New Build ST36 in Titanium


Recommended Posts

First time working with the 6497.  Much easier than a 3804. A little concerned about the stem sizing and reinserting.  Noticed after last night it had stopped running :(

So far today after a wind its been fine.  I do notice that it seems that during winding to give a hard stop! 

Also not to keen on the Panerai type locking device which isn't too tight when lowered might try a small shim on top of crown to lock it more securely.

Shopping list from ebay for a ST36 Titanium Panerai Homage:

  1. Parnis 34.5mm green luminous black dial Fit for eta 6497 Seagull ST36 movement          $15.00

  2. 22MM 24MM Genuine Vintage Assolutamente Calf Leather Band Strap For Panerai        $18.99

  3. Seagull ST 3600 Replace Eta 6497 Hand Winding Movement 17 Jewels Pocket W             $45.00

  4. Parnis green luminous black edge orange Hand for 44mm case Fit 6497 6498 movement    $9.10

  5. Titanium Sapphire glass 44mm parnis watch case Fit ETA 6497 6498 movement watch    $96.00

  6. Total: $184.09   heck of a lot better than 5k  ...ok I still want a Panerai

Hello, I am looking to build the same mod myself and I wonder where you bought the titanium case ? I doubt that you remember that since we are in 2023 but idk 😂

Anyway I love the st36 movement finishing, it is even more beautiful when it plays with the lights !

    • I have a barrel bridge arbor bearing that needs a slight reduction. I have never closed a barrel bridge arbor hole before and my staking set has a very limited number of doomed punches and most of them are too small (go through the hole) or too short to fit in the lower section of my inverto-style Boley & Leinen staking tool. So, I'm considering ordering a few doomed punches from CousinsUK. My question is what sizes I should order? Is there a rule of thumb relating to the hole diameter? I too worried that reducing the hole size would increase the end-shake. Especially as Kalle Slaap talks about end-shake at the end of the video at 7:43, but then he just glosses over it by saying "You can just gently push the material back in", which I don't get at all 🤔 Anyway, I feel a lot less worried now after having seen @mikepilk's excellent illustration. Thanks!
    • If you have access to a 3D printer, here is my design I did a few weeks ago:  
    • I finished my polisher yesterday, and just tried it out. I'm surprised how easy it is to get a good result - just a couple of minutes. I thought it was going to be more difficult - a nice surprise as most things in watchmaking are harder than you expect. I bought self adhesive 3M lapping film https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/film-lapping-3m-261x266x , 9, 3 and 1 micron, and stuck it to sheets of glass. The 9 micron is course enough to remove large scratches.  I'm glad I used the M6 thumb screws as the large heads allow for small adjustments.

    • I used  green blotting paper under thick glass and a few tiny pin nails on the sides of the glass to stop it from moving. I also had wood beading all around my bench to stop things rolling off.
