Sea-Gull 1963 Official Limited Edition Re-Issue
Hey TRFers, been dying to share this beauty with you. I travel to China often for work so I started looking into interesting pieces and came across several threads on the Tianjin Watch Company 1963. There have been several "unofficial" homages to the original, but only recently has Sea-Gull offered the official re-issue. Notice the numbered quantity and reference number on the case back. These represent the only 1963s produced at the original Tianjin factory.
I have a few coworkers in Asia and on my last trip I asked them to help me source a unit. They were able to use their know how to avoid any knock-offs and even help negotiate the price (volume discount - I bought 2). I undressed it today and threw on the included nato strap, and wow, it's a great combination. The creamy dial and blue & red hand combo looks great. Especially like the applied China star. What do you guys think??? IMG_1246.jpg Back.jpg IMG_9311.jpg IMG_9789.jpg

Watch & Worn Article that kicked off my search. Note, when this was written they had not yet released the official version. All previous homage versions used legit Sea-Gull movements but were not assembled at the Tianjin factory. A cool piece of history!

Very cool. I wasn’t aware an official version had been released.
Congrats! |
