From dismantling and reassembling the Seagull ST3600 movement to assembling, oiling, and regulating it to industry standards, you’ve achieved something to be proud of.No previous experience was needed—just curiosity and a steady hand—and you all proved how much can be learned in a short time.Our courses are extremely popular, so early booking is highly recommended.
