The Seagull looked to be OK to me. Whatever warm and fuzzy I used to get when I read "Swiss Made" is long gone. I only have two issues with the Seagull. The first is the hair and crud in the movement. I would like to be reassured that the movements would be inspected and thoroughly cleaned before the watch was assembled. I would assume this to be the case but I would ask before purchasing. The other issue is with parts and servicing. I would like to hear that spares are available and that there would be a place I could send it if I ever needed service.
