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 !

    • Hello from the Mid-Atlantic United States. I've been in the hobby for a few months and have concluded that I will be staying in it for a while. I've started to get some proper tools and I am looking forward to developing some skills. My current goal is to get comfortable enough to service / repair some watches I've inherited from family members.  My current project is a Mentor pendent watch with a BF866 movement that belonged to my great aunt.
    • Success! The watch is working, albeit not perfectly. I need to install a new mainspring. It only runs about 16 hours. Still, it's my first cleaning and rebuild. I bought it from the original owner's son on eBay! The other one was bought at a flea market. I needed both to complete the project. The model with a seconds hand had soldered watch band pins and I couldn't drill tiny holes so I used the flea market Waldan, which was nearly a perfect match. I also replated the case with nickel, but the result was subpar. It's never as easy as it looks.
    • Thanks guys. It's a Seawolf 10ATM pre spring bezel. The case knife stressed me a bit, but eventually got it off and cleaned - nearly seventy years of grime.  Thanks.  Cheers John
    • Exactly. This is a pic of the hairspring I'm working on. My horizontal v vertical rates are all over the place. There is no discernible terminal curve. My problem is that the outer coil is (possibly) hitting the regulator pin. It's hard to tell but it looks to be getting very close. Also getting close to the stud, which could be @VWatchie's problem. You can see that I need to adjust the inner coil to centre the collet. That will hopefully solve the problem. But then I'll take the spring off and attach it to the cock to see how it looks.   I don't know if it's causing your problem @VWatchie, but I would say your inner coil looks like this
