myself as Christmas present. All atleast RM>250.

Scary isnt it what watches cost these days?

Sub RM100?

LOL ! Why above watch could be so cheap ?

Btw, the price of watch is unpredictable, RM200 is considered expensive for a watch as a college student. I really can't understand why my elder can spend up to 3k for a watch and still say it is cheap.

Your elders need to make themselves feel good.

Those watches in the ebay links are so cheap probably due to the very low grade materials used. I dont think they'll last but should survive your time in college.

Actually, you can find certain Casio edifice range of watches for about rm200. These will last and are actually pretty good time keepers. It's sales at the shops now isn't it?

How can we know whether its a normal luminova or tritium gas tube? blue lume means tritium??

Its 40% . Ended up with a RADO Sintra Black Ceramic =) I was only allowed to buy 1 watch a year =( but unlimited swatches so what the hell.. Haha... It was a good time. U in watch line i presume?

i own a casio watch for 7 years d and it still look like 7 days after i bought^^

These 2 Singapore sellers (might be the same people) sell the cheapest Seikos from what I have seen. Need to bid with other buyers, though. The cheaper Seiko 5s regularly end up less than RM200. Very high turnover. Got my 38mm military 5s for about RM190s each.

from the 1st page hierachcy, it seems that mechanical watches are more expensive (higher range) than quartz right?
