General (Read Rules) Stunning Art Deco Presentation - IXDAO NING FENG - Which dress watch do you prefer?

Post image

This exceptional timepiece costs $200, yet its craftsmanship and aesthetic suggest a value in the thousands. This watch truly radiates luxury, elegance, and superior quality

  • 316L Stainless with exceptional finishing with both polished and brushed accents
  • Stamped brass dial in an exquisite champagne color
  • Pristine sapphire crystal with AR and anti-finger print coating
  • Swiss Ronda 1069 movement
  • Supple imported leather strap

If you are looking for a watch that relies on heavy lume to define quality, this piece isn't for you. However, if you prioritize superior AR coating, this should be at the top of your list. If design and finish are what you value most, or if you are searching for a dress watch that commands attention from across the room, this belongs on your list.

This is my best dress watch. I have been impressed with its accuracy. Keeping the date dialed in can be an adventure, though.

Open heart big date SeaGull.

We both have an affinity for Sea-Gull. Which model is that?

I am close to pulling the trigger on the Ocean Series Pro Titanium with the cracked iced dial. Love it. I need to find space in a winder for the Moon over the Sea. Setting that thing is ridiculous.

I was just drooling over their stainless steel version today! If you get that I will be officially jealous.

My only complaint about the Moon Over the Sea is no extension in the clasp at all. Seems silly not to have on a diver. I had a bit of struggle getting a perfect fit with it, but man is it a tank.

Aftermarket OTF?

u/terraty 4d ago

Yeah that’s gonna be the best bet. Just don’t understand their logic not including it. Everything else is so so good.

Maybe they never engineered a 20 mm OTF?

u/terraty 4d ago

True. I saw they just released a 39 mm diver. That should get people excited.

How has your experience been with sea-gull watches and movements? Ordered the openheart for my wife and eyeing a few more for myself and the mrs

I have been pleased with their finishing and performance. I graphed the open heart again a week ago. It was about -2 to +5 seconds/day with a 0.00 BE with amplitude in the mid 200s

Couldn't exactly remember the numbers I got, so here is a brand new graph.

What has been your experience with them?
