Deal Link:
Retailer:
Aliexpress
Nice watch with a Chinese licensed and made 1940s something swiss venus chrono movement. This is a remake of the watch made for Chinese pilots in 1963 with the rights bought from said Swiss maker. Nice reliable retro vintage looking watch available in 38 or 40mm sizes lumed or not. Buy Thursday on aliexpress's big sale. The linked watch also has the $3.85 off every $38.50 spent and there are also other aliexpress coupons to bring down the price well under $200 can, shipping free. Pick what you like and add it to your cart.
Also check out Steel Dives retro homage of the seiko 6105 captain willard diver from the steel dive store with a seiko NH35 movement and crazy long lasting lume.

This military watch is a very interesting watch. You need to know a bit of the history behind it to really appreciate it.

that's a horrible looking watch. how is this a hot deal exactly? if it was a retro, I could see someone wanting to pay ~$200 but it isn't.

Your loss, a mechanical chronograph anywhere else will run you a thousand and up. This also comes with sapphire crystal and an exhibition case back. This is a well made and respected watch.

Chinese tourbillon watches are also a fraction of the price.... but doesn't mean its worth buying...

Made mistake in the title. I said automatic, sorry it is just a winder mechanical (fixed). Makes it even cooler IMO as you have full view of the movement in the case back.

Sapphire too. Nice. I believe there's also a cheaper version (not from this seller) for plexiglass crystal.

I used to have one 30 years ago, I’m surprised this brand still survives.
Buy Nice or Buy Twice.

Not my cup of tea, but this is a great find, OP. The 1963 Seagull is a significant watch.
Nobody ever upvote me again. I have 600 upvotes and that is the PERFECT number. Don't hit that button. I know it's tempting given my high quality posts on RedFlagDeals.com, the best page on the Internet since 1998 - but please don't hit that button.
