Thanks for the video and the links. I just finished mine! Only disappointing thing was the second hand color was dark blue but that’s not a big deal as I can change it later on and I stupidly cut the stem too short but that is what learning is for. Thanks again!
Ive changed the link for the hands as I've seen a few people say the same thing! Yeah, thats a good learning curve, thats why I always keep spare stems :)
Beauty, almost perfect. The two different blues on the front would drive me bananas, id have to find a replacement seconds hand to match the blue of the dial text.
@@jbwatchmodsif you find any better matching second hands. Please share the link. Saw someone in seikomods subreddit build also an yachtmaster and he had quite matching seconds hand with the blue yachtmaster logo
Thanks for the links. The one of the dial is very usefull to choose the correct color. There are many gray on ali and i was very confused. Thanks to you now i m sure on the final aspect. Now you have a new follower from Italy!! And good luck for your channel😊
Great watch mod man! Im totally new in this, and watch alot of videos! Already got the tools but Its time to order some Watch parts and start. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Looking to do the build myself. The gray dial in the link looks a lot lighter than the one you showed in your video can you confirm that it is the same dial pls.
This Yachmaster is fantastic, I would like you to make a 40mm Datejust with a Jubilee strap but the Jubilee pagani design version of the GMT, the kind that look more like Rolex than the common Jubilee from Aliexpress. Greetings from Chile friend 🇨🇱, great job
The dial you have linked in the description doesn't seem to have the sunburst effect on the picture, but I understand that they will send it with the logo. Also, it doesn't seem to have the blue yachtmaster etched onto the dial? Im planning on buying this as my first custom, so insight would be great. Love the vids, you've earned yourself a sub!
Would you do this work for sale? Like making the mods for others who want special custom watches but doesn’t have the skill or tools, or time to learn themself? - let’s say asking for a friend
Wow that looks great, you make this look so easy! I've been wanting to make a build of my own for a while now. I really want to make a pelegos blue mod but I can't seem to find a blue dial to match the bezel 😢
I built a watch nearly identical to yours except the dial was darker gray in color and I didn’t use a blue colored seconds hand. I purchased my dial from a different seller though. Yours looks amazing and I may have to build one like it😊 I checked the link you provided for the dial. I’ve ordered from that seller, in the past, on AliX and will never give them money again. I ordered four dial/hand combinations and two of the dials arrived damaged. They were damaged due to improper packaging so I sent photos to the seller. They were shipped together in the same container with only a thin layer of tissue paper between them. The dials rubbed together during transit and arrived with scratch marks visible to the naked eye and, were beyond repair. They argued with me and said I damaged them during installation although I took the pics right after removing them from the packaging and examined them. I argued back and forth with them for about two weeks and got AliX involved also. They were no help either so I wrote off the dials and refuse to purchase from them again. If any of you watching this video wants to purchase a dial from the seller he provided a link to, caveat emptor. I hope you have better luck than I did.
That sucks to hear that they weren't willing to help you out! Ive purchased 9-10 dials from this seller and have had good luck so far. But it can definitely be hit and miss using Ali. Appreciate the word of warning though!
Buy them anyway, the sellers delete some parts so that the sites don't get deleted, but if you choose one of those that are deleted you will get the dial with all the drawings at your house, don't worry😊
Wanted to start to day building this watch with the partlist in description, but then saw that my seconds hand is not like this light tiffany blue color. But more like a dark blue. I see in the reviews of the product people received the same... Can you please check what hands link you used as its more close to original yachmaster color..
