Not a lot of reviews out there for this Kickstarter-funded brand. There's been at least one Maen drop before. Can anyone that got in the last time speak to their experience with their watch? Coming immediately to my mind is whether it wouldn't just be worth it to spend 50-100 more for the SG M308 and get an auto with a decorated movement and guilloche dial. Granted, stylistically they're two very different watches, but still. Anyone have any personal impressions? Thanks, and good luck to those getting in to the drop!

DoYouHaveTheTimeIt does not seem possible to get a guilloche dial for such a price. Is it made in China?

SkipPpYep. Seagull is Chinese. But there are other midrange watches with guilloché dials. They're no longer exclusive to high end watches. Even if the guilloché dial on a high end watch may be more elaborate and made from enamel

DoYouHaveTheTimeI have seen the Orient ones, but they are stamped, so they are not real guilloché. Most of the guilloché dials I like are silver. I am actually curious how one would make an enamel guilloché. I would think it would shatter. I thought one could only carve into brass or silver dials? I could see laquering over a guillochéd brass dial, but carving into enamel must be one hell of a skill.
