This wasn't going to be my next watch purchase, but it was a deal I couldn't pass on.

Seagull ST19 movement?

I'll answer myself - no it isn't. It's a Seiko mechaquartz, whatever that is.
Thought it looked similar to below but the subdials are closer together in your watch.

yeah not sure what mechaquartz is but it says its a Seiko movement. Seems to tell the time fine but the Chrono is not as smooth as my other Seiko's, not a big deal though as i don't think i will be using this one for race timings

Early morning work mail call of the Colossus R1 courtesy of @shavetheman who stocks the entire range, can't wait to give this a go tomorrow morning!

I should mention the exceptionally fast delivery time, sent express

Three beautiful Germans...

(top) Wacker "Best Tradition", 6/8 full hollow, new

(centre) Fritz Bracht "Tennis", 6/8 full hollow, mint

(bottom) Henckels 10072, 6/8 full hollow, carbon steel, near mint

Apologies for the photo. Straights are hard enough to photograph at the best of times because they're so shiny, but 3 at once was a real challenge...

Anyway, some serious honing fun coming up, then the pleasure of shaving with these babies. I have high expectations of all of them
