What is your dream watch? I want a Rolex and a Panerai, that’s enough. I have seen many watches and I also have some in my collection, most of them are homages made in China, I often read reviews on watch forums and see activities, I saw most people are more likely to buy homage watches from China than buying a watch from Sea-gull, why? Is Sea-gull still not highly accepted among them? I think the biggest reason lies in the price, these homage watches usually have better prices. However, I know one Sea-gull watch that is being loved by a lot of people outside China, that is the D304, I also think this is the first Chinese watch you should consider to buy. Today, I will introduce another Sea-gull watch that has a great look.
Everyone has their own sense of taste, but a lot of people will like the watch whose case and bracelet seem to be integrated into one, this Sea-gull is exactly such a watch, its bracelet is seamlessly integrated with the case. The watch can show you the week and date in the window set at 3:00. It is said this watch is a re-design of the G45 which Sea-gull produced in the 80s.
I do like the watch, it has so many classic designs that will make it a good watch for men, the silver dial has bar-shaped hour markers, the Sea-gull logo is tridimensional and has a blue background, fluted bezel looks shine. Measuring the case, it is 38.5mm in diameter, the bezel is 37mm in diameter, a little bit smaller for men who like big watches. The crown is screw-down, after being locked, the crown sits flush against the case, it is said the watch is 100m water resistant.
The watch is equipped with a ST2100 movement, which is a great movement with high stability, but the auto rotor has a bit louder noise. The crown rotation also does not feel too smooth. On the edge of the stainless steel bracelet, it is not polished very well, I can feel it has slight burr. The contrast between the brushed finish on the front and the polishing on the edge is not strong enough, the visual contrast is weak. By the way, I think the price of the watch is a bit high.
