Seagull 1963 Reissue Available from Seagull HK Directly

I got my watch back from Thomas and the issue with the hands colliding has been fully resolved!

I am confused.

I emailed Seagull Singapore, they said the reissue 1963 is not from TianJin factory, (Guy said he asked them himself) so he does not carry them in Seagull Singapore.

But I clearly saw one of the photos in this thread w Thomas (seagull HK) having the certificates and stuff. So what is what ?

Also is the acrylic cases safe ? I prefer mineral cases.

The model comes from Sea-Gull HK (order from Thomas or other websites that carry the model).
Sea-Gull Tianjin has, oddly enough, nothing to do with the 1963 re-issue.

I actually love the acrylic crstal. It's a beautiful look. I treat it like my Speedies Hesalite, a tube of polywatch will keep your watch looking like new for many many years... Having said that, it is pretty tough as it is..

i will proceed to consider ordering 1 unit from seagullhk thomas then.

i trust someone here checked on the watch's movement as well. !

awesome.

I suspect this watch is a 'special order' from Seagull HK. Thus it isn't a standard offering from Seagull Tiajin. However, the watch is probably made there

Here is a photo I just got from Thomas with the new model coming into stock shortly. $210 shipped. Clear back, acrylic front.



Unfortunately I just bought a used one for $250 less than a week ago BUT....the one I got has sapphire on both sides and is mint. Which I think is worth the cost....

[sdchew]

Yeah the sapphire ones are really nice

I prefer acrylic...like it almost as much as sapphire. It's tough, resilient...scratches easily but polishes just as easy. Good stuff.

A buddy of mine is heading to China and HK. I'd really appreciate it if someone could point out where he could grab one of these for me :)

If not, where I could order it would be great as well.
