- My 2nd attempt at a mod build and true to form it didn't go to plan.
It's all a learning process though, so hopefully my mistakes can help others on their journeys into modding.
Thanks for watching- let me know in the comments what you want to see next.

I must be crazy. The challenge of the second hand is a part I really enjoy. I just built a GMT diver today. I had to modify the dial hole to fit. Huge satisfaction today!
I must say, I have definitely evolved with the seconds hand install.
Looks so much better with the chrome hands. Good choice to swap them over! Nice build
2 different holes per color-coded tool: 0.50mm & 1.00mm (White & Black), 1.50mm & 2.00mm (Grey & Red), Flat & 0.80mm (Brass & Blue). If in doubt go for larger size I generally use red for all
Amazing info!! Thank for the heads up. Slowly getting the hang of the sizing with my newer builds. Appreciate the feedback 👌🏼
Hey whats dimensions of the watch face and dial
I got the 40mm case, which fits with a 28.5mm dial. The links for everything I used are in the description. Of the vid if you wanted to have a look. ✌🏻
What were your thoughts on the quality of the case and bracket for the Batman build?
The case and bracelet I got were actually really good quality. My only real complaint is that the edges are probably a little bit sharp. The bracelet itself is much better quality than say a Seiko or Orient bracelet. Does jingle or take hairs etc. AliX can be pretty hit and miss with QC but everything so far has been great.
Are you looking to do the same build or similar?

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, thinking of doing a build, but have been a little apprehensive of buying sight unseen, and the thought of fitment issues from poor quality parts etc.
The alternative is to purchase from known sources, and pay 3 times the price.
But i think you've convinced me to take a punt.
From my research on Reddit, a lot of those ‘quality’ places just come out of the same kind of factories. They just do better QC. But I’ve also seen people get average quality stuff from some of the expensive stores too. The AliX stores are pretty good with trying to fix their issues too. They want the good reviews for the most part. Especially if you stick to the good well known stores. The Seiko mods reddit is great for info too.
@@modsandmovements 100% Anyway i've ordered that case. Lets see how I go
@markharcourt2214 awesome mate- good luck with the build! You doing a GMT?
