[Chinese Movement thread]-[ST19 Chrono]- News, Talks, Pics!
Hmm... after such a long period in this forum, as well as others, i see that more and more folks acceptance to Chinese Chrono movement are growing in numbers. So... i guess the time is right in starting a thread about the most popular and talked about Chinese Chrono movement, the SEAGULL ST19.

Lets talk, share news on new releases, and share your hoot here!

Bring in the 梁山英雄 lah!

Nice..



Very popular movement, affordable manual winding, column wheel engine...

I prefer the one with black dial and orange decorations. Very sexy.

The blue dial one is nice as well... however... look kind of TAG HEUER homage...

Chronographs by LAMBERTI from ITALY, using movements not mad
Though Chrono movements not made by SEAGULL, they're column wheel as well... priced from 310eu ~ 410eu.

I would imagine the Chinese would be more than capable to manufacture' very fine watches & calibers , i think many great watches will be made in China in the near future ;)

Personally not a fan of the ST19 movements being used outside of the Seagull brand. (As I do not think the movements are sold like ETA or the Swiss ones, just IMHO) As I prefer to know that the movements are checked before being sold. I prefer to stick with the actual brand for any Seagull movements.



Caseback which is beautiful







2013 Reissue Panda Dials 42mm















Previous Reissue of the 1963 - 38mm (currently on oversize NATO) with a more pronounced dome.

[size=133]LATEST UPDATE- PRE-ORDER STARTS LIAO!![/size]

Q: What are the Pre-Order Terms?

A: During the Pre-Order Period, payments will only be accepted via PayPal so that we can refund 100% of your payment if need be (see more below).

Option 1: $475 – 50% Deposit ($237.50) now and pay $237.50 plus shipping pre-delivery. Make a deposit on two or more and your price is $446.50 each plus shipping.



Option 2: $450 plus shipping when you Pre-Pay in Full. Buy two or more and each is only $423. You will be notified about shipping charges when we are ready to ship.



Serial Number Requests: To request a specific serial number you must pre-pay in full. Serial numbers will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each color will have one (1) of each number, so there will be two (2) of each number available. EDIT - Serial numbers will only be available when you pre-pay, not when making a deposit on two. Sorry for the change.



After the Pre-Order period Regular Retail Pricing will be $550.



A certain amount cheaper than the ITALIAN brand LAMBERTI, but still, this is a private label...

Do you mean your individual maker is using chinese movements or st19 for the regulator?

To those who wish to own a piece of the ST19 with Moonphase.
...and wouldn't want to make purchase thru online sellers due to warranty concerns...

Pop by CityChain and lookout for a "ST19" powered piece from the SOVIL et TITUS range, that's priced @ $890, and comes with additional 20% off discount.

That shall works out to be a little above 700 with local warranty by the CC group.



So... for "noobs", what to look out?





The subdial @ 12, is a 31 day counter.

The subdial @ 3, is 30min chrono timer.

The subdial @ 6, is a 29.5days rotation moonphase.

The subdial @ 9, is a regular 60 seconds dial.

The chronograph hand, is the one in the center.

Ironically after discount these Sovil Et Titus watches are actually cheaper than Seagull chronograph moon phase....

If compared to what SEAGULLUSA and SEAGULLSG offer... definitely much lower.

However if compare to those online sellers which I had pointed out earlier... the price of the SeT could cost 2 blue bills or more...



Anyway... my guess is that these SeT ST19 Moonphase models may have been produced for a certain time, but the market is so "saturated" with earlier SEAGULL as well as other Named ones, that they may have to hold back whatever they produced so that they can grab attentions again... after all... in local market, majority of the buyers are not "WIS" and I bet, most of them don't even know what's good or bad with the Chinese movement. Just the initial impression on "Tiong" movement makes some turn their head away liaoz...

Must register to be member to order. No customizing option before clicking "order". Somemore i noticed that there's no PayPal payment channel, even though they mentioned they have eNets. I sent the link to one of my female colleague who always shop with TaoBao. See how la...

That price really hard to resist.
