I thought I'd create a thread with my current collection of chinese watches. To keep some overview, I'll put some categories in seprate posts.

Parnis is also a brand that makes nice, inspired, watches with great value for money. Most movements are from SeaGull.

An A581:


Two 1120's:




And a 1523:

The amount of Beijings is still limited, but I'm convinced it will grow. They make watches to a very high standard.





Just look at that movement:

A Rexxor with skeletonized standard movement:

Thanks Soviet,
I don't know if it is the biggest. I guess there aren't that many European collectors that specifically collect Chinese.

Martin, my dear friend, your collection is mouth watering, indeed. You have so many very beautiful watches. Your fotos are also amazing. Thank you very much for sharing with us, and also I would like to thank OzPutera for bringing this fantastic collection to our attention.

Very Best Regards . . .

Fascinating collection, obviously assembled with taste, tenacity, patience and an adequate budget; that's me beaten on all four counts.

Nice to see another swan-neck regulator, well designed and well made, apparently. Handsome, fine cotes de Geneve making a pleasant change from the more usual broad presentation.

Sex on lugs!

Here's some pics of my Alpha's:

I'd be curious to know more about this watch, where you purchased it, and whether it is still available. Very nice watch.

[Martin_B]

I bought it on the Alpha website, and put it on another strap.
Their site is Alpha Watch
but it's currently not listed. Usually they come back within several weeks.

It's a very nice combination that makes the watch look far more classy than the original strap probably made it out to be.

Can you recall the model name/number?

Alpha never removes pages to models currently out of stock, they only do not reference them from the overview pages. The watch in question can be viewed here: Alpha Watch
But ordering probably will not be possible
