NWA #1: First MOP dial

Had a poll on here a couple of weeks back but ended up going with the least popular option because I know best!

Really glad I did as this MOP dial is absolutely stunning ❤️

Small 36mm case and really classy look, not my usual style but that's exactly why I went with it and I'm in love

Seagull ST1701 Automatic

Sapphire glass with AR coating

Swiss Super-Luminova

316L Stainless Steel, Square Case

36mm diameter

8.8mm thick

43.3mm lug to lug

18mm lug width

100m WR

Screw-Down crown

That is stunning. 😍 Frequently looked at these 1926 Baltany. Can never make my mind up which one to get, so I didn't 😱

Mop is fantastic.

I converted a video into a gif with an app on my phone 😁 was necessary as a picture didn't do this dial justice

The movement is a Sea-gull ST1701

I will add some specs and a link to the post

Already checked out the movement options, the Miyota is far more expensive! Probably superior, all relevant to wrist time.

The ST1701 has a date, so this is ghosted, xas the phrase goes?

Attaboy! Disregarding popular opinion is a Boss move! Your Wrist Your Rules. Do You!

It doesn't have a ghost date so it's either modified or a different ST17 variant.

I preferred the sea-gull as I really like the small seconds. In terms of quality at first glance, The winding is the smoothest I've ever felt in any watch, I'll follow up with an accuracy report tomorrow!

I think what Baltany are doing is really cool especially if you're in the UK. Definitely worth adding a nice vintage strap IMO.

YES to this! Wow!

100% agree, open to strap suggestions 😁

Great choice! I have the Oyster 1926 and I love it.

@weng_c did you see this post?

This is my favourite out of all the new watches I received this month!

·

I just did! Thanks for tagging me to let me know about it!

·

I have been admiring this one as well as many watch lovers. I love this design and I think the two-tone with MOP is a fantastic choice. So classy. Congratulations!

·

Have one myself, loved it for what it was, well made and not another blatant rip off of a modern watch like so many other Aliexpress brands. Unfortunately wasn't giving it the wrist time it deserved so it's on my sell list this year.
