A Quick Look at the Seagull 1963 42mm
A little while back on worn&wound we took a look at the Seagull 1963 chronograph (if you don’t recall or missed that one, click here and then come back, we’ll wait). The Seagull 1963 is a faithful representation of column-wheel chronograph watches manufactured in the 1960’s for the People’s Liberation Army Air Force. The hand wound movement contained inside was developed in 1961 for this program and is based upon the Venus 175. The Tianjin Watch Factory built and delivered 1400 of these watches to the Chinese Air Force in 1963, hence the re-issue’s name. The watch came in at 38mm with 18mm lugs which was perhaps bordering on large for the 1960’s but is clearly small(ish) by today’s standards. The Seagull brand has now given those who prefer a bit more wrist presence a 42mm version of the 1963.While the size was boosted to 42mm, the movement was not changed. It is the same as in the 38mm version of the watch: a hand-wind, column wheel chrono

eBay sellers with good ratings. "Dont Trust Them"
The feedback given by a buyer called "cenac" was only yesterday this: "Fake watch. Confirmed by an authorised Tissot dealer".Only hours later the feedback was revised: "Great Seller!!! Good transaction, I recommend stronglyThanks". I am quite puzzled. Why would the buyer revise it's feedback like that? It is the buyer's right to send the item back and keep the feedback for warning to others. The only logic explanation would be that the seller agreed to compensate the shipping cost or even return all the money without demanding the watch back, on the condition that the feedback is revised.Has anybody come across something like this?By the way most of these "trustworthy" sellers with feedback over 500 or even 1000 only recently started selling watches. Most of them earned their great feedback with something far cheaper (like batteries).Just my humble opinion as always.

My first AP!
Hi everyone,I just put a down payment on my first AP! It's a 15450st blue dial. They told me the delivery of this watch would be around fall of this year so the count down has begun...But does this sound about the right time frame?Also, I've been hearing different answers from different ADs and boutiques about the exclusivity of this blue dial 15450st.Some are telling me that the 15450st blue dial is only boutique exclusive, some are saying that the blue dial 15450st has been discontinued, and some are saying that they are not exclusive to only boutiques.Does anyone have any info on this?Much appreciated.

I'm Feeling Blue

Weird experience with omega box!
So I just purchased an omega PO and noticed the box was starting to peel the shiny coating off.So me being a mechanic and owning a shop, I thought Id take and air nozzle and at least blow off the pieces that were just hanging there, and while I was doing that the air nozzle was blowing off the entire coating very easily, so I continued and did the whole box, completely, and to my amazement there was a beautiful suede fabric underneath, see pics below!The bottom pic is of the pieces that were blown off
