Beautiful, absolutely. Original, certainly. Affordable, well perhaps when it is on sale. A stunning little piece if you like the mid-century, retro look as much as I do, but I'm not sure what they are doing with their prices at the moment. Makes a strong case at $300, not so much at $400 I'm afraid. Cheers, Jody

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Helloooo all! Sea-Gull watched the video and have sharpened their pencil on the price! They've adjusted the price in the listing to under $350USD. Cheers, Jody

[@thinredline2795]

It's 486,59USD at the moment 😁pity cause it's a nice piece

[@thinredline2795]

@Alison Zheng Nope, it's 437 USD with the discount

[@TheBusby101]

I bought the all silver version a couple of years ago and it still remains my favourite dress watch. Wore it last Saturday to dinner. Love the sunburst and simple layout of the dial. I have an 8.5inch wrist so shouldn't by right suit, but I've never felt it was too small. Keep up the good work Jody.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Good to hear that Mark! I saw silver and rose gold versions were available.

[@sacriste]

They're betting on middle class chinese nostalgia. That's a market big enough for them. For the rest of us, it's ridiculous.

[@anthonysmith2982]

Wise words.

[@johnjohn3274]

small detail i liked: China Made on the dial. I appreciate that they arent hiding behind any homages or other companies. Straight forward, i dig it.

[@GauisHelenaMohaim]

Not saying that it is not a nice piece but you are right, it seems the Chinese don't want to sell watches anymore. At this time the Sea Gull official store asks 467 USD after discounts. That is not including the taxes to get it imported. For a Chinese watch with a misaligned date and the famous Aliexpress warranty... and a rough eta clone movement. No but thank you. My 2 last watches are a black PVD swiss Alpina Startimer automatic for 400 USD and a Casio Oceanus Titanium watch with marvelous finishing for 405 USD. Both new and with real warranty. Both are in a totally different league quality wise. And sea gull is not the only one with illusions of grandeur lately. Same with San Martin, have you seen these prices lately? 450 to 500+? For what? Homages with no originality at all? Still far from the finishing quality from the originals with mediocre quality control? Yeah right, good luck with that.

[@tresconik]

San Martin really let their success get to their head. At the end of the day they're a Chinese copier of famous watches. The only thing that separates them from Pagani, Steeldive, Cadisen and the other low priced Chinese brands is decent lume and QC (Also Cadisen has a few original designs).

[@johnsifalakis6099]

Links for these prices?

[@charlesforbin8526]

It's sad, but that's the game, other micros will fill that gap. You get fantastic watches for your money nowadays, you just have to accept that every manufacturer will raise the prices sooner or later.

[@joostkiefte7683]

It's the way of the capitalist world, isn't it? In 2004 I bought a brand new Mühle Glashütte for 450 euros RRP, Swiss movement, sapphire, screw down crown, deployant clasp etc, etc. Nowadays that kind of money would barely buy you one of their replacement straps. Likewise with a Nomos Orion that I bought in Germany for 650 euros in 2005. That very same watch now goes for 1,600 euros! Why? Once these until then relatively obscure brands (from the former GDR) had carved out a niche and could take it from there, prices soared. Just because now it's the Chinese following our example, we baulk at this? Such nonsense.....

[@incman78]

Joost Kiefte the way of the capitalistic world? More like the world of inflation. The value of the dollar or the euro isn't what it once was just like its buying power. What something cost 15-20 years ago was less because the value of the money purchasing it was worth more then compared to now.

[@GS-vb3zn]

5:18 The tool to get for those odd shaped screw on case backs, is the case back grippy ball. Usually comes in a blue color, kind of tacky feeling and soft. Press that up against the back of a case and gently start to turn and… Presto! Case back opened.

[@andyc6736]

Looks like the fusion of a Longines Conquest Héritage and a Timex Marlin.

[@larsstougaard7097]

Yes cool design , not a cool price

[@minorityofone1510]

More Timex than Longines i think. Its not my taste at all

[@tmoh99]

Two of my favorite watches ever!

[@autry33]

I was about to say Longines for sure.

[@lefroy1]

The dial on this newun is nicer than the last '51, but I much prefer that older case with those sweeping lugs.

[@KabobHope]

This is a beautiful watch. I think it competes with the Orient Bambino and has a standard lug width which could make it a strap monster. It also has a bit of history which is sure to please watch officianados. However, at nearly $400 I don't think it represents a good value compared to comparable Japanese brands. I can get a really nice Seiko for not much more probably from my local department store. Honestly, it would have to be a sub-$200 watch and closer to the $100 side to pique my interest. There are a lot of reissues at this price point that I would be more likely to consider.

[@briancolyer8483]

I think it's a stunner, however at that price it's a massive no from me....far too many other watches I'd pick up at that price before this.....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

@@JustOneMoreWatch To baseball fans it's almost like Celtic-Rangers, and the rivalry goes back to the 1880s when both teams were founded in New York. They both moved to California in the late 1950s and remain fierce rivals to this day. Actually, they are currently the best two teams in the whole major leagues and in a heated battle for the NL West division. Giants' fan must've seen your Dodgers t-shirt. =D

It reminds me of the Omega Seamaster. It certainly is a lovely piece.

[@xtreme_survival7879]

That dial is truly a thing of beauty.