The dial and handset originally linked were the ones I used. They must have since changed the hands as ive seen a few comments like this. I've updated the link for the handset to another supplier which I use and know to be good. Thanks for letting me know and good luck with your build!
@@jbwatchmods Ah thanks for an updated link. Will def check that one too. The dark blue color doesn't fit the rest of the color scheme i.m.o. The tiffany blue color is just the fresh accent that makes this a beautifull watch. Hope to receive new watch hands soon ;)!
I bought all the stuff from your links, but I didn't get the sky blue second hand ... I got a dark blue (maybe a blued steel?) hand with the white dot on the long side and a small blue dot on the short side. Kind of defeats the Yacht Master look ...
I've noticed a few people saying the same thing about the second hand. I've updated the link for the hands to another supplier I use and know to be good
Is this one really 13,5mm thick? Does it feel chunky or high? Im thinking about ordering this one from your website but 13,5 seems so thick compared to the original 11,5 by rolex :) Awesome looking watch anyway!
Yeah thats the correct thickness, for me it doesn't feel to chunky or high at all, comparable to a seiko 5 in thickness. Im guessing the extra thickness is due to the size of the movements
Stupid question, if on ali they only show the sterile dial will it still be shipped with the seiko branding? They mention something about it having a s logo so im assuming that they would?
Could be the bezel rotate direction. As its normally one way. But on a yacht master is bidirectionail (so both ways to rotate to). Maybe they mean that!? I got The case in this video and linked in the description, and its only 1 way rotating. But that's fine for me but isn't like the real yachtmaster model.
hi jb! I just finished assembling a watch like yours!! I'm quite satisfied and I have to thank your tutorial!! I must have spent at least 30 minutes just to insert the second hand... everything is really so small!!🤣 Anyway, could you resolve two doubts I have about this mod?
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us, you are very kind to reply!!😊 the first question is: the crown in my watch does not screw down completely, and is difficult to get close to the thread. Maybe it still too long? the second is: watching your video the movement made a click inside the case. mine instead rotated freely. I had to use a very precarious plastic ring (arrived with the case) to put between the diameter of the movement and the case walls, but I didn't see you do it. Is It normal?@@jbwatchmods
@@amedeofazzio4792 No problem :) 1 - It definitely sounds like the stem is still a little too long. 2 - It depends on the case your using, some cases will require the use of a spacer and some do not (regardless of the style of case) But yes, it is normal to use a spacer
JB you are one of the few content creators who responds to almost everyone in the comments of their videos! I'm taking this opportunity to ask questions now because when your channel gets more followed you probably won't be able to answer even if you want to answer! Obviously this is something I hope happens, you deserve it Really thanks again!! @@jbwatchmods
Hey awesome video and great looking watch. Where do you order all of your parts? I just started watchmaking and knowing where to buy dials, crystals, hands, movements etc would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
Imagine having collections of watches built by yourself.... fantastic!!!
I have... wear nd sell them. Love this
Just "built" my first watch! Thank you so much for the video!
Well done mate! No problem at all🙂
And it looks insanely beautiful
Thanks!
Thank you for this i have ordered all the parts ... now just waiting to build my first watch...wish me luck 😀
Awesome, good luck with your build!
Beautiful build. Congrats.
Thank you!
This looks stunning.
Cheers!
It's a beautiful watch all of its own - no fake or 'homage' here - Seiko would be proud to have made it.
I like the slim case Yachtmaster and the Ti version a lot!
Great build JB!
Thanks! Yeah, the Titanium would be really nice!
That looks gorgeous. I'm waiting on my parts for a NH34 gmt build. Going to be my first build. This looks like a beaut that I'd like to build as well
Thanks and good luck with your build! This is definitely a good one to have in the collection
Keep making these videos! I really enjoy them. Already bought some parts to build my own watch beacause of you! 😁
Great job! Have a nice day! 🤩

