Some background on Seagull , one of my favorite watchmaker. Seagull is a Chinese watchmaker that has been designing and making their own inhouse movement and watches since the 1950s (older than many Swiss brands), they have a long tradition of making high quality collector mechanical watches that rivals the Swiss and Japanese with generations of very skilled master watchmakers. Owning a Sea-gull in China before it got flooded with Rolex was considered a privilege and a life accomplishment for the collector.
The reason I love this brand is their approach of making high quality mechanical watches without the insane price premiums and snobbiness. A watch of this caliber and quality would costed thousands more from a Swiss brand.
Sadly there is mass confusion even from experts on this brand given Seagull does zero marketing and little to no distribution outside of China, almost all of the listings for sale and youtube reviews are FAKES not genuine Seagull watch. It's either a out right knockoff (Yes i see the irony of knocking off a Chinese brand), or the high end expensive fakes that use a Seagull movement in the watch but are not made by Seagull, brands like Sugess Sea-kors etc.. they are NOT authentic Sea-Gull watches even though they are all falsely labeled as Seagull, and far inferior in quality. It's okie if you want a fashion accessory, just be aware those fakes have no collector value with questionable quality, i would argue why not pay a bit more and get the real thing given how fairly priced they are.
NOTE: ALL genuine Seagull watches come with official Seagull branded paper/manual + box, and unique serial number engraved on the back of the watch. If it doesn't have it, it's a FAKE.
