I appreciate the help but I don't see how it looks like that. It's a sun/moon with a 12hr hand @ 6, a 24hr at 3 and the open heart at 9... If that helps. I checked allwatchparts.com and I didn't see it there. At least not in the Chinese movements section. Also now that I mention Chinese movements I had a question about how to find dial for them. I want to get one with day, date, month and 24hr/ sun-n-moon but I have no idea. I tried just searching dials for the particular movement or just dials for Chinese watches but the closest I got was Alibaba where this company in China will custom make dials for you but work a min. purchase quantity of like 1000 which is obviously way too many... Though the prospect of making my own watch company intrigues me I'm not in a position at the moment to do so. Anyway I digress... Again. I shall move this if desired since it is a bit off topic.

Yes you're right; its not an ST16. It looks to be a variant of Japanese movement. The ony ones that have open heart at 9 are these...

Yes, I also found an example

But I just realized it is a slide rule bezel. Now this thing has just blown my mind once I saw a video about it from Long Island Watch Co. Now I'm simply amazed and this has taken a special place in my heart. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything. Though it's starting to run slow now about 2-4 mins a day. I need to service and lube it but I'm waiting to acquire all the necessary tools. 

Now I want to build a watch with this but I feel it will be difficult as finding a dial and case will probably be near impossible especially with a Chinese movement.

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere? It would be an absolute shame if the plug was pulled without warning, i would like to think Mark wouldn't do that to us. And like i said in my first post i talk about things other folk might be affraid to.  So lets not skirt around anything. It might be nice to have a place where we can all drop our emails just in case so we always have that contact. Can you make that happen  Old Hippy ?  i kind of think of you as the pops of the forum 🙂

      Hopefully if the issue is running costs, Mark would let us know and suggest ways of raising finance. If it's the other issue, which we are skirting around, sites can be passed onto others.   PS because I know you're all interested, I  had a bacon and mushroom sandwich for breakfast.  Hehe.

      Hi guys, the question is what is a forum, a place for discussion and passing on information, idle chat and a bit of fun and I for one are the richer for it. When in Hospital last year with the Covid being force fed oxygen and feeling total sh1t and close to the pearly gates a daily look on the forum to see what was going down helped to keep me focused on the job in hand took my mind off the problem for a short while but it was a lifeline for sure. We chat to friends for that is what they become around the world read their posts help where we can post information where we can.  I like @Neverenoughwatches some times think of members past and wonder if they are still at the watches or given up, some drop in for advise and drop out again never to be heard of again. The forum reminds me of Yorkshire hospitality, The door is always open and the kettle on the stove. Long may it continue.   My two bobs worth.
