You must be guessing why "we"
, thats because this is truly an impulse buy by me, Jacky and CK77.
After i sent both of them a link on this watch the 3 of us decided in 1hr to place an order.
This would be out first made in China watch.
Took about 1week to ship from HK to Malaysia.
Special thanks needs to go to Jacky for using his account to pay first and trusting that we will pay him back hehe
So what did we get?
Seagull made, 19jewel, TianJin watch factory 1963 first Chinese pilot watch re-issue
This is how it came in
The box
This is how its packed. Head and nato seperate
Taken out of wrap and before assembly
Pic of see thru back, has printing on the glass
The dial.
I like how the dark cream dial has lots of contras. Chemical blue chrono hands, red chrono hand and gold markers.
Here it is assembled.
Wrist shoot
Sorry for the bad quality pics. We were at a coffee shop and the person who suppose to bring the camera cant make it last min
Remember to take better pics when you get it at home ya
Its night i'm tired and so a detail impression would have to wait. And the other 2 can chime in.
Initial thoughts:
- Built quality is ok for the price paid.
- I like the look really something different and military look.
- Nato is barely acceptable at best. I figured taking it off less than 50 times will kill it.
- Chrono pushers one is sticking out longer than the other.
- Winding is ok, not too rough.
Now the BAD NEWS:
One of the 3 that arrived is sorta DOA (Dead on arrival). Why?
Because the chrono will start, stop but WILL NOT reset. So looks like we have to send it back to HK.
So a follow up report would be how good the customer service is.
