Sea-Gull M171S

Hey everyone, wanted to share a watch I bought about a month ago, and have been wearing almost every day since. I purchased it from a confirmed E-bay user who deals a lot of Sea-Gull watches. Picked it up for $230 plus shipping from China, if I remember right. I have come to know this brand just because of a couple reps I have that run Sea-Gull movements. The reps I have are rock solid, so I figured what the hell, I will give their brand a shot. I really enjoy the watch, and it is quite good looking (IMO).

 

The strap it came with was crap, as was the deployment clasp, but that is an easy fix. Other than that the only complaint I have is that the retro-grade date dial is very difficult, if not impossible, to determine what day it is. I find myself pulling my phone out all the time. It keeps extremely accurate time.

 

Here are some pics below. The hands are blue, which is hard to show in the these pictures (mostly because I am a terrible photographer).

The display back is nice looking. I just suck at using an SLR up close.

Looks great! I've been tempted by a Sea-Gull watch many times but have yet to pull the trigger. I'm currently thinking about the 44mm D813.581

That is a beautiful watch, I have one similar, it is a Sturhling Saturnalia, it came with a very nice brown leather strap and a dual deployment clasp. I plan to do a review on this watch later, I was able to pick this little gem on the bay for $100 usd. Here are some pics.

Sorry for the crapy pic's, I'll take some better pic's when I do the review.

Damn that really is nice looking. I'll probably pic one up for the hell of it!

I often regret not buying myself one of a rather glorious (but short lived) incarnation of this watch some years back, with an intricate engraved skeletonised movement and ramped up as Breguet
