Sea-Gull ST5
I bought this Sea-Gull ST5 as NOS from AliExpress for HKD500 (approximately USD65) around 1 year ago. I have rarely worn it as I currently only have 18mm brown straps which tends to clash with the dial (which includes a gold chapter ring which gives a "golden glow").
However, recently I purchased some 18mm black leather straps which minimises the glow. The ST5 movement contained within has the renowned hand engraved stripes but is missing the movement cover seen in other ST5 watches.

Dust covers are often missing, and it's not a deal-breaker, for me, anyways. The ST5 striped movements are gorgeous (and there are clear case backs available on Ali, if you want to show it off--be careful of the measurement is all, but they're not expensive).
Here's two pages connected to the "service watch" inscription in red on your example.

I have a few ST5s myself and I love them.
