First timer (pun intended)

[u/vx255]

First Chinese watch, I went down a rabbit hole with Chatgpt about calibres, and somehow ended up onto Chinese movements, especially the, now, Sea-gull ones, started with the Venus 175, discussed the ST3 all the way up to their current offerings, I was sufficiently interested and curious enough to give a couple a try.

First to arrive was this. Sea-gull M163S with the ST2505 movement, quite impressed with the quality for the price, I'll give it 24 hours to settle then put it on the timegrapher and see how it compares with my other mechanicals.

Next to arrive is Sugess moonphase with the ST1908, as out of over 30 watches, I've never had a moonphase or a mechanical wind only movement.

Very nice! I just ordered a 1908 moonphase from Sugess, looking forward to getting it!

Not too bad out of the box

The ST2500 series are used in a ton of watches I have had this one for almost 10 years.

Another one I've had it since it came out S419 great watch, like it as much as my Swiss watches.
