Yeshe Turbocharged February 13, 2012 Share February 13, 2012 Hv you guys heqrd of seagull. Its a chinese company that makes movements and watches. More than 10 yrs ago my sister bought a watch resembling a patek calatrava from shanghai. It was a Seagull. Very elegant and fairly well made for its price i think $10 or $20. Lately i saw a Seagull boutique at ppls park. It has some complications model and if i am not wrong even torbillon. Pretty cool and cheap although i know i wont likely buy one. yes, they have tourbillion. in fact not cheap, going around 10k if i dun remember wrongly when i last saw it in a boutique in china. their normal range goes for around $200 to 1k, i dun think u can get it at $10-20 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic February 13, 2012 Share February 13, 2012 hi maybe can share with us your criteria for selecting the watch? do you prefer strap or bracelet? bigger dial or smaller dial? daily or weekend wear? office or outdoor? ease of resale? (i have a fried who bought rolex because of its resale value, not because he like it ) personally I like Pam and between 111 and 312, I'll go with 312 - 3 days power reserve, 1950s case, in-house movement. if I were to get a rolex i'll go for the explorer II white face, again personal preference. the sub is too common nowadays. suggest you go to a boutique try on the watches and see which one you truly like, one that you will enjoy wearing and admiring it all the time. by the way all the watches you mentioned are quite sought after so no worries about resale value should you decide to let go later... or be like me, wear the sub , explorer, daydate, datejust all on croco strap.... stand out in a crowd., heh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard SeaGull produces pretty solid movements for many companies worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi tks for suggestion. actually no criteria in selection and wearing it (be it for work or weekend... see mood). Seen/surfed many brands and finally narrow down to the 4 cos i like them most amongst the others i saw (actually still got others like franck muller, corum, etc but dun want to think of them anymore) I like pam for the size, sandwich dial, back display case, shiny polish bezel. But im very rough careless person. .likely going for explorer II for now (better withstanding rough usage). unless come across any good price offer in sgroc for the other 3 choices :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegimented case, unique look. But its a b&b movement and brand not as atas as those u mentioned. Price much cheaper too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BNIB price is very decent if u can get 6k or below. The cheapest preown i remember seeing was $5.2k. if u wanna go for exp2, i suggest the discon model becos the new model is overrated and its selling at a premium now. alternatively, u can go for omega PO if u wanna ruggness.

No worries, as long as you got the money, it will be yours sooner or later....why not get the 312 instead of the 111? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
