Thanks dude, I just took at ST3600 completely apart and got it back together!!! Super excited about this!!! I've been moding watches and got a little board with it all, this is more interesting and fun. Hoping to get to the point I can do a service, if not just on my own watches to bring some vintage pieces back to life.

[@jsgwatches]

Top work Jeremy! And I agree, taking a watch apart and putting it back together is definitely satisfying, especially watching the balance wheel kick back up 🤌 JSG

[@mCblue79]

IMHO I just find this specific Seagull movement really pretty to look at, particularly the back side. Nice vid!

[@TheWhitburger]

Thank you for your tutorial. With your guidance, I was able to disassemble and reassembled the seagull st36 with my first attempt. It was an awesome feeling seeing that balance wheel kick start.

[@gioviredigonda2887]

Great video : Seagull's movements are really like "training ships" for watchmaking ! Many thanks

Just got mine. Will be doing this at the weekend. Great to have something to follow. Thanks for your efforts.

[@geraldbasford6713]

Greetings from the Nap Valley. I think your videos are great I'm hooked. I just sprung for a microscope and am working on a camera setup. I'm determined to master this skill. I'm 77 with a long background in mechanical trade. I still have a steady hand and good eyesight. My major issue is to remember assembly and disassembly order. I completely admire watching folks like yourself that make it look so easy. I'm now fabrication a plexiglass side and end shield on my bench hoping it will help those flying little parts. Thanks for your great videos. Jerry

[@TomasWatchReviews]

such a wonderful video, was very relaxing to watch it on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks.

[@BenjaminGonzalez-wv3cy]

What I immediately noticed about your Seagull ST36 watch, is how smooth the indented pieces are, that cradle the movements. I like that feature in watches...

[@fredfarnackle5455]

That is an excellent video. Camera work was good with clear closeups and the diction was clear, nicely paced and at a good even volume. I've just taken delivery of one of those movements as a start for my watch repair hobby, as soon as I get all the tools etc I'll hoe into it. If I can get mine running with the same accuracy as yours then I'll be well chuffed. Thanks!👍

[@OnTimeRelojes]

Good job and great video, I love this watch, the cost-benefit ratio is amazing.

[@greenalien8503]

I got one of these straight from China for $41 shipped, and it's literally my most accurate watch. I didn't need to adjust or service it or anything, it came straight from the factory with less than +-2 seconds per day

[@jsgwatches]

Im a big fan of these now, would definitely try out some of their other movements, I've got my eyes on the ST19 chronograph 👀 JSG

[@greenalien8503]

@@jsgwatches I actually have an ST1901 chronograph movement (non swan neck version), and sadly enough, it's actually my least accurate movement, yet it's still well within a decent standard and is absolutely beautiful to look at. The non swan neck version isn't nearly as accurate as the 3600, however it is still a very pretty movement, and they're both really nice to own 😌

[@hoppysport2872]

You're videos are wonderful...great production and presentation. When I first noticed the video description and thumbnail, the movement looked the same as the one in my 2007 Panerai Black Seal PAM183 "clone" that a friend sold me for $125 new. I've worn that watch twice a week since 2007 and it's been pretty much perfect. I alternate it with my Omega Speedmaster Professional, my Rolex Datejust from 1969, and a Bulova Lunar Pilot. That Seagull movement has been so accurate. I recently had it regulated for the first time and it was +- 8 seconds...after 15 years of use. After regulation it was +- 2 seconds.

[@jonathanturner4220]

Your PAM has a Unitas movement I gather. I have a number of ST3600 timepieces some by Wing Liang Android retired line.

This movement is basically Seagulls version of the Unitas 6@@@ range of movements. Same movement Pam 111 used to have inside. Seagull definitely has made their movements far better than they used to. Great video. Subscribed.

[@dodgydruid]

Seagull have certainly upped their game in several movements, the dry movement problem is still a persisting issue where movements are leaving the factory unoiled on certain parts but once corrected you should get a decent 10 year service window at least. I'm seriously looking at getting one of the Seagull mechanical chronograph movements and building from that, maybe a repro TinTin as the movement is only 58 dollars and I reckon 100-150 dollars would get you the parts for a decent mech chrono based around the Venus 175 build which is basically an up to date Strela movement, indeed I have a pristine porcelain Sekonda Strela dial here and if the measurements are correct I can have a beautiful Soviet dialled mech chrono.

