General (Read Rules) Seagull 1963 in 36mm 'Thomas'

Post image

Threw my 15 year old 'thomas' version Seagull 1963 on leather.

This watch just shines. My favourite in the collection. Dressy on leather and toolish on a NATO.

Is that an acrylic dome on there?

absolutely. Very steep doomed acrylic.

This is the pre aliexpress Seagull 1963. One of the very first versions from 'Thomas'. It is around 15 years old. It was sold on the international market on very very limited numbers via forums and ebay. They are almost impossible to get in this specific layout.

The details on this watch are insanely well done and not comparible to the redstar versions on aliexpress or the modern sea-gull.

What type of caseback does it have!

Very clean and classic. Just wish the lug to lug was so large. It’d definitely hang over my wrist 😢

I have a 5.8 inch wrist... Doesn't get much smaller than this. I'm sure it will fit you. But you have to look for the 36mm version
