What would you get?
I’m torn between a Chinese jump hour (seagull movement) or a swiss watch with alarm complication (Zeit Zentrum). Thanks

A jump hour is a cool technological achievement but from a user perspective it's pretty useless and longer to set the right time and day when you pick the watch from the box.
I keep all my automatic watches in winders, so not really the huge issue. But good point.
Getting both is the best option in my opinion but I’m sure there still will be the decision of which one to pick up first. At the point only you can really decide which one you like more and why. Watch buying is so personal with all of the options, opinions, and focus. What do you think is the best move for you Alex?
I’m usually more decisive, the Swiss watch caught my attention because I can’t find any information about it and it could be a one of one. And the jump hour the only minus to me is a European sounding name on a Chinese watch. I probably buy the Chinese one first since it’s just one click away and meet the person with the Swiss watch so I can check the condition and negotiate an appropriate price :-). So best move buy both, so I don’t have any regrets.
Perhaps if you can meet in person first and see the Swiss one on your wrist you might decide that’s the one and not get the other one. Conversely you may decide you do not like the Swiss one and you can still try the Chinese one. I guess that would work in reverse order as well as long as the person with the Swiss watch isn’t keen to sell quickly.

Yes I will try both of them before trying, that’s a given :-)
Neither.
