Someone contacted the Seagull company and found that he price of this quarter repeater should be"12,000"Euro. It is made of platium.
China Made will likely become CHINESE MADE in the future but both sound pretty strange. They should come up with something inventive my suggetioin would be simply CHI MVT for Chinese movement...or even better we can call it Chinese Movement....yeah movement just like communism
I was talking about the colour...salmon colour ...do I have to explain everything...G... double layers of meaning all that.....ruined
Salmon is a range of pale pinkish-orange to light orange colors, named after the color of salmon flesh. Actual salmon color varies from almost white to deep red, depending on their levels of the carotenoid astaxanthin due to how rich a diet of krill and shrimp the fish feeds on; the salmon raised on fish farms are given artificial coloring in their food
That is exactly the problem with this dial you are a true horologist now explain why this is so odd to all of us
(I appologize to all that I did not spot slickdicks answer before now....)
I understand that you are not used to this kind of watches but the mistake is so elementary that you will likely laugh when the solution comes...
@baltic
Yes this could be a mistake and I was thinking the same thing at first......but the mistake is actually much more serious one than that...you did not solve this one yet
Come on guys....solve it....before TTK arrives and spoils the fun
I am shocked......this is RWG......you should know well what mistake is made on that sea-dial solve this before TTK comes, solves and makes fun of us all

repeater watch
Notice the CHINA MADE on the dial
Lots of talk about the Sea-Gull movements lately....they also make their own watches
Unfortunately the individuals in charge of the Sea-Gull watches are as lacking in horological skills as the ones the make replicas....Someone was really asleep at the wheel at Sea-Gull...or is a result of the fact that time is divided in another way in China than we in the west are used to Chinese people tend to divide the hour into 12 intervals so maybe they are in the right and we are wrong
Can you spot the "glaring" mistakes in the dials on these Sea-Gull watches take your time

The sales office is open on Saturdays until 4pm. We were met by one of the sales managers and shown the collection in the showroom. We saw the Tourbillon model (list price

Your movement is a ST28 version
It looks like the classic A.Schild pattern used by both Poljot and Citizen (many years ago), but the bridges are different to both of those. I should take a look over Roland Ranfft's database for a closer match. Vostok calibre 2612.1. After all the mechanical alarm used to be the only affordable complication unique to Russia...
