A dual-time quartz

[soviet]

I don't see enough watchs, so I think this dual-time quartz may be uncommon. On the case back, it says "St. Jude Medical" so it must be a fake of a famous brand. <| For the price of RMB 20, it looks like a nice watch. :-D

Dual mechanical movements though, now there's something :-! For example the Orion Traveller, with a pair of Zarja 1509 movements

And my favorite (I must be crazy) The Sea-Gull ST22 (made from a pair of heavily modified ST6 autos:

By the way, have you noticed that Sea-Gull have upgraded their site?

Could you DIY a dual ST6 movements watch? I have a few Seagull lady watches with such movements that I can send you free for such a project. :-)

I met a guy a few days ago who is the head of Beijing Watches & Cameras collectors association, and he has close relation with the heads of Sea-Gull group. I complained why Sea-Gull has only one watch counter in a big city like Beijing? He said from what he undestands that Sea-Gull could not afford the cost of presenting their watches in those expensive department stores. How sad! And on the other hand,many Chinese watch forums, big shopping malls look like part of a promotion program of many foreign brands! <|

He said he would like to buy one of the very first Sea-Gull pocket watches to be issued this year. He wore a Shanghai A611 and took great care of the watch. |>

The only ST6 I have is a friend's fake-Rolex in my spares box. The combination of very long, thin stem, and badly-designed screw-down crown resulted in a snapped stem.

Maybe we should suggest this to Michele on the Russian forum. He's got a talent for this sort of thing :-D

This is another attraction of vintage Chinese watches. Common and worn watches are very affordable for learning watch repairing. Now I have some 30 movements in my spare box. Some only needs a cleaning and a new dial to be good again. I would be very reluctant to get my hands on a $3000 used Rolex. O|
