    • I am having some trouble learning how your website works.  I couldn't get any text in with the pictures.  Some of the pictures look a little brown, rusty.  Actually they are all bright steel.  The color is some artifact I didn't have time to figure out the cause.  I hadn't used my camera for several years so the battery was down.  I may have lost some settings.
    • This is a picture of the watch with the back removed. The seal ring is in place as I think it may go.This picture shows the seal ring removed.This is a blowup with seal ring removed.This is one side of the seal ring.This is the other side.
    • The nut is more of a fine tuning alignment that you don't quite get with the front to back movement of the anvil. When tightening the anvil it can want to pull itself central to the tapered head pin in the middle, though you do get a little front to back play, just not always enough if the frame isn't perfectly in lline or has had a knock. Not sure about the stake friction adjustment I haven't come across that before.
    • 40 pounds sounds like too much I got one last week for $30 shipped from AliExpress. Keep us updated with the result.  I also just started and have 3 ST36, one I broke and two I am practicing with.  For one of those two I have ordered a wristwatch case+dial and hands but I though it would be nice to use the other one as a pocket watch but I found another thread here saying it may be difficult to fix it in the case due to the lack of tabs for it.  However on the pictures (I am not at home close to the movement) I see some holes where the screws holding the movement in your case seem to be.  
    • John I have seen the information of the internet regarding Arnex https://theoldtimey.com/arnex-pocket-watch/#Arnex Watch Value https://adelstein-workshop.com/arnex-watches/ Very interesting. oldttimey estimates a value of £75, if everything is original.  Can't find an original movement as a donor. Silly prices wanted for a full donor watch. I can get an st3600 6497 for £40. Owner is more concerned wit the 'look'.  What I am pleased about is that by learning from others, I have been able to rebuild to the point where I was able to understand why it would not work. I know that I am not very good with describing my work. But achieving the outcome has been good for my ego. Know what the problems were. Know my limitations. Chuffed.
