  • In today's video I announce the winner and runners up of the SKX009 competition I held a week ago to celebrate the channel reaching 50k subscribers. I discuss developments with my current Omega Speedmaster dilemma and review two very cool chronographs. The first to be reviewed is the ultra affordable but extremely charming Seagull 1963 manual wind and secondly the limited edition Sinn 103 automatic with it's stunning blue colour scheme.

    Got that Seagull 1963 for my 14 year old nephew. His first "real" ( and mechanical ) watch. He loves it.

    I’ve been watching your videos for a few days, and suddenly I felt the need to buy a watch and my budget is around 250 euros: at the beginning I wasn’t convinced by the design of Seiko, Citizen for that amount of money. I am not a snob person, so I was looking for smth attractive, while reliable and then I came across this video! A smile is still on my face, writing down this comment, because I am in love with the Seagull 1963, what a beautiful piece of machinery .. Thank you for that feeling, of a happy excited kid, while being 32 y.o.

    I own the Seagull and I concur with your thoughts. The accuracy, chronograph and sapphire crystal is what really surprised me at that price point. I chose the sapphire because I would have scratched the acrylic up badly and often, but the acrylic is in keeping with it's vintage looks. Upgrading the NATO on this is a must. Now onto a nice diver. Looking back at The Urban Gentry archives for some suggestions. Maybe a dress watch/diver, Ha! Thank you TGV.

    I "watched" the review for the seagull on long island channel, and mark said leave your comments below, but the comments were turned off! You have great video content, well spoken, edited, sound volume and lighting! I look forward to your next watch review, and thank you for leaving the comments open!

    Saw this 5 years ago, re-watched it since I finally got a 1963! Great review as always, TGV.

    I like the fact that each time you use your caliper you never fail to mention the fact that it has sellotape on. This respect towards any viewer who might be new to the channel and not falling to the 'old gang'-style of ranting is what some other channels could really learn from you.

    Great review. Love the seagull. The chinese character means first 2(China) second 2(made)

    I've just ordered myself a Sinn 103 Ti TESTAF. I can't wait to get my hands on it! Another thing to mention is that they even fill the watch with argon and have a special oil. So you only have to service it when the dehumidifier is saturated, which I could do fairly close by. I don't know how easy that would be in the USA.

    Another awesome video. And Thank you for pointing out the accuracy v price. Those little details is what not only assists us in making a purchase but keeping or "egos" in check with our decisions and not keeping up with the Jones's.

    I managed to find a Sinn 103 A Sa B in 9.5/10 condition. Being in Australia we only got 15 of these when released via the AD, so I was pretty thrilled to find one 3 years later, albeit via the WUS forums. Absolutely stunning watch. Keeps great time. It does sit tall but I only ever wear it on the strap on weekends. A happy 1/500 owner in the world.

    I'm new to watches and I'm poor by most watch collecting standards, but I just have to say that I'd get the 1963 purely due to the beauty of the case back of the watch. I could stare at that movement all day and play with the pushers to watch how they work. It would never get old. My most favorite part of watching Watchfinder and Co is stare at the gorgeous mechanical movements of the high end watches they feature and yet for less than $400 US I can view a beautiful movement on my own hand. Definite buy for Christmas 2019.
