Have you learned some Chinese? Because it will be very useful especially when you are buying something from China. Do you know taobao? You can find everything on this shopping platform, and the price is much cheaper than that on other sites, so, learn some Chinese. I often shop on taobao, there are a lot of watches in different styles, some are very cheap, some have attractive designs, I have an idea, if anyone of you guys who want to buy some Chinese watches, please contact me, I can help you buy on taobao, and I know watches, I can do quality check and then ship to you.
Today, I am going to show you another watch I saw on taobao, does any of you guys like this watch? I like this watch and I have been always looking for such type of watches that have a bit military style. I do not see the brand name, there is a five pointed star logo under 12 and “19 ZUAN” printing on the dial, what does “19 Zuan” mean? It is not a brand name, probably means that the movement in that watch has 19 jewels. This watch comes with two types of bands, one is nylon and the other is a leather strap, it looks a bit like one of the Sea-gull watches I introduced before, which is the 21 Zuan Pilot watch and also the best seller, but this watch is using an automatic movement. I like the nylon band, which matches the dial better, while the black leather strap looks more in line with another model in white dial.
Besides its nylon band, my all attention is on the dial. It is not hard to know the function of each small dial, the one at 6 o’clock is for display of small seconds, the power reserve indicator is set between 10 and 11, the small dial at 2 o’clock is date display. Each small hand is blued steel, and the central hour hand and minute hand also have blued steel edge. I like the five pointed star design at 12 o’clock, it is tridimensional with a small red star on the center, the hour markers are also polished very well with smooth edge, you can not find metal burr. The date can be adjusted through the button on the case. When you winding the watch, the small hand on the power reserve indicator will also move.
The watch is powered by a ST1780 movement, which is developed by Sea-gull company, but this movement has a 28 jewels, not 19. This movement owns a stability that has been accepted by a lot of watch fans who love to buy homage watches.
Conclusion:
For watch fans who often buy homage watches made in China, this vintage pilot-style watch is a great choice, it has a bit military style of those Chinese watches made in old times, the Sea-gull machine offers a durable stability. The most important thing is that this watch is on sale under 60 USD at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256807622682382.html
