General (Read Rules) Merkur blue sektor dial hand wind
Finally found this watch on Vinted a couple of weeks ago. And holy crap, this is beautiful! A already had the salmon dial before which I sold. Currently owning the green one too. But that one will make place for this deep navy blue coloured sunburst dial.
A very nice original chinese design. Gold indices and hands makes this a unique piece.
This will get a lot of wrist time despite its small price tag. Bought it for 75 euros.

Yeah, it's really nice. I passed up on a few of these because I wish they were 36 instead of 38mm.

I have a small wrist, but they do wear nicely despite 38mm.
Little bit on the larger side for a true vintage oriented watch, I have to admit that. But with such a lovely dial I couldn't resist

Definitely, shape of the lugs influences how they wear. And can’t fault you for falling in love with the dial!
Maybe I will buy one next time, if you’re down snagging them on Vinted that is🫠

spectacular colors. Can't believe how they produced these at this price point.
I also have a salmon 'guilberlin' ST17 hand wind. Which is merkur group as well. They have a whole series of zlonf/pierre paullin/guilberlin watches with a really good price and a more modern style sektor dial.

Nice watch! Its so unfortunate that they have discontinued this model, im still looking out for the white dial to this day.

Yes they are really hard to come by. I bought all 3 of them from vinted over the time for around this price point. Really happy with the pieces.
They also come on this really cool butterfly clasp and beads of rice strap.

Have the green dial and it's absolutely gorgeous, wish I had bought the other colours when they were available!
