Own a Sugess Top Time and it is great. Really nice.
I have a Seagull 1963 and a Baltany “Dirty Dozen” which are among the few watches that will never leave my collection.
The Seagull 1963 will never leave mine either.
I bought one for my kid too as he fell in love with mine.
My only regret is that I bought the sapphire at that time, because I did not know better about vintage and the charm of scratchy acrylic

I love the moonswatch. The Swatch FF is just plain ugly
I need to see this as I don't think I've seen this one yet. Chinese watch is a good subreddit to be fair
These are two really nice pieces on wrist, helped by excellent choices of strap. Well played !I have a Seagull 1963 and a Baltany “Dirty Dozen” which are among the few watches that will never leave my collection.
Love the Seagull 1963 as well, as it's not a replica and not an homage, but a GEN with a unique identity and charisma, in this case the Chinese Red Star. That said, the watch WILL most likely leave your collection before your child is grown up, @1016_idiot_savant , @Karbon74, because it will die on you and fixing it would cost more than a new watch.

That’s alright. It’s not an expensive watch and honestly I rarely wear it too. it’s more of a collection piece
That would be the reason I'd keep it, it's iconic in its own way and very much within the watch community
Yup, although it no longer has that Uncle Mao's watch of choice look, that blue dial is gorgeousThat’s basically a revamped 1963

Personally I like the Uncle Mao look
Check this Soviet one out
What's the name of this watch? it has space age vibes to itIndeed

I called it the Tcherno-Byld
It is a Vostok komandirskie
I modded the case, aged the custom dial and custom hands. The concept is a watch that survived the Chernobyl explosion and stopped due to radiation 15 mins after the meltdown of the nuclear core…hence the imprint of the hands on the dial at that time

Oh yes, I forgot to say that the movement comes from a Ukrainian fellow who I am convinced salvaged it from the frontline off someone’s wrist and serviced it
