    For the year of Dragon, Sea-Gull first limited edition dive watch series Dragon King~

    About 2 years ago I had an idea which was to build a dive watch for Sea-Gull. In my understanding, Sea-Gull has a good line of dress watches for domestic market (China). However since we are the oversea distributor, I believe a sport/dive watch is essential. The project take us more than two years to complete: design, drawing, modern dive watch links with China’ mythological creature- Dragon; from standard crown to lock/screw in crown; thin sapphire glass to thicker flat sapphire crystal; Solid 316L stainless steel bracelet with minor adjust system, and much more….
    I did not do this project alone; Walter (gigfy) provides countless suggestions and ideas! We used to spend a lot of time on the phone and email to build the right dive watch for Sea-Gull and our customers, and I can not thank him enough for it.
    SO HERE IT IS, FOR THE YEAR OF DRAGON, US SEAGULL IS PROUDLY AND EXCLUSIVELY PRESENTS SEA-GULL FIRST LIMITED EDITION DIVE WATCH- DRAGON KING

    Almost perfect, but IMHO the hands should have been longer. I find that a lot of Chinese watches have rather short hands

    I like it. I particularly like it having the Sea-gull brand.

    Limited edition, Sea-gull branded would be my preference for the 2012 WUS watch.

    Love it ! How is the lume ? Is it as low as on other Seagull watches or has it been improved ?
