Nice info Patryn. Most probaly will look in Guinand Series 20. Like the design...

May i know each of you owned how many timepiece?
*
+1 to Guinand 20 series, one of the most affortable ETA7750 out there. The only concern for me is the smallish 38.4mm size.

my bro said the customs officer called him saying that you need to be charged RM85 in order for the item to enter malaysia =.=

Watches are tax free in malaysia. Unless the parcel include other taxable item. i.e. leather goods

does it have superluminova ? coz it doesnt mention there unlike higher priced models with swiss movements.. did u mean i can specifically request that i don wan the logo dial and the transparent back case ? coz i don like the miyota, japan, 21 jewels wordings as shown in the picture..

thanks again !
*
Yes with superluminova. I think the option is only with or without logo dial, the transparent case back is standard for Miyota version.
But no harm asking them laugh.gif

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

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.

QUOTE
In 1961 the Ministry for Light Industry received the order to develop a new 'aviator's watch' for the People's Liberation Army Air Force. This was designated Project 304. Around this time a seconds-only chronograph version of the ST-2A was prototyped, but it did not enter production. The Venus Watch Company, Switzerland, were wanting to offload the calibre 175 chronograph tooling to raise capital for development of their calibre 188. The USSR were not interested, but the Chinese were. The 175 was purchased for Project 304. By October 1965, the third test batch were completed and submitted to the Ministry and Air Force for approval, which was passed in December. By May the following year, 1400 chronograph watches had been delivered to pilots of the PLAAF.

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?
user posted image

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 blink.gif

Not really, some quartz are more expensive than mechanical.

Happy to have come across this thread, lots of useful information here.

I was planning to make the move in January from my ol' faithful G Shock (4 years of drops, knocks and weekly swimming) to a mechanical watch.

Coming here, I just realized that learning about this stuff is like learning a new bloody language !

Now probably have to postpone for at least 2 months, just so that I don't appear to be completely clueless when I go to the dealer shops.  doh.gif

Anyways, thanks to the pros here for sharing ! notworthy.gif
