A Quick Look at the Seagull 1963 42mm
A little while back on worn&wound we took a look at the Seagull 1963 chronograph (if you don’t recall or missed that one, click here and then come back, we’ll wait). The Seagull 1963 is a faithful representation of column-wheel chronograph watches manufactured in the 1960’s for the People’s Liberation Army Air Force. The hand wound movement contained inside was developed in 1961 for this program and is based upon the Venus 175. The Tianjin Watch Factory built and delivered 1400 of these watches to the Chinese Air Force in 1963, hence the re-issue’s name. The watch came in at 38mm with 18mm lugs which was perhaps bordering on large for the 1960’s but is clearly small(ish) by today’s standards. The Seagull brand has now given those who prefer a bit more wrist presence a 42mm version of the 1963.While the size was boosted to 42mm, the movement was not changed. It is the same as in the 38mm version of the watch: a hand-wind, column wheel chrono

Can Independent Watch Maker Service the ROO Chrono?
Guys,Is it possible that an independent watchmaker service a ROO Chronograph? Or we must go to authorised AD for any servicing issue?Before I own several Rolexes and always go to independent watchmakers for servicing...Regards,

PP Strap Questions
Mates - How does the PP rubber strap in the heat / humidity compare to the PP Alligator strap ? Looking at a reference which comes with the alligator strap and trying to see if the heat would make it uncomfortable to wear. Any experience or comments would be helpful.
