relaxman Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Just got my 005 back from Katt with it's newly installed highbeat Seagull ST-36 . What a nice improvement. Runs great, sounds great and winds smooth as silk. No more ticking like a wall clock . He also fixed the wobbly crown guard lever.. As a gen Panerai owner I'm still impressed with the quilaty of this watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxman Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 It is indeed a great strap! It's made by Kain Heritage . Mine is the veteran sub. Awesome service . They even come with a strap and watch travel case. Planning on ordering the black one next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trombone Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 thanks for the information. i have to get me one for my 005K and maybe it would suit my incoming 026 good too. what do you think? is it available with black stitching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATEspo Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Where can I find a Seagull ST-36 movement? I have been dying to swap this movement out of my 318 because of how noisy it is. What other branded or sterile movements can be used that are less noisy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxman Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Trombone check out their website kainheritage. They do have black stitch which would look amazing on the 026 or 005!! Atespo . I purchased mine on eBay. I think it was 42.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ongck77 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Noobs question. How do we know it is from Seagull and not from other Chinese clone? any Seagull's stamping on the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I had the same plan a while back and I bought 4 of those ages ago..... and never did anything with them..... I have never actually had a watch with one in them always ended up going Swiss with the better reps...frankens etc Maybe it time to run one up into a watch... see for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefe Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Are there any tutorials on swapping the 005 movement? I'm planning to do this myself - got the highbeat Seagull too. Sead on RG just posted that he's had a hell of a time with these movement swaps... has me a bit nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermanx Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I just swapped the movement on my 219, it was a member purchase and arrived broken (center wheel/cannon pin). It really wasn't that bad but the 219 had the dial feet ground off and no dial dots, can only assume thats what broke the cw. Hands ended up working fine even though I bought a 111 set based on seeds posts. Used dial dots to secure the dial and its working great.
