    Is it the picture or is the dial printed kind of fuzzy? Is the dial ceramic or metal? I once had a dfreemont that looked like that, but with blued hands and a power reserve.

    neither it's actually plastic most of the 3602 dials I have come across are, does not matter the style here it is when it was a pocket watch could not find the shot of this one but here is the same model I strip down for the movement as the dial was marked and another pic of it ...

    I get it. It is a pretty versatile movement. Sort of like the Swiss Unitas movement used in the manual wind Glycine Incursors.

    it is used a lot in self builds as it is along the lines of a 6497/98 well the dial thickness is different so you can swap dials from a 64 to a 36 but not the other way .. can't remember the name but it's based on a early movement that is used in early rolex think is it Cortebert .

    edit...... will do a thread on the 36 pocket watch movement edit edit ...**** Whats the difference between the 3601/3602/3603 ****

    I prefer it over the Chinese 6497/6498 as they tend to be better looking movement but they have a issue with the winding cog falling out when working on it unless you remember to pull the stem to setting before removing it .. there upside is lots of dials and hand and case for them out there where as ..

    with the 3602/03 they are not as fancy to look at plate wise but are a lot more sturdy and can take rough treatment one sat in my bits box as broken for months before I got round to checking it was just in with other parts so not protected as was going to use for parts ..found the problem when I was about to strip the barrel out, the cog had become loose so tighten that and it started working lovely so yes a lot better movement to handle and use ..the only down size is dials and hands as the case used for the 64 fit these too..

    so it's just getting your hands on the dial and hands but in saying this over the last year it seem's to be a lot easier as they are now producing what I like to call fantasy dials and hands to be used ...



    so you have a choice go vintage and use old dial and hands ..there a few dial so a lot of choice their but the hands was always a very limited choice ...

    now the movement has shot up last year maybe the year before you could get job lot's of pocket watches for no money bought one that was £25 all in and had five of them ..

    now say working one would cost that and more .. so sourcing movements has become expensive
