1970s Tianjin Sea-Gull ST7 automatic -- quite rare
I am now the very proud owner of a quite rare Tianjin Sea-Gull 28 jewel day/date auto ST7 from roughly 1975 or so. I've now worn it over 70 hoursit's keeping time within 3 seconds per day, and since the thing started ticking as soon as I picked out of the box, I haven't had to wind it. The Sea-Gull ST7 (very easy-to-adjust) quick-set day-date automatic movement was a largely unrecognized high point in 1970s PRC watch engineering, a first class automatic movement with micrometer regulation...that could not find a market: At the time this watch was produced, the Chinese either couldn't afford it or, if they could, were more interested in the growing influx of cheaper or flashier, and often quartz, watches from outside Chinaand (since PRC China had been essentially closed to westerners) export market customers were not aware of the high capacity for quality PRC manufacturers offered and so would not venture the higher price required to make large-scale production of the ST7 possible.

Lord Elgin
Hi, just started with the group and I'm having a great time reading the posts. I do need some help identifying this watch, though. It's currently being rebuilt, but i can't find any information on it other than is an AS 1882/83 1986 movement marked as Elgin 352 with case number 1501. It has a crown at 2:00 position to rotate internal bezel and one at 4:00 for winding and time set. Date is quick set on lower crown by pushing in. Can anyone help?
