Good, it's a top shelf movement at a basement price.I will probably end up going with one of these. How is the accuracy?
It gets loose. That's not really a movement issue but sloppy QC by the hand factory.Common problem is the chronograph hand doesn't reset or gets loose. But still... Much easier to work with rather than those eta 7750.
That's the only problem i heard about this movement, broken click spring, I am never hesitant about this movement.I had an alpha Daytona, which I believe the click spring broke. I hear it's a pretty common problem. I hear nothing but great things about this movement, but I'd be hesitant to buy one again.
Bullet proof, the best chrono out of China by a long shot. A true column wheel chronograph at a steal of a price. These are used in 3k gens and are a development of the old Venus 75 that Sea-Gull bought the rights, plans and production line for way back in 1962 and used to produce the first China chrono, the Air Force '63. Production of the movement started again in the 80's with this improved version and no doubt will continue for ever. You can even buy a reissue of the '63 chrono, here's mine: http://horologium.com.au/2013/09/08/hands-on-sea-gull-1963-reissue
Question guys.. I recently purchased a Vintage daytona with Venus 75 movement. Runs great but when I use the chrono function, the big second hand stutters quite a bit... Should I have it serviced right away or just stick it out without using the chrono function?
Yea I have 2 one runs smoother than other. The other has noticible stutter. Like miyota stutter but not limited to gravity dependent position.shutters, how much? You do know that the ST-19 is a 21,600 bph movement and its not going to be as smooth as an ETA clone.
That's the only problem i heard about this movement, broken click spring, I am never hesitant about this movement.

If the click spring does ever break, are there members here who can replace it? I had a ST17 a while back and nobody could get Seagull parts.
