I'm back (though I don't know how long). So, second smart watch (a Huawei, this time) broke in April and I started wearing my fifteen year old automatic again. Unfortunately, this gave me the new watch bug, so I ordered a new watch from the company that sold me my first automatic. Delivery time? Approx one month. While waiting, I bought a couple of less expensive watches, starting with this Chinese Seagull 1963.

It's a reissue of the watch supplied to aviators of the PLAFF and is built to a high standard. Is this a wind up? Absolutely it is. Forty eight turns of the crown to full power.
