Chinese submariner?

Hi!
I have recently bought a new watch! This comes from China!

It is a Chinese divers watch from the Chinese Navy, The Peoples Navy. As you can see from the picture (it is the one to the right!) it has the days written in Chinese!

You might discover that it has some similar lines to my 16613!



Quite cool!
Does some of you have any knowledge of the movement inside or some similar details of this?

So they used "some familiar lines" that the Sub design has to copy that watch?...

I doubt anyone here will know about the movement...IMO

Maybe a Sea-Gull? Or maybe another bird brain.

Can we get a larger picture?

I'd like to see the detail of the dial.

I would guess that if the watch is used by the armed forces of China that the movement would be Sea-Gull, as they are generally recognized as China's premier watch manufacturerer.

Even official purpose is a blatant ripoff. Typical Chinese watch.
