this has different reasons 1. the romans originally used IIII instead of IV, later IV became more usual 2. Its used to optically to balance the dial (almost all watches and clocks with roman numerals use IIII, even most sundials) 3. Its used to prevent confusion with the 6 for when the watch is not in the correct orientation (i.e. lying on the table)

@@WatchWorksMods thanks

Yeah 😅 Had to get it to under a minute

@@WatchWorksMods Nice, thanks for the links. I just bought a dial where, in the listing there was no branding but when it came there was a "SEIKO" badge on it. I was able to get it off but now I have two tiny holes to hide, lol. I'll take a look at your source.

@jwh475ezc damn, usually there is an "with S-logo" hidden in the product description, even if you can't see the logo on the pictures. If it was a mistake on the sellers end definitely try to contact them, most I interacted with stood up to their mistakes

@@WatchWorksMods I just noticed yesterday that it did say that. I'm kind of a rookie so my bad and now I know. I bought another one without that notation.

@@jwh475ezc mistakes happen, sometimes its a bit weird shopping on ali, should I probably do a video on that

Nope, last clip is at 500% speed

Nice! Did she like it?

Check 1:30, the steps are the same, just with the watch itself positioned further down the strap

the seconds hand is ticking 4 times a second, in the last scene it looks like its sweeping because the clip is running at 500% speed

@WatchWorksMods it still looks smooth. I dont see any stutter. But thanks for the reply

Thank you very much! Happy to hear my videos helped you! I'm also planning on recording a full tutorial, from what to look for when buying to how to build a watch step by step. Sadly it's hard to find time for that. 😅

Fair enough! Luckily it's also possible to use smaller crowns with this case, they just need the same screw thread.

@@WatchWorksModsI don’t know how it happened but somehow RUclips glitched and now this comment which I typed under a video from a Vostok amfibia ended up here. So I watched this short before I watched teddy baldassarre’s videos on the Vostok amfibia and the comment you read here was posted to that video… but somehow RUclips didn’t post it under teddy’s video but under yours. This comment thus wasn’t about this watch, I don’t think this watch has a to big crown

On most cases I've worked with the chapter ring is held in place by the glass pressing it onto the inside of the case. In this specific case the chapter ring is held in place between the glass and the plastic ring around the movement. So if you don't get it perfectly aligned on the first try there are 2 options. I noticed you can rotate it by poking it through the cutout of the plastic ring at 3. If you struggle with that you could also align it from the front if you remove the glass with a watch press. I hope this helps, if not feel free to comment again.

@ Thank you for the explanation!

Hey there, I bought these from CNS (formerly cheapest nato straps) really like the quality of their straps

Thank you.

I just bought one from hook and gaff. it's the nicest one i've ever had.

Ong would be better if the case was less bulky and the bezel more subtle for an overal nuanced look.

@@moshymoshno, it’s not that I find it to bulky or not good looking, it’s just that it feels like a knockoff Rolex Day-Date 128239. The shape of the bezel and case is to much lookalike of the Day-Date plus the blue watch face then it’s like a 128239. I love the Rolex Day-Date, I find it a beautiful watch but it has a lot of knockoff watches.

@@Wannabearborist I see what you mean, but what I said was my own opinion.

@ I know, I just re read my original comment and saw that it could be misinterpreted as I just don’t like it in general 👍

For me, the crown looks weird like those tacky chrome watches. I think if the case material was a bit improved or given a dull finish it could look good.

hey there! It´s this dial: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlmnuSv

It's 39mm

Nice one! I'm also still wearing it a lot.

I use most of the tools in the description, the ones I use the least are the timegrapher (because I switch watches every day I don't need them that accurate) and the demagnetiser, which is basically just for magnetised watches. Most I actually use the friction ball and the hand presser, theoretically you don't need most of these tools, many are just quality of life improvements. If you want to repair or mod a watch you might want the hand lifter.

That's very nice! Have fun building them!

Dude no way, I just did the same thing with my brother, as I'm leaving too

Thank you! Most dials I use are 28.5mm

Hey there, the link is in the description

Thank you! I really love to wear it

Hey there! Check the links the description, I fixed the ones that weren´t working. Have fun building! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

It's an NH36, had no NH35 laying around back then. But obviously can't use the day complication on this one

Back then I paid around 85€ including VAT (to Germany), but you might be able to get some parts cheaper right now or in a sale.

The case I used is 39mm

Thank you! Yeah, you can basically use every metal bracelet with straight end links which are 20mm wide

@@WatchWorksMods thanks

The "inspiration" is kinda obvious 😅

Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! I wish you lots of fun with modding your watches.

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I'm actually working on a step by step guide. So if you are interested stick around.

thank you! ❤️

Hallo there! I used the ring just before closing the case. I suspect this ring ensures that the movement stays flush with the dial, after closing the case. Most cases don't come with these rings, it's mostly just cases that kinda look like date just and submariner.

It's a movement retention ring it helps movement bounce instead of using casing clamps

Hey there! This is the case that I used for that build: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdZEtbf (affiliate link) Have fun building your watch!

Thanks for your input! After wearing it on and off for a few weeks now, I'd say it's probably my favourite out of the bunch.

With the nh35, usually you have to trim the stem, because it gets sent with the movement.

You are welcome ❤️

Thank you!

hey, I bought it from the DS-Watch Mod store on aliexpress, but they don´t seem to sell this particular dial right now, maybe it´ll come back in stock

Hey man, just go for it! It´s really calming, you´ll learn new stuff and you can build watches to your liking

Hey, look for seagull brand calibers, or maybe seiko, myiota.. there is a lot of brands you can get calibers for cheap, even new, some are not so complex so good to learn, if you want it to be more simple try it on pocket watch size calibers first

thank you

Thank you 👍⌚

Hey there! Wow, that´s an impressive collection! I´d really recommend you to try modding or building your own. Thanks for your feedback, I´ll include links in the future.
