44mm is the grey sterile dial pilot rite,lol
it's in banana's hand now iirc
yeah thats the one. lol with banana....maybe already sold! Hope its still ticking...lol
that watch actually gave me confidence on chinese watches hahahaah.
so actually besides seiko, i was looking at sea gull as well. This 1963 reissue (mechanical chronograph! i cant afford a 7750 for now...) and also the 819.351 on seagull USA website with ST2130 (for the 28800bph!) Both watches seemed to have good reivews on WUS. However the 1963 reissue like really got QC problems...

Most ppl always have some misgiving about china made watch.... dun forget the high quality replica lolex etc usually house china made movt. The ST19 mechanical movt in the 1963 is quite good and robust..... perhaps some QC need to be tighten up even if they did.... once in a while a defective one will pop up..... no 100% one lah......
Also, it is not a flyback so you will need to stop the chrono function before reset to "zero". Proper handling of the movt is necessary!

for me I think the quality is acceptable since I had experience with china movement before. the movement is surprisingly accurate.
but still i've havent spent over 100 on a china mechnical yet. needs more confidence so is very careful before buying lol.
yeah I googled for ST19 before. came accross on what you said about the movement as well...also it is Based on the venus 175...then they say is a column wheel movement...which i still dont understand what it meant lololol...but interesting stuffs to dig when i am free.

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.
