It's shown as "Sea View Estate" on the maps today, but T remembers it was called "Watson's Building":

The present day Sea View Building used to be Watson's Building. I remember Watson's used to have a soft drinks production plant there in the late 1960's/early 1970's I could not recall since when was the building renamed to Sea View Building. I could only recall it was already called Sea View Building in the 1990's. Older generations of Causeway Bay/North residents would still call it Watson's Building anyway.... T

Hi David, Looking it up at random and found (http://www.hongkongoffice.com/building_search/office_profile.asp?B=5458) the building was completed in 1966. So I guess you have a building completion year now. T
