Today we have a little 'gem flower'(BaoShiHua)...

Manual wind with a Chinese Standard(Tongji) movement.

This is a midsize and elegant dress watch.

Those hands remind me of someone...

They should because the watch is only 32mm across

One of several watches I bought at Walmart. Most were between $7CDN and $14CDN...

The movement is a hand windable automatic with hacking. It is A Nanning 2813. These are as well built as the Miyota 8200 they emulate.

Apr 1 but no foolin...

These ST5 movements are delicious to look at and they are excellent timekeepers as well!

This pair dates to around when Alpha watches first started in the mid to late 90s...

Some nice looking watches there Zeke, it amazes me the quality they can turn out for the price.

The last two really look the part, shame they only have 3 ATM rating, I have a dress watch that is supposed to have 10 ATM rating, don't think I will try it out though, they do have a habit of exaggerating a little, like if it has 2 pushers, even if they only change the day/date and calling it a Chronograph.

I tested these to 4ATM. That is high as my pressure tank can reach; they did not leak!

Another but bigger BaoShiHua...

$14CDN...

It is hand windable automatic but I removed the auto portion because it sucked and caused unnecessary drag when hand winding. Keeps decent time and has about 44 hrs of reserve.

The Alpha 'Grenade'

A fun watch...

I'm not into collecting Chinese watches as they often don't appeal to me, but this one makes me perk up a bit.

The last of my famous statesmen series...

Germaisian with a 100% Chinese DG2813 movement. This one has a AAA grade movement...

[Deleted]

One of my many Sea-Gull ST5 hand winders...

[ausimax]

A nice collection of Chinese watches you have, all mine are recent models there don't seem to be many old Chinese models on the bay.

I never seem to see any SEA-GULL branded watches, only other brands like Alpha with seagull movements, have they gone out of making complete watches?
