I HAVE COMPLAINED TO SEA-GULL! See the video description for more!

**Many if you have pointed out that this watch has now not been included in the $3 off for $30 spent promotion. I have complained to Sea-Gull and they have apologised and now provided a $5 discount code 9EIEMCWN72CH. My sincerest apologies for this misleading video… I have sent an email to Sea-Gull expressing my thoughts and opinions on this mix up!**
In this video I review the new Sea-Gull 819.12.6075. This 40mm men's dress watch contains an automatic movement and it's 10mm thick! It's so close to perfect this watch....and it's one of the cheapest automatic dress watches I've owned.

I've just ordered one, £54. I'm amazed.

[@grahambawden4060]

Gorgeous dress watch let down by its strap but that's easily rectified. How they've managed to keep it so thin is amazing. Beautifully finished and an absolute steal at that price. Seagull brand is well known so the movement will be good as well. Lack of hacking and no AR is a bit of a let down. Usual excellent review Gary.👍⌚😎

[@gregcarterfineart]

Besides the shortish minute hand as mentioned, the hands and capped center are gorgeous, wonderful font used. Thin case, compact lug to lug, just a classy dial!

I have a very similar watch that I got around this time last year. Mine has 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12. It's smaller at 38mm and 8mm thick. Manual wind equivalent of this one I'd say. Got it for around 100, great watch.

You don't have to tell me twice how nice this one is. I'm sold and will be adding this to my basket. $91 for a Sea-Gull is a deal that can't be passed up and throwing 20 or 30 dollars worth of straps into the basket still makes this an unbeleivable value. Cheers

[@dylanharrington744]

It looks nice to me and for that Price, amazing Value! I gotta Say i love that Vario Strap and the others looked great too. I wouldn't normally See the Value in a Dressier Watch, as I'm not likely to wear it very often, but at this Price, I'd get one and not be bothered if it sat unworn for a while.

[@FlaviusCorhei]

Hello world. Movement is 20 jewels ST1701 (TY2706) and has bi directional winding rotor, decorated. Great watch with great specs and great price. Minimalistic look, no need to change date if not worn for 2 or more days, a real plus if you rotate watches. Absolutely superb !

[@KarlAdamsAudio]

I have the rose gold version with black dial - my particular example has an hour hand misalignment that's noticeable if you look for it. Aside from that, very nicely presented as your macro shots highlight. I've taken to wearing it again, and try not to look too closely at the hour hand - life is short, and it's a relatively cheap watch, so why worry? I suspect that minimalism isn't quite my thing, so this watch was never going to be my absolute favourite - that's not Sea-Gull's fault of course, just me getting to know my own taste in watches.

[@AliasEveWatches]

Wow, I like this one! Beautiful classy dial. A bit too big for a dress watch (for me, at least).

[@Happy357mag]

This one would be great at 36mm.

[@nickhayes4169]

Well, I'll give you an update. My watch arrived & you're absolutely right. This watch is a real stunner. Simple & unfussy, I'm really happy with it & would like to thank you for giving me the little persuasion in buying it. 😂 I was looking at some & they're over 3k, so I'm well happy.

Gary I know this is an older video but I'm looking at the Milfortic field watch. What is the difference between the ST17 movement and the ST1701? Any thoughts of the Milfortic brand? I like their dirty dozen homage. Thanks

[@VicenzzoPaiva]

the dial is more like a cream than white or the white balance is a little off in the video?

No hacking on a dress watch isn't a big problem. And this looks like a strap monster!

I remember a few years ago San Martin was around $150.00 and now they have gone up to or almost $400.00 even up to $500.00. I was chasing the White vintage look face gmt when it was around $250 and now it’s almost $400 or more. Unreal!

[@freddyt55555]

San Martin is getting too arrogant for their own good. Plus, their logo looks like a 12 year old drew it. I would never pay what they're asking for their watches. I'd take Cronos or Sugess over San Martin all day, every day.

[@vonkruel]

Hacking isn't so important, is it? I'd just just wait for the seconds hand to reach 12 o'clock to properly align the minutes hand, and set the watch to the previous minute (if it runs fast), or the next minute (if it runs slow). No problem, really.

It's so funny that someone else is also thinking the same thing about your arm movement in your intros as I am.

It seems like it's something you have started doing fairly recently because I don't recall you doing it in your older videos. I taught an Instructor Training Course years ago and arm and hand gestures were one of the things we tried to address and correct in our students. People have a hard time knowing what to do with them but need to learn how to keep them to a minimum because they can be very distracting to look at.
