Very cool! I've been tempted to buy one off Amazon, but one of the 38mm ones with a Sapphire crystal.




Bro what. Holy crap you got a Breitling and a JLC as gifts! Must be that Alberta oil money! (I'm just kidding)

JLC is my grail watch.

I'm like you, kinda, where I try and buy a watch for special occasions. In fact its just browsing for watches to pick one right now that lead me to this topic.

You got a pretty good collection. I've got a Casio Worldtime (high-school graduation), a Seiko 5 (undergrad), Vostok Amphibia (grad school) and Casio G-shock (needed it for work) in my collection.

I've been looking at a Junhans Max Bill but I've also been trying to find some Chinese watch to get.

I got some rich uncles and aunts with no kids. Like c-level rich.

I think it's important to understand what type of watches you like before starting a collection. I'm not a huge fan of the Breitling because it's not really my style, but it's still a good watch. Probably get a navitimer when I get a chance.

I really hate dive watches, which are all the rage right now. I don't even wear a dive watch when I go diving lol.

An IWC special edition for the 2023 Chinese new year, the year of the rabbit.

It is a sexy, sexy watch!

That maroon red is a good color. Now if they make a limited edition CNY blue watch one year then I'll buy it.

Anyone know a good Chinese watch brand other than seagull that make automatic watches? I'm looking for a new field watch for when I travel.

Also got my eye on a Ming watch, but I'm never fast enough to order when they release a batch.

I'm a big watch enthusiast - my Sugess homage to the Seagul 1963 is one of my favorite go to watches! It's not a direct reproduction of the famous 1963, but uses the same Seagull ST1901 movement but has much nicer running seconds and chronograph sub-dials than the Seagull (larger, more rounded out index marks, recessed/stamped for a more 3 dimensional look). I've gotten a lot of positive complements while wearing it by non-watch people wondering what kind of watch it is. The champagne creme color dials with the gold index marks is very eye catching especially in dimly lit bars and outside during sunset.

Lots of positive reviews and love for the Seagull 1963 on Youtube, even among people who have Pateks and Rolexes

This is the manual chronograph right? I saw some on Aliexpress that is an homage with automatic movement (no chrono), thinking of it because too lazy to wind it myself. I can barely remember to charge an Apple Watch... Surprisingly expensive (as far as Chinese watches go)

Sure, AVIC owns FIYTA and Beijing Watch Factory!

My personal collection is a Rolex Datejust Bimetal, Omega Seamaster Chrono Diver, and GP Ferrari. Got my wife an Omega Constellation for her birthday a while back. Also somewhere I have a Chairman Mao watch (really!) given to me by ex-gf's mother but that has a quartz movement. Haven't worn it for years now.