Thankyou! Ill keep that in mind for future builds :)
does the hands come with the dial, and is there a rubber strap you can switch the bracelet out with?
hi jb! I have a question for you. Have you ever put chapter rings in your watches? If so, could you make a video of you using them one day? Thank you
Yeah sure do! Ill be posting a build like this within the coming weeks :)
You mentioned to push the pin to remove the crown stem. I have always been pushing it down. Am I doing this wrong

@@richards-garage Awesome, good luck with it. If you post it on insta be sure to tag me. Id love to see the finished product!
6:30 just some advice to avoid damming the hands it’s recommended you balance all of them on then press not individually
Awesome job... Just had a look and the dial and hands aren't available... Any links for the same as that Seiko logo looks great
Thanks man! I just checked and looks like they're available to me?
What do you have to set the date at before you put on the hands on at 12'oclock? Thank you
It doesn't matter what date, just as long as the date changes, then set the hands to 12
Can you put together a video of all your collection. From least favorite to favorite.
Yeah sure, ill add it to the list!
That's astonishing! One question, does the bezel rotate/move counterclockwise? thanks
Thanks! Yeah, its a uni-directional bezel and rotates counterclockwise :)
Wow that looks great, you make this look so easy! I've been wanting to make a build of my own for a while now.
I really want to make a pelegos blue mod but I can't seem to find a blue dial to match the bezel 😢
Thanks, it's just a lot of practise! Yeah, sometimes it can take awhile to find the perfect parts!
Is this water proof? Thanks for the video I think I will build this soon🥳
Yeah, the case is rated to 200m water resistance

I cannot find your dial on Ali Express now. Any ideas?
All parts linked in the description :)
Im confused, the dials on the website dont say seiko and yachtmaster?
Buy them anyway, the sellers delete some parts so that the sites don't get deleted, but if you choose one of those that are deleted you will get the dial with all the drawings at your house, don't worry😊
You did a great job, you can make a Seiko Nautilus. Thanks
Thanks! Yeah, its on the to do list :)

I’d love to make one with a white MOP dial and red seconds hand❤
That would be a stunning combo!
The link you provided for the dial does not read Yacht Master
It does, it cannot be shown for legal reasons

Nice, Vk63 build when?
Thanks! Should be coming in the next few weeks
Amazing work how much does it weigh about
Thanks, its around 150grams
How accurate is that movement?
-20 to +40 seconds per day are the factory specs
Do the crowns have gaskets in them>?
Yep
Does this case have the YM bidirectional bezel or is it unidirectional like most watches?
This one is unidirectional
I followed the link for the dial but does not appear to have the same content as your shows, is there a specific way to get that exact content?
That is the exact dial I ordered. If it says "S logo" or "with logo" it should come with the seiko logo on the dial
Is this one really 13,5mm thick? Does it feel chunky or high? Im thinking about ordering this one from your website but 13,5 seems so thick compared to the original 11,5 by rolex :) Awesome looking watch anyway!
Yeah thats the correct thickness, for me it doesn't feel to chunky or high at all, comparable to a seiko 5 in thickness. Im guessing the extra thickness is due to the size of the movements
How did you get the Seiko logo on the dial? Did it come with it?
Correct, link in description to parts used
The SEIKO logo-you had made? Availability? Ali's face don't come with any logos...Thanks
If it says "s dial" or "with logo" on Ali, it will have the seiko logo
can i just use blu tack instead of rodico ?
Im sure blu tack would work, not sure if it would clean things as well and rodico but it'd do the job if you can get rodico
Nice video🥰🥰🥰
Thank you :)
really need that dial link. i found it with "s logo" but not seeing the yachmaster with the s logo.
aaaaand i just found it lol.
The exact dial I used is linked in the description!
@@jbwatchmods wow, my eyes jumped right over top of it and landed on the tools section 🤦🏻♂️. Thank you for the reply!
do you have any plans to make a mod similar to omega seamaster?
Ill add it to my list :)
Does the dial come with the seiko logo or not? the picture on aliexpress is no logo but your dial got the logo ?
It does come with the logo, the dial linked is the one I purchased
Stupid question, if on ali they only show the sterile dial will it still be shipped with the seiko branding? They mention something about it having a s logo so im assuming that they would?
If it says something like "s dial" or "with logo" that usually means itll have the seiko logo
Nice video ! Do you always have to use 28.5 dials? regardless of the case size? Will 28.5 dial be perfect for both 36mm watch and ig 40mm?
It really depends on the case your using, but most of the date just style cases will use the same 28.5mm dial regardless of it being 36 or 40mm
Can u change the size of the link and does it slide in to make it smaller ?
Yes, you can remove links from the bracelet and there is micro adjustment within the clasp🙂
Why is the dial movement on aliexpress without seiko logo?
They can't show it on aliexpress for legal reasons
When choosing my case some of them asked me if I wanted it one way or two way. What does that mean ?????😊
I have no idea to be honest, sorry!
Could be the bezel rotate direction. As its normally one way. But on a yacht master is bidirectionail (so both ways to rotate to). Maybe they mean that!?