Anyway, thank you for the video, it answered a lot of questions.

[@aaron2709]

Well done.

[@haping1]

Nice video. It's a great watch to work on and looks beautifull. Now you know that you pay way to much for a Panerai... Some tips: don't use a metal tweezer to pick up the dial. The dial will be damaged for sure. And when getting the mainspring out, get the dial out of the way! Or don't you love your dial? Next: NEVER use your US cleaner for the delicate movement parts. They will be damaged for sure! Try a piece of aluminium foil and you know what I mean.... Oh, and the crown wheel is wrong lubricated. The ring doesn't turn, lubricate the outer diameter of the ring. That part touches the rotating crown wheel. Have fun!

[@elgatto3133]

Tianjin Seagull is sort of hit or miss as an ebouche maker, but when they make sure their own movements are lubricated properly on their own watches, they're very impressive. Dial and hands come from a brand called Parnis, I'd be willing the case does too, but no telling.

[@neilpiper9889]

Parnis make good cases and dials. Seagull make great movements.

[@johnhannon]

I am enjoying your videos.These seem to be nice movements to learn on. The only thing I had great difficulty with was the balance jewel spring. When I hinged mine back, it fell out out of the setting and went pinging away into space. A small dot of rodico near the hinge point and good tweezers will help with this. Both movements I ordered also came with no lubrication anywhere. From what I have heard, they normally supply the movements that way and expect the end user to do it. This may be for the movement orders only and not the finished watch. Did your assembled watch seem to have any lubrication? Thanks!

[@ogenmatic]

New sub & have only watched a couple of your vids. Very enjoyable & even fascinating to me. Don’t think I have the patience, eyesight, or dexterity to do what you do but it would be an interesting video to see all your tools described with sources & prices for them.

Great video, thanks for the easy listen! I have a question for you though. If you were to start again would you go with a 6497 movement (as in this video) or an NH35/6 movement? I'm putting together my list for my own first prototype watch and I'm torn between the two !

[@dickycandraary4895]

I own the exact same watch, it is works perfectly since the day i bought it. Drop it a couple times, pretty robust i think. Now the glass a bit blured and I can spot dirts on the movement. Currently looking for maintenance service which is quite difficult in my town.

[@NathanChisholm041]

I bought a similar version but mine had the seconds at the 6! The movement kept excellent time and even has a sapphire crystal.

[@rage8kage]

The first watch I started on was a vintage Seiko LM. after alot of work and reading and scouring the net for old parts I got it running like a peach. I was so happy with myself but after a while a non repairable part just failed on me for just being old and it was kaputs (second driving wheel). Four hundred quid in the bin. It could have been any other part within and id be able to fix it at that point but this was the only riveted gear on the whole bloody watch.

[@jsgwatches]

I’ve actually just bought 2x seiko LM’s for future videos with faulty quickset stars, hoping to get them up and running without hiccups, but will be the first time working on a seiko 🙏

[@curiousassortment]

Excellent. I am going to be working on an ST36 movement (no dial or case) alongside Mark Wiles' book about mechanical watches. Could you recommend one a vid that shows how to find a case and dial that would fit this movement so that I could eventually build a useable watch? Thanks.

[@miladavaz3808]

Very chill video! May I ask what watchmaking course you took?

[@tommaguzzi1723]

One thing you didn't mention is that the crown wheel screw is an anti clockwise thread. New hobbyists could break it trying to remove it if they don't know this.

[@hamish8469]

I remembered that when taking the watch apart but the next day I spent 45 minutes trying to get it back in until I remembered. This is my first watch disassembly and assembly.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Always good to scan the comments for tips like this

[@Bob.martens]

That movement fits in my 4040 Bergeon movement holder:) I have the exact same watch. I just swapped dial, hands, stem and crown. Runs nice, but without service there will always be longterm concerns. I cannot imagine this movement being nicely lubricated for the price. The problem is that underlubrication actually doesn't manifest clearly when a watch is new. Unlike overlubrication (Seiko disease!), which results in low amplitude (under 200°) and inaccuracy.

