The Cheapest Seagull 1963 You Can Get - Is It Just As Good?

[@WatchMatt]

Great video! A nice blend of information, history, buying advice and jokes, well done!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such positive feedback!

I got one for around £100 three months ago. I got 50-60 watches and use maybe half of these in rotation, surprisingly enough I liked this one so much that it’s the watch I have that gets the most use. I got for example 9 Rolex watches so I got many expensive watches too. But this cheap Chinese Red Star watch is a gem. I got the plexi one, 38mm with swan neck, but have not regulated it as it’s actually running very accurate.

Hi from where u bought that

@@truxton1000 I think it's awesome that you can enjoy watches at such different price points! I hope our seagulls work well for a long time :)

[@TimeHeim]

@@affordablelifestyle from the price, I guess he bought it on Aliexpress. I bought mine there at least. Great prices, but no idea how easy it is to return a defective watch if it has a problem

I bought a sapphire, 38mm Red Star for $70 with AliEx coin discount, but it was DOA. After returning the Red Star, I found a Das-Tianlei (38mm, sapphire, gooseneck) for only $78.66, and it has been fine. The Red Star came in a nicer, faux carbon fiber case, otherwise they are comparable. I bought a couple extra NATO straps for it, but settled on an OD green, red stripe Marine Nationale. Less than $10 in straps.

Wow that's unlucky. Was is hard to return the defective watch? And do they cover the shipping cost?

[@PlugInRides]

@@TimeHeim Super easy, barely an inconvenience. I had to ship it to Delaware and the cost was covered.

I have one, it's an inexpensive, fun watch! Great review!

When I bought my Seagull 1963, I barely paid more than $100 for it too. No swan-neck regulator and the thing is about 20 seconds slow a day, and the straps it came with felt like cardboard, but other than that it seems just as good as the more expensive versions.

@HaonProductions Does it still work?

[@HaonProductions]

@@pizzapr9287 last I checked yeah

[@rykien-h5q]

Just ordered mine.

The metal bracelet looks amazing did it come with the watch or did you get it elsewhere, would like to find one just like it cheers!

[@TimeHeim]

The watch came on the green nato strap. I got the metal bracelet from aliexpress, I added the link to the description!
