No, Sead’s price is still USD279. I just ordered from Sead.

Leather strap is actually really comfortable, not hard at all, may even be a bit to soft as it looks like it will wear out quicker than a good quality band.

Thanks for pics! How is the quality of the crystal?

 

[alexsss]

It looks like it has a domed crystal as well, which makes it extra cool

 

[trombone]

How is the AR in that crystal?

I see this is 41mm, any idea how this wears on the wrist? I like the look but I'm curious is it would be a little small on my 7.25" (~18.4cm) wrist.

I have the same sized wrist and similar watches wear perfect on me.. but I am out of my big watch phase so it’s imo.

I'm well past oversized watches myself. Unfortunately I don't have the same luck as you with smaller watches. Even some 40-42mm watches look a little undersized on me, example my Stienhart ocean 1 vintage or my buddies Tudor BB. Actually recieved comments on how small it looks. The quarantine 15 I put on probably doesn't help lol.

Anyway I kept staring at the pictures and I just went ahead and ordered one so I'll see. Love the retro look of the watch.

I’m on the fence with this one, so please let us know how you go. Pics, source etc? Cheers.

I ended up going with Trusty: https://trustytime.asia/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=21767

I tried emailing sead but I didn't have any luck. Though I'm not sure if my messages were being sent as I was using my phone and was having some issues. Though I paid a premium everything's been smooth so far with Andrew. Just received my tracking info so with any luck I'll have the watch in a couple of weeks. I'll post some pics when I get it.

So just to confirm, the chrono functions work? ie: does the 12 hour counter also move or is it like the Omega speedmaster that has the 12 hours counter stopped at 0?

It's a basic 3-6-9 for the 7750 so the chrono works just fine.

Thanks Dev1ant, but since the Omega Speedmaster also uses a 7750 clone, any idea why the chrono hour counter is slaved to the hour hand?

 

[trombone]

Most oft he Omega Speedmaster reps use a handwound Seagut ST19 movement.
I just got my Longines Bigeye Avigation from Sead and i love the watch.
The chrono hour counter is definately not slaved to the hour hand.
Only complain i have, is the missing Antireflective Coating on the crystal. Will post pictures later.
