Don’t know if I’m a fan but I find them interesting and plan to buy one sometime.

I am wearing one right now!

Too dark for a good photo, but I’ll upload a better one later.

Not sure if this counts, but it uses the same ST19 movement…I preferred it to the usual 1963 design:

Always wanted to mod one like this and using the st19 but wanted a sterile dial.

You could always grab one of these from Phylida and use one of the sterile ST19 dials that's available on eBay.

Not a fan of chronographs but the Seagul looks different then the rest and i definitely want one.

I am totally a fan. I like the Seagull ST19 column wheel chronograph movement and the retail price. What I really love is the look of this watch. The gold numerals and blue hands contrast the cream dial and that tiny pop of red in the star just balances the whole watch. Stunningly beautiful watch and if you put it on a red strap you have taken it to the level of eye candy.

as mentioned I'm a fan. I find the sugess and seagulls to be great watches. the ST19 movement is really pretty impressive.

Another great company that uses the ST19 is StudioUnderDog. If you can find one that is, I would love to get my hands on the watermelon dial

I wear mine weekly and thoroughly enjoy doing so-I’m mostly into divers,GSchocks-that sort of watch-as they fit my active lifestyle but wearing the SEAGULL 1963 makes me slow down and pay attention as I don’t want to harm it-they’re a bit dressy and frail compared to the others.
