I'm so thankful the ST1901 became popular enough to spawn all of these new microbrands and sub variants of cheap-ish mechanical chronos. It's such unobtanium at these prices on the swiss mkt even second hand. This is a really fun watch, I keep saying I'm gonna get one.
Seagull movements can make beautiful watches, I just have a hard time with the idea that being what it is, a true Chinese chronograph for under $300.. The day it inevitably needs a service, It's basically been totalled. Even buying a new movement and swapping it yourself is high risk and low reward compared to.just replacing it
To be fair we are learning that a lot of movements are just swapped out during service, Tudor included.
