WUS Chinese Mechanical Watch Special Edition

[hked]

The only restriction I foresee is the budget or cost of the watch. I hope it is something most people will be able to afford, but that largely depends on the number and type of mechanical watch we all agree on. Since a lot of people already have the 1963 (in all of its various guises), it would be probably be better and more adventurous to go for something different.

Methinks you are jesting on the tourbillon Michael .....or it will be at most a limited edition 0/0 ......I definitely don't have the moohlah for one of those either!!!!

Are there any particular restrictions on what is possible? I guess a 1963 with a special inscription would be easy to achieve whereas some other combinations of movement, case, dial and hands might take a bit more organising.

I would suggest that we steer away from tourbillons as some people like me won't have the money for it.

You can always be counted upon for good advice Ron! Hopefully other forum members will share their views and continue the momentum.

Is there such a thing as the quintessential Chinese watch? A well designed three hander would be at the top of my list, closely followed by the CNMark Moonphase prototype!!!

We have a professional watch designer in our midst who is willing to deal with all the design aspects of the project, so if anyone has any suggestions please fire away.

Please sign me up for one . I have already emailed Markus for more information and we'll see if its viable price wise.

Anyone else want one???

Hopefully we can agree on something most people will find affordable!

I've always liked the Chinese movement with the flyback day and date. Seagull USA is a bit out of my price range but the quality control of Parnis seems a bit iffy. So something in between would be nice.

What would interest me would be a simple but elegant three hand watch with a white or cream dial, reasonable WR, about 40-42mm, auto or manual wind.

Untill I saw the price... http://item.tmall.com/item.htm?id=10...prc=1&cm_cat=0

some of these look good.... http://darkangel.taobao.com/?search=...&queryType=cat

About time I started using taoboa tube instead of just their easy search

I like the overall idea of this watch but the dial lacks something; refinement.

I like this but I would leave out the moon and go for SS instead of gold. Simple, elegant.

Just to chime in, I would be interested in a nice 'Wus' edition, of course depending on the final model/price.

This one in SS would be interesting if the price fits.

Is it possible for us to have the reissue of the first Chinese watch?

I love to have a simple 3 handers dress watch, no day/date, handwinding. I am not sure there are existing Sea-gull movements which will fit this specs so feel free to correct me.
