Thian, Peter, or anyone who might know this off the top
off your head....I'm thinking of buying another watch from
Manbusyie...an aviator style. The two I am considering have the same
movement ( Asian 6498 ) but the two look different in that one has
a large "fast slow" lever and the other does not. Are these movments
of a decent quality and why would one have the lever ad thhe other not?
It may just come down to cosmetics as I find the one without a lever
looks cleaner.

a 6497 movement is also offered. Which would be the better of the two?
Any opinions are welcomed, and appreciated.

The answer could also be on the WUS chinese forum somewhere hehe....

Just googled the movements and found this on the wikipedia..

and I believe the Sea Gull has the long adjuster lever while the Hangzhou is the other one.
Both are relatively good movements so choosing the one you like the looks of best is made easy