[@jsgwatches]

I mistakenly bought the 4039-p movement holder which only holds movements up to ~25mm 😩 ended up using a case holder for this watch 😅 rumour has it that these Seagul movements leave the factory without any lubrication or regulation, they work an absolute charm once serviced though!

[@UNSCPILOT]

[@davidthomson5507]

What a great video, this channel is bound to do well! You mentioned that some of the materials were inferior to the ETA. Could you expand a little on which materials or components would be more likely to fail compared with the ETA?

[@jsgwatches]

Appreciate the support David! From what I see, I imagine some of the minute/hour/intermediate wheels would struggle to survive constant use, as they appear to be extremely soft. A scenario where someone over winds the watch, or lets the mainspring slip during powering down on a service, could destroy the teeth on any of these wheels. This however is just my opinion, I could be wrong and these things could be bullet proof! That could make for an interesting video

[@meaninthemirror]

@@jsgwatches I have one of these watches and the durability issue is also my main concern regarding these movements. It performs very precise but it had a winding problem when it has arrived where some of the wheels slip when tension on mainspring gets higher during winding. I had to replace that problematic wheel with an original UT one. I don't know which was it since watchmaker did the job using spare parts from an old pocket watch.

hm, I was thinking how hard it would be to finish this movement in a Patek Philippe style.

Hi mate, just found your channel and you are doing a great job, I was just wondering do you put the pallet fork and balance in the ipa solution to clean it? It's just that ipa can dissolve the shellac holding on the stones

I am not comfortable doing it.

Great video. I've got a couple of questions about how the ultrasonic cleaner works. I was of the impression that you had to put your watch parts in those mesh baskets and then into the cleaner. However, you had yours a container, in mesh baskets, and then into the cleaner itself. Is this to not damage delicate watch parts?

K&d winders are useful but need some care because the spring ends can snap due to the way they are build however another way is to measure the barrel and buy the bergeon to size. Bergeon nr 5 6 7 are most used in seiko's and therefore more obtainable.

[@gtcih]

Nice video. I don’t t see it as a teaching video though. Do you have any videos that focus on servicing the mainspring without speeding up the video? I started my journey modding Seiko 6309 and 7s26 divers. I then learned to service them by watching My Retro Watches here on KZbin. Those movements are also very easy to service and parts are available. I have been able to regulate these watches to a few seconds per day in the dial up positions. I have about 15 of these watches and they all keep time as well as my Omega, Rolex, Doxa, and other higher end Seikos. This has been a rewarding hobby. But I must admit, it can be very frustrating at times. I’ve been in my hands and knees more times than I care to admit!

Hi! Another awesome watch! I noticed you oiled the pallet fork jewel. Under normal circumstances that jewel does not need oil. I’ve had a couple of these clones too and amplitude has been 270-300. I have a feeling the oil in the pallet fork jewels might be sucking some energy and giving you the low amplitude.

[@jsgwatches]

This could well be a contributing factor! I also did not add any oil to the pallet fork stones which may also decrease the amplitude a bit. Thanks for the info and I’ll keep this in mind for the next one 🙏 forever learning on this horology journey!

[@Chrisamic]

@@jsgwatches Yes (and I'm just starting out on this journey myself) by my understanding you don't lubricate the pallet fork pivot jewels. It seems counter intuitive to me, but I also see the reason not to do it. Oiling the pallet stones is necessary, but the recommended oil appears to be Moebius 9415 (also just called "941" apparently). I think the reason is that it is a fine oil that tends to stay where you put it. Failing that I've seen 9010 used "with care" whatever that means. I think it's probably OK on these slower movements (18000 or 21600 bph) but maybe not so much on something that's flying (eg 36000 bph) Then there's the whole thing about using epilame/fixodrop on the escapement components (to keep the oil where you put it), but we're not really working on anything that's going to benefit from that so much (and it's really expensive even in comparison to Moebius 9010). I shall probably investigate DIY solutions to the epilame - apparently it's basically steric acid in a solvent of some kind (1:100 w/v), or the fumes from heating steric acid is a better option that is superior even to fixodrop. So much to learn... but it is a lot of fun.

ST36 does not hack, the movement originally is designed to pocket watch.

[@jsgwatches]

This ST3600 movement unfortunately doesn’t hack, I believe it was more pieced together for looks rather than function.
