“Fantastic watch for the money. The movement feels solid enough, accuracy seems fair for the price (~+15s/d), and the finishing is gorgeous from a short distance. I bought a Forstner Komfit with straight ends to replace the nato strap that came with the watch, aiming to give it a bump up in perceived quality/finish (and to expose the caseback!) while keeping with the vintage aesthetic. The nato itself is a bit itchy at the stitching ends, but does look pretty darn cool with the watch. I’ll likely use both over the years.
Found plenty of “Seagull” options out there, but after reading reviews on Marc’s service and watching a few of his youtube videos, I felt confident the few extra bucks were worth it for the peace of mind. As such, my purchasing experience was also extremely quick and smooth!
Would give 5 stars, but about a week into wearing it, my watch stopped running a few hours after fully winding it. I reset the the time and it immediately started up again. Will post again if the issue persists.”
“Incredible watch! Bought for the girlfriend and she loves it. Looks good even on my 7" wrist. Nato was surprisingly nice too, however ended up switching it out for a 18mm leather band.
Being this watch is a little thick (especially considering the overall dimensions), with the nato the watch sits a little high/tall on the wrist especially if you're used to really thin watches.”
“Love this watch. It's downright charming, and keeping great time (+2-3 sec/day). Column Wheel hand-wind chrono with Swiss roots for less than $400? Yes please.”
“Purchased as a gift. The watch looks much nicer in person. The colors in the stock photo lean “elementary school” whereas the actual watch is more “vintage authentic.” Very pleased with this purchase and with buying from Long Island Watch.”
