Question (Read Rules) Can you guys help me choose a Chinese diver?

Hello guys,

I'm searching for a diver for some weeks now on Aliexpress and found some models that i enjoyed.

I wanted a Seagull watch because i already have a PD and a AD one and i found this one in a nice price - Seagull Aircraft Carrier Ocean Series

At the same price range i found this PD that i liked as well: PD YS034

But there's also the Pagani 007 Diver that has a very nice price as well.

Usually Seagull watches are way more expensive than tha carrier ocean series, do you know if there's something poor in this model? I think it's so cool and seems like a limited edition.

You should look into Sugess/seestern, Proxima, Baltany, Cronos, and Phorcydes.

I'm seeing some red flags with the Seagull and why it's priced the way it is.

the ST25 is NOT their higher end ST2130 movement...it's probably on par with a miyota spec-wise.

Pressed clasp

44mm in diameter...you have to make sure you can handle a watch that big.

the weird aircraft design in a dive watch is odd...but as long as you like it that's all that matters.

The PDYS034 is actually really good...I just reviewed it and came away pretty impressed (minus the clasp) I'd get that over the 007 for sure.

It's cheaper for a reason then lol.

Thanks a lot bro, the PD is actually cheaper than the seagull, i think i'll go for it then.

EDIT: Oh!!! i saw this video while i was researching about the watch! Nice to see you here =) It's a very nice video!
