| Here is a growing classic model from China Sea-gull factory reissued in 2008. Originally ordered in 1963 for the PLO jet pilots and finally produced in 1965. Handwinder only....  |

| What are the specs on this one? Are they sold out or are they still available? |

| Most likely sold out but you can try the Netherlands site Watchunique.com..... midsized..38mm to crown, 18mm lug width. Caliber is the ST1901 mechanical. Very stable movement. Some variations have a presentation caseback, which were ordered in a small batch by a German company who wanted to sell them, in around 2008. I bought mine from a German fellow living in the Mainland side of China near Hong Kong. He had ordered a small batch from the Tianjin factory but has sold out now. |

| very nice watch and if it was around 100 usd I would buy it, but on this watchunique site price is 150 eur. Also you will see Invicta Russian Diver for 1000 eur  So typical Europe, everything is overpriced  |

| pacifichrono! nice grab! you now belong to the 'exclusive' 1963 club hahaha! Not that many around now and the price is escalating....even in China !!! if you can find one! Here is mine on a black strap too... Yours is the first edition too...not red star, 19J marker and solid caseback ! great! Pricepoint is often a deciding factor for our buys...true...but Chinese watches are going to be the big trend ...sooner than later! so catch the wave hahaha!  |

| Didn't realize that they were hard to find these days. I recall when they were reintroduced, I seemed to see an ad for them every day. Nice watch. |

| Actually, I sold mine about two weeks ago for $229.00 due only to lack of wrist time. |

| The dial is super clean on this Sea-Gull, plus the gold on the numbers and hands is classic. Those blue and red hands are the perfect touch to set off the dial also ! VERY nice Thian ! Also Tom..The case back, and movement is exceptional on that watch..Wow..Thanks guys ! ____________________________________  |
