Hi all - just looking to confirm my thoughts here. It seems the version of the seagull st3621 I have purchased does not have a ‘long’ regulator arm, just short studs.

Can I please confirm that the regulator I have circled is, in fact, the time regulator?

As ifibrin has said this is the beat adjuster of the movement.  When they are shorter than the timing adjuster ie. The stud inside the diameter of the regulator pins then that would be an overcoil hs also know as Brequet developed by Abraham Brequet. Its a more accurate hs than the flat, less restricted in its movements. This is not the case here. Some studs are also fixed making beat adjustment much more difficult over an adjustable one. This fixed variation is common on older vintage watches. You have both  timing and beat adjustable arms here.

Thanks all. I saw another photo from a different movement that confused me. I cannot find this version of the ST3621 anywhere else than where I bought it (ebay) to save my life!

I thought I was buying the same one Mark used in one of his videos on making a watch from internet parts, but I see though it has similar finishing, there is a different bridge layout.

You will still get use from it, as a beginner any movement you will learn from. Enjoy🙂

there is a problem and watch repair which is variations lots and lots of variations. For instance somebody was confused recently over a balance staff and there's 11 staffs for their particular watch. So your watch should be similar to what Mark has but it will probably be a variation because the Chinese like to have even more variations. The Swiss variations will happen because of an evolution the watch will upgrade over time. The Chinese just like to have lots of variations

one of the YouTube channels I watch in 3-D printers was getting upset over this because if he reviewed a printer and said it was good the printer we bought would probably be different. Even if the company itself tries really hard to make an identical product often times in the case of not watches components from other sources will be modified and changed

but you still have a watch the watch he can practice with it might not look like the one Marquez but it should be similar enough it should have all the same basic characteristics and you can have fun learning with it.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      @JohnR725 has pointed out many times that the Swiss don't care about amplitude, the timekeeping is the most important.  Give yourself a  pat on the back, great beat error and timekeeping, nothing to be disappointed about.

      I'm bothered but I agree he's a busy man and I don't want to bother him.  In the meantime, we really do need to have other ways of contacting each other

      Second hand watch market.

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      This is as complicated as epilame, too many unknowns. The life expectancy in the UK is circa 80, so most people from 1944 or earlier are dead.  Assume they had children at circa 20, they died in 2004. Their children started selling 1944 watches in 2004, so pre-1944 watches must be getting more rare.   It doesn't work though because as you stated some were sold as tat, but since watch prices have increased people have decided to sell when they may not of done in the past.

      Questions about my Bravingtons Renown Mantel Clock

      By Michael20 · Posted

      I was wondering whether anyone could assist with some questions I have about my latest acquisition, which is a two train ‘Bravingtons Renown’ mantel clock - Pics attached I have done some reading about Bravingtons and believe they sourced movements from various suppliers, so I wondered whether anyone recognises this one. I have stripped and cleaned the movement and the clock is now running well, but there are a couple of dodgy brass springs that I would like to replace. I haven’t found anything suitable searching the internet so I wondered does anyone know of a supplier that might help. Last question is about the veneer on the case, it is generally in reasonable condition but there are a couple of patches on the top where the veneer has lifted. So far, I have tried to reactivate the existing adhesive by heating from below and above with a hair drier, then clamping for a day or two. It has improved slightly but the bulge is still visible. I’d be grateful for any advice if anyone has dealt with this sort of repair before.
