Such a beautiful watch.. definitely next on my list

Why is it plan B? Is it because this is a Sugess, wheras your other post is a genuine Seagull?

This is based on your latest post has the watch with two lines of text above the 6 position?

Is there much / any noticeable difference?

There's very little difference between the two, they're both Seagull originals, FKJB is the one that's copied by everyone and had a run of 5500, the Plan B is a slightly different face and was limited to 650.

They're both with the ST19 movement, I think one has the Swanneck but can't recall off hand. The script on the back is is different, the FKJB has a solid back and mine came with a display option, Plan B I think was only with the display. The script on the bridges is different (I don't think non-Seagulls have markings on the bridge), both movements are numbered, and the LE numbers are marked on the rear case.

On the face the Plan B has lume markers on each hour and on the hands, the font for the hours minutes and subdials are all different, the stick markers are different, the text is different, and they've added some rings which are very much visible when wearing but difficult to pick up when photographing.

Seeing them side by side, surprised that I didn't notice more differences. 🙄😂

I've noticed there are two versions of the plan B with a significant difference in price. Any idea what that is all about?
