Seagull 1963 Reissue Available from Seagull HK Directly

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.

Cheers

Great move. Drop Thomas an email: lhczthomas@gmail.com
He is the man to sort you out and I highly recommend him. Others may have his street address.
Good luck

Each day I have more and more simpathy for these Seagull timepieces

Just like yande2536 says: contact Thomas via e-mail and see what he has in stock.
His office is located in Sheung Wan and your friend can either take the MTR to the Sheung Wan station and then walk the rest (probably about 10 minute walk - depending on how hot it is...) or the tram which stops just around the corner from his office. Can't find the exact address, but it's on the 21st floor of the Guangdong Financial Building.

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....

so another batch will become available soon? Since I am thinking to another one, but unfortunately, watchunique.com has sold out theirs. Thanks!

Am I missing something here? Why not get the official Seagull (Tianjin) re-issue of the first Chinese Air Force chronograph? (Sold on www.usseagull.com as the D304) I realize it's more expensive but at least it's the "official" limited edition?

Its not just more expensive, its twice to thrice more expensive.

I guess you are missing a little something. First of all the 1963 Re-issue is an official one and second of all, it is a very different watch than the D304 you've linked to. If you check out some of the great pics of the 1963 you can see. Personally, I dont feel anything for the D304 but the 1963 just has that certain 1960's look and the color scheme is a lot more pleasing.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. I'm sure the D403 is a good watch, and I especially like that material band, but the 304 just does not seem to have the intimate personality of "our" 1963 re-issue that we all know and love. The D304 looks all together too shiny, too new, as compared to a 1963 designed watch. The D304, on first impression seems to lack a soul. Now my thoughts could stem from loving what I have gotten used to seeing, tho' now I think of it, in a lot of ways, the D304 looks just like any other Seagull. Perhaps I now understand why the 1963 Re-issue is not advertised and promoted by Seagull. Don't get me wrong though, I would love to have a D304 in my stable, but I much prefer the 1963 re-issue price tag, hence I don't see that happening!
It also seems that those that are not in the know, ie. Thomas, have a hard time in finding the 1963 re-issue. Suits me. Although even knowing Thomas does not mean immediate access
Thanks RuffRydas for the heads up.|

The D304 is indeed a different watch. So I want one of those too

Wow, lacking a soul. That is harsh.

In my mind they are two different watches from different arms of Sea-Gull. Tianjin Sea-Gull and HK Sea-Gull have differing business philosophies.
