Do you want to know how accurate the Seagull ST36 is? Watch the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJuygGCtoNmZhrc

I love this watch movement. I have a few of them because I was disecting them and destroying a few of them. I destroyed 2 or 3 of them before I finally got one taken apart, lubricated and put back together. I even bought an ETA 6497 and played with that for awhile. Then I started casing them up and actually wearing them. That's where I got bored with them. They are too big to be used as a wrist watch movement for me. They really are pocket watch movements. Big enough for a klutz like me to take apart and put back together. I highly recommend the ST36 to start out with. Great movements.

They fit to 42mm case, I am thinking building a watch for myself with this movement but it's borderline too big. Do you know any thin and cheap movements?

I use 47mm diameter Invicta watch.

I'll buy your destroyed movements.

Great to learn on but it’s annoying there’s no parts. I lost the canon pinion and a casing clamp so can’t case it now . Plus I forgot the ratchet wheel screw is reverse and snapped the screw. But mistakes are lessons 😊.

Became interested in Chinese watch movement back in 2001 when my son bought a number of watches in Afghanistan as a gift for me. Still have them with a few Rolex rip-offs and all working as good as new . The Chinese just worked harder to get it right back then . A bunch of old Russian stuff that was half junk and half working pocket watches . I was impressed. The going price was 3 to 15 dollars American . My son was a combat photographer and had a lot of civilian cross business activities. I have noticed the different positions of balance wheel to placement of winding stim in relationships to watch brands and China rip-offs.

As a movement to start learning watchmaking it is great. Big, simple and beautiful (as opposed to other cheap movements). Also mine came lubricated

I read that Seagull used to have some issues with winding mechanism becoming excessively loose. At first it was to be caused by the loose tolerances regarding crown wheel, secured by 2 screws back then (this has been fixed and now there's 1 big screw). Then I heard that other parts get loose within the winding mechanism. Have they fixed it all? I'm thinking about buying ST3600 watch in a few months and I don't want to get negatively surprised after 2-3 years of use.

56 hours of power reserve, most of them go as high as 57-58 hours, NOT 36 as stated in the video. 46 for Unitas 649x, 50-51 for ETA 649x-1 and 54-57 for chinese clones.

I'm amused that one little bottle of moebius costs more than a spare movement. Looking forward to playing with one! Nice review.

will it detach to prevent overwinding?, how do i know it is fully wound?

Is there a way to get in touch with you about my ST36? I am learning how to disassemble it, and on mine there is an extra part that appears to be above the balance wheel. I don't know whether to remove it first. I'd like to send a photo. Thanks.
