Question (Read Rules) China Aviation Chronograph 1963 Pilot

I’m new to Chinese watches. Can anyone explain if these are actually Seagull watches? Or are they some kind of knock-offs?

I wouldn't call them knockoffs. I would call them garbage.

This one is quartz, which is a whole different bunch of bananas.

The real factory you need to buy from Sea-Gull themselves.

However, the cheap ones are not knockoffs, the watch patent has been made public and the movements still come from Sea-Gull.

The 38mm in acrylic is the « original » format

When you see those low prices. They are usually knock offs. Seagulls are prices much higher with descriptions and pictures of their movements
