Ah no! I’d say the date jumper has popped out of alignment. If you watch my newest video, you’ll see how I take of the date wheel maintaining plate and align the date jumper. Let me know how you go

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, I've got lots more coming soon

The dial washer spaces the dial off to allow the gmt wheel to turn freely. If it doesn’t have the washer things can bind up behind the dial.

It’s should come with the spacer. Just need to make sure you order one for the correct movement.

Believe it’s a 29mm dial

@ thank you!!!

For sure, they definitely have their quirks to work on, but it’s part of the fun! I’ve got a gmt version on my list too, definitely work a crack!

They sell them on Aliexpress, they call them ‘S dials’

I’ve got links to all the parts in the description of the vid!

😂 maybe google Rolex Batman.

@modsandmovements so u doing a mod build or just copy paste?

@minhtrinh467 This was my first ever build. Pretty open about it being a copy, it’s in the title of the video 😂 Next question?

Cheers for the kind words!! Trust me sometimes I do feel like giving up. Sometimes I do, but the key is to always come back the next day fresh and try again.

Links in the description

That’s awesome! I’ll find you a new link for some reason they update the listing all the time. Same place still makes it though

Hey! I’ll chuck the link below, they keep changing the link on me. They are about $25 for 20 and always really good quality too s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mMknuqL

Thanks for the tip. This was my first ever video, so have a completely new setup now, but still working on it and figuring it out. I’ve got a few other videos on the page now and more coming if you’d like to check them out too. Thanks again!

The Jubilee style bracelet? That’s my favorite style also

Such a killer movement, plan on using it again soon

@ have you tried the VS3135?

I haven’t, is that the Rolex clone?

@@modsandmovementsyes

I’ll have a look into them, they’re meant to be a pretty good movement aren’t they? Do they make many cases for them

Yea I probably would if I was to do it again TBH. Most of the other tutorials I watched did it fully assembled which seem like a bad idea too lol.

You need to make sure you get the ‘S logo’ one.

The GMT hand needs anything over a 1.6mm pusher. If you’ve got the cheap coloured pressers, it’ll be the grey tip.

I get them made from a company on Aliexpress s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdogQ5x

You could use something like the link below and just swap the bezel? a.aliexpress.com/_mtwNiz5

This one should work, it’s the same company. Not sure why they change their listings all the time s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mLWQlU4

Still one of my favorite builds and with an amazing movement if you go the Pt5000 too. It came with everything you listed too

A lot of questions, but if you still have the watch, do you know the case tube and crown sizes? Also if the case tube is screw down (maybe by looking at the tube if there are grooves inside)?

Hi, the crown is definitely screw down. I don’t have the watch with me at the moment but if you message the seller on Ali express they’ll be able to measure whatever you want

Thanks so much. Really appreciate that. I get the logos made from these guys: a.aliexpress.com/_mPcx8TD

I’m not 100% sure, as I haven’t fully pulled it apart to check. From what I’ve read on reddit (Seikomods group) there is a few issues that can occur. So setting between 9 and 3 can cause issues in the keyless works. There’s also another issue where if the gmt hand is caught on either another hand, indicies or in my case maybe the dial hole was still too small then the plastic wheel after the keyless works can break gears etc. I’ve only pulled it down to the keyless works so far and everything was fine. I think in my case it was actually something within the keyless works. I think all are fixable, but often cheaper to buy another one. I do enjoy pulling them apart though so I’ll get to it one day soon haha. Hope this helps a bit. Recommend joining that Reddit group to if you haven’t already, so much info and help on there. ✌🏻

When you’re talking about the movement, yes. The NH movements are made by TMI, which are made in such large qty and in China that there is no real market for fakes. When you’re talking about the dials and hands, they are all ‘aftermarket’ parts.

It’ll be at the top, they just don’t show them. The listing should say “S logo”. If you message the seller they’ll send you a photo of how it looks

@modsandmovements ah that makes sense, thanks! 😁

Thanks, really love how it turned out.

I have read that with the 2824 movement (so with the pt5000 as well i suspect) you should not remove and install the winding stem in the wind position but slightly pulled out in the day/date change position. If you try in the wind position it will jam and you will have to take it to pieces to get it to work again.

Legend mate cheers! It really is an amazing moment for the price. Reach out on here or insta if you’ve got any questions etc. would love to see photos of your finished watch.

Awesome mate, it’s really a great hobby if you have an interest in watches. Reach out on Insta if you got a question I can help with!

Haha. Its not so bad

This one is the same, you just need to message them to use the S logo if you want the Seiko version. Otherwise they also do custom or without logo also. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mLXOHXS

Yep, it comes with the movement. The dial washer holds down the hour wheel. Without it, the wheel can raise and disengage.

Awesome! That sounds dope, I’ve been keeping an eye out for nice OG dials lately too

@@modsandmovements I got the dial from an old, broken Seiko 5 from 1998, right when Seiko started using the new Lumibrite formula. The new watch has a lot more water resistance than what the original would have.

That’s sweet, sounds like a great combo. Would love to see a pic!

@@modsandmovements I just uploaded a video on my channel showing a few of my watches that I’ve worked on.

I’ll check it out now

As long as it fits the case 28.5mm you can put whatever you want

@@modsandmovements Thanks.. Wish to do some hobby work to swap NH34 into a 3285 movements in replica watch

Movement would need to be the same size too. (They may not be) You’d also probably need to cut off the dial feet and use dial dots to stick it to the movements

I thought the same thing, but it’s actually surprisingly easy to get the hang of. I’ve got a cheap loupe and magnifier headset and makes it so much easier. Worth giving a crack if you’re interested in it.

@@modsandmovements sorry if I didn’t check all your videos, but would you have one about someone can start doing this, as in regards all equipment and where to buy, maybe even where also to get custom logo made etc?

@Pixelsurgery I haven’t done a video on it just yet but I plan to do one soon. All my video descriptions have links to the tools and parts for every build though.

The movement is made by TMI who does all of the Seiko movements

No worries, I learnt the hard way haha

Careful…. 👆🏼
