I was able to examine a few Celadons last week.
General quality impression is excellent!

I have two Imperials and have handled a few Beihai's. As KtWUS noted above, the Celadon Imperial is just a more traditional dress watch without the date. The tolerances of the fit definitely are of a higher level than the Beihai, and I like the Beihai! Plus, the finish on the hands and indices are somewhat nicer.1. I don't own a Beihai, only a Celadon so I can't do a direct comparison. However, I'll say that the design of the Imperials are more appealing to me than the Beihais. I also dislike date windows which almost all the Beihais have. As for servicing, I'd probably go through Ben himself (MonsieurXu on this forum). I'm not sure how servicing a Beihai would work. I would guess a good independent watchmaker should be able to handle the movement.
First, the hands size looks amazing on this watch. They are a perfect size.Those hands are tiny and there's no AR I believe. The contract is not refundable and when I told Ben I wanted to change colors he went into a big fit about the condition of my watch which I only got by going postal. He showed no intention to help me, just value the price he would Clcharge for exchange.
Yeah, good idea.The end.
TICK, Tick, 18 months and counting.I know you are still waiting on the leather travel case which will be delivered next month, but the lengthy delay was caused by an ownership change at our leather case supplier and resulting issues with quality. We had one particularly problematic supplier which we've since eliminated and replaced, but he was the cause of many long delays and issues with quality, which is why I kept rejecting their output and insisted they be improved. I can't bring myself to deliver a watch that is less than what I expect of my brand. As for the wait, well I'm truly sorry about that, but these will never happen again as I have rectified all issues and improved our production process significantly.
