Do you want to know how accurate the Seagull ST36 is? Watch the video here: ua-cam.com/video/ZjOO-wktfPU/v-deo.html

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

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 😊.

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?

[@lpblade7]

Awesome video man, can't wait for more!

[@readrepairs]

Beautifully presented. Thank you.

[@SillyVintageWatches]

[@monte4150]

[@SillyVintageWatches]

Glad I could help!

Great video!

[@benoitcerrina]

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

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

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.

[@spuppy852]

Was the one you bought here oiled?

[@rubinsteinway]

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.

[@thebeard9879]

I've ordered this movement to do my first watch build. How can I tell if it's been lubricated or not?

[@polipentamorfi4152]

Hi my friend,many microbrands use this movement and they sell them about 250 euro,is ok or not.. thanks

[@lucasartore8540]

I ordered one and it has a power reserve of 9 hours what is the cause of this?

[@goodlifebdg]

How to take crown out ? No button to pin

[@benoitcerrina]

You have to unscrew the setting lever screw from the other side by about two turns. Do half turn by half turns till the crown comes out

[@goodlifebdg]

@@benoitcerrina thanks !

[@danwilson7581]

Are you pronouncing Unitas correctly? There was a famous American quarterback and it was pronounced differently
