Diy Watch case, looking for a Dial for a Seagull st1901 movement


Recommended Posts

Hello Fellow Watchmakers,

I havent been on here for a while now, but every time I have a Problem with one of my watches or Watch Projects I come here and get good answers. Thanks for that.

My current project is making a watch case and chronograph pusher buttons myself. I am using a Seagull st1901 Movement and I am trying to find a brightly colored Dial (31,5-32mm) that fits this movement. I thought I could use a dial for an Valjoux movement but the subdial holes dont quite line up. I can find a lot of watches that use this movement and have dials I like, but I cant find the dials themselve. Only black ones which I dont like.

Does anyone know where I could get a white-ish brightly colored watch dial with 31,5-32mm diameter that fits the Seagull st1901 movement.

I kinda need one soon because this is going to be a gift for a family member and I have to get this watch done.

I added a lot of pictures of the project and one of the dials I like.

I would be very thankfull if anyone can help me find a dial.

Thanks in advance.

There ia no special secret place for dials or any other part. One can get easily only dials made for very popular mov.ts. Which I am afraid your is not. You can't even count on getting a spare from a  Chinese watch, as they don't sell spares. And a new ST19 watch is a bit expensive just to get the dial. Same for a vintage Venus chrono watch, i don't think they are cheap either. 

Likely you need to start considering how you can mame your own brass dial, solder feet and apply a printed decal.

Nice job ! I bought the same movement to pick a part and put together for practice but I tought it would be nice if I could use it as a watch too. I found decent collection of dials and hands on Ebay and since I didn't make my own case I bought that too. It was inspired by Rolex Daytona old style. I think I bought it from a small dealer in Latvia.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
    • Hold the crown when in winding position, move the click away from the crown wheel, and then while holding the crown let it slowly unwind. I recollect that you must remove the automatic device bridge first, but maybe I'm wrong. You can first try without removing the automatic device bridge.
