Hello people
I have now gone through Mark's video course and can assemble the 6497 movement on my own. I am now looking for an old clock where I can develop further. I have found an advertisement with an automatic watch. Unfortunately I tried to search through pictures on the net. But I have not found any information. Does anyone know this clock? Is it suitable for practicing? If not, which vintage watch is suitable to start with automatic revisions? Thanks

It‘s a Chinese movement and based on the Seagull ST16 most likely.

Brand new Chinese movements are a reasonable start due to the very low investment. Sometimes the material quality is below average. I had screw heads breaking off during disassambly. So you should purchase one more movement for spare parts.

See Cousins UK (or Ali Express) for a varity of cheap Chinese movements with several complications.