[@Ian-dd5dm]

It's all been said, it's a 150 dollar watch at the most. Their movements are found in very let's say good value pieces like the Loreo for instance. There is no value in the watch and there are as good looking pieces out there for a lot less. The Bambino has been mentioned and even the Timex Marlin. People buy Chinese watches for the value in them, there's no value in that. You would be a mug to pay that for that.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

The movement, strap and sapphire alone make this watch better than the bambino and a ton better than the marlin. Aside from making the water resistance better what could they do to make this watch better?

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

I just got one in the black Friday sale for $213! It is such a nice looking watch I couldn’t help myself

[@stusims6567]

My bet is that Sea-Gull is either testing the waters for the highest price point they can sell enough at the higher price to offset the bigger number of cheaper but less profit per unit sold. They are crafty with their sales campaigns as well! Great video as always!!! Keep them coming, and I will keep watching them!

[@jakekaywell5972]

I think it's actually because of the massive Chinese middle class that this watch exists. There's an appeal for them that we foreigners just don't have. Any foreign sales are a secondary consideration for Sea-Gull on this front.

[@SmurfPerfect]

[@jiasunzhang8001]

Sea-Gull didn't represented Chinese watch, only Shanghai watch can represented a true Chinese watch with original design and in house movenment(which is still get develop and upgrade today) instead of these endless Clone of ETA for SeaGull. Like every other old watch barnd, these two brand are strat as high end watch only(as there were no low end watch concept at that time), and still do until current day with the price to match. The 51 is already consider as the entry level watch hence the price.

[@JinKee]

i have a vintage 17juan shanghai with the tongji (?) movement and also a seagull wu yi from the 2013 pattern. i love my seagull because it is tough and wearable, i am so scared of breaking my shanghai watch- it has no shock resistance at all

[@jiasunzhang8001]

@@JinKee If it's has no shock resistance, then it's a 581, the first gen Shanghai watch. You better preserve it well since it increasing in value. Every watch model after it will have a shock resistance. Shanghai watch help developed tonji, but it's own version has two extra jews and movenment is called 7120. Sea-Gull stop developing orginal movenment after ST5.

[@jerryglasses2229]

I recently bought a Seagull for under 150 and it is fantastic. They have so many nice watches in their Ali store but their prices are all over the place. I'm willing to pay a bit more for a Seagull watch but not hundreds if I can get a different manufacturer with a Seagull movement

[@xXSpartan029Xx]

It should be noted that the caseback on that is retro styled and can definitely be taken off with a normal 3 tip caseback tool, though you've got to be very careful not to scratch it as the tool can easily slip

[@poppad1187]

Great looking piece but you just can’t beat the Hamilton 38 mm Intra-Matic along with a 40mm Tissot Visodate in the various dial along with Gold/Silver cases. Not to mention a Seiko Cocktail or some killer microbrand options w/ Swiss mechanical movements. Price is high & rising especially considering your options but if you love something enough you should get it. Thanks for the video Jody , I’ve always appreciated Seagull, their movements and variety of models.

[@bubbaoriley7864]

I have 3 watches it’s the ST-2130 movements. All run within a handful of seconds per day and all within .2ms beat error. I suspect the example here is not typical.

[@jasue2000]

That is a pretty little watch! $295 is the answer for that little beauty!

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Indeed! They are being 'optimistic' at $375+!

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

Even $295 is optimistic IMHO, but not egregiously so. $400+ is just taking the piss.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Absolutely gorgeous watch, which isn't shocking from Seagull...the price change also not too shocking considering their market

[@skybluenz]

I was in the market for a retro style watch with vintage looks and did look at this model. Then I found the Escapement Time Longines homage on Aliexpress. Beuatiful watch and half the price with PT5000 high beat movement.

[@thehorologychannel]

Beautiful piece! Escapement time had something similar, but that was more like homage to longines

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

It is a Longines homage, indeed. I really like the Longines Heritage range and tried to buy one of their 35mm models last year. But for $1300AUD used 😳

[@jefferyneu3915]

If I had any use for a dress watch, I would consider this one. Now that I am retired, dressing up means a polo shirt with a collar, instead of a t-shirt. Unless something takes an unexpected turn, I don’t see having any need for a dress watch. I have no problem wearing my Omega SMP with a suit if I need to dress for a wedding or funeral. If it was good enough for James Bond, it works for me!😀

[@giusepperocchi2979]

You don’t need to dress up to wear a dress watch, a nice polo is just fine. In fact I think you don’t wear a diving suit with your SMP.

Jody I just bought this with the gold case on Ali for 113$. It looks exactly the same. Same movement and dial, but it says it is a 38mm with a 19mm lug width. Did you look at that model when you reviewed this. Maybe it hadn't been released yet. It's helpful to go back years and look at your old reviews. Looking forward to your release! P.S I think the one I bought has more of a white dial than a champagne.

It's a pretty popular brand in China, we're not the center of their attention. We poorly compare it to the aliexpress brands yet it has nothing to do with it, it's like saying a Hamilton is '' one of those Amazon watches ''. It's not to say that it will never drop in price, but that it will mostly be influenced by their own market, if that was to happen. They are in that testing the waters phase.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

It's too expensive compared to other brands sold globally though. Seagull made 2824 is half the price of Swiss and that should be reflected in the sale price.

After his "death"(risen to Allah/God), churches and archbishops spread false teachings of Jesus, the Messiah by creating the trinity. Jesus taught that God is one, yet the Christians after his preaching, taught God as 3.
