To those who wish to own a piece of the ST19 with Moonphase.

Post by Ed.YEO » 30 Sep 2014 00:31

...and wouldn't want to make purchase thru online sellers due to warranty concerns...
Pop by CityChain and lookout for a "ST19" powered piece from the SOVIL et TITUS range, that's priced @ $890, and comes with additional 20% off discount.
That shall works out to be a little above 700 with local warranty by the CC group.

So... for "noobs", what to look out?

Image
The subdial @ 12, is a 31 day counter.
The subdial @ 3, is 30min chrono timer.
The subdial @ 6, is a 29.5days rotation moonphase.
The subdial @ 9, is a regular 60 seconds dial.
The chronograph hand, is the one in the center.

Ironically after discount these Sovil Et Titus watches are actually cheaper than Seagull chronograph moon phase....

For those who are looking for a reliable ST19. And one that won't break the bank plus at least it's clean and <40mm

Pics all there. Thomas makes the 1963 chronographs. And is a reasonable & reliable person. IMO.
Enjoying Japanese, Swiss, Germans & Micros quartz or mechanical, solar/Eco or kinetic, electronic

Time is one's best friend or worst enemy. You can't stop her or contain her but you can use her or watch her go by!

If compared to what SEAGULLUSA and SEAGULLSG offer... definitely much lower.
However if compare to those online sellers which I had pointed out earlier... the price of the SeT could cost 2 blue bills or more...

Anyway... my guess is that these SeT ST19 Moonphase models may have been produced for a certain time, but the market is so "saturated" with earlier SEAGULL as well as other Named ones, that they may have to hold back whatever they produced so that they can grab attentions again... after all... in local market, majority of the buyers are not "WIS" and I bet, most of them don't even know what's good or bad with the Chinese movement. Just the initial impression on "Tiong" movement makes some turn their head away liaoz...

I tried to make an order last nite... but didn't go further.
Must register to be member to order. No customizing option before clicking "order". Somemore i noticed that there's no PayPal payment channel, even though they mentioned they have eNets. I sent the link to one of my female colleague who always shop with TaoBao. See how la...
That price really hard to resist.
