Damn ! it looks amazing on that green perlon strap. The polishing really gives the watch a more serious/classy feel. Thanks for the always amazing ideas!
Great video! Between the polishing, the upgraded AR coated crystal, and that oversized leather strap, this is the best I could have ever had hoped an SNK803 could be, or look!
cool, I hope you do. I got my snk809 two weeks ago and it is perfect! will send pics when I change the strap. thinking of getting one of the "louder" seikos; intrigued by the snkn02.
Well done and an intriguing combination of green and cream! I’ve had my eye on this watch and you’ve inspired me to brave a crystal swap if I do. Keep up the awesomeness!
You should really test the water resistance with the watch case WITHOUT the movement inside of it. Makes seeing water easier, as well as not risking your entire watch
Sweet vid - very well made outro showcasing your work. Nice prep and thorough explanations. Thanks! Subbed. (And gratz on the break from alcohol. Take care of that body!)
Hey Kurt. Now that you seem to be pretty proficient at swapping crystals, do you fancy fitting a domed crystal to your SARB033? I'd love to see how that would look.
What considerations did you take into account to choose the green AR coating over the blue, purple, or flame? Also a bit of advice. I have the Seiko SNZG15K1 in black and was looking at a crystal replacement. What color of AR coating would you think? I am probably going to polish the case up also to kind of make it more of a dress watch that I will wear to work everyday. Thanks to any who comment. I am trying to make it look a bit like a SARG009 without the price tag and keep the field look to it a bit.
Since you do lots of videos about crystals, can you help review and show the difference between crystaltime's double dome and single dome crystals? And if you do, dont forget about the side shots to see the height/bulge difference. Thanks :)
I am wanting to change my crystal on my orient Bambino it has a very large done one on it now and is horrible to look at. Any advise on type or when I can purchase a replacement...thanks and great job on the seiko!
There are a few avenues that you could go. If you just want a replacement then I would contact the nearest orient distributor to see if you can get a replacement crystal: www.orient-watch.com/support/distributors/. Alternatively, you would need to measure the crystal's diameter and thickness exactly then go searching for a replacement. An aftermarket crystal, if any, will most likely not look the same. The bambino has a pretty big dome but it's worth a shot. Thanks!
dear @minitwatch i have a problem i have this exact watch case but the bezel gasket (i didnt even know there was a gasket between this bezel and the case) is broken so the so called bezel of this watch is not connected to the case anymore but i struggle to find this gasket anywhere to buy. Can you maybe Help me?
Do you still get the watches wet after a crystal swap? just curious if you trust the water resistance after seems like it still should be plenty fine for basic water stuff. EDIT..just watched rest of vid see you put it in water now hahaha
I'm wondering, is there MATTE black dial for that model? After I got mine, I was disappointed much by the gloss of standard dial, it steals it's style I think.
Is that a low dome or high dome? If it’s a low dome what do you think a high dome would look like with this watch? I have one and am going to change the crystal.
Great modding. Can you help me? How long is stock strap of 803? I have a small wrist(15.4cm) will it fit? and what do you think about the watch with gray perlon strap?
I'm not sure how long the strap exactly is. I'll have to measure it but I'm certain it's just a bit too long for your wrist. When I use it, i'm on the last hole and my wrist is 6.5" (16.51cm). I think grey would look good but a dark brown would probably match the most.
I am unfamiliar with any shops in Canada. My advice to you would be to look up horology shops (watch repair shops) in your area then check to see if there are online reviews regarding those places. yelp.ca might be useful. Good luck!
Are you Russian? One of my very good friends is Russian and his character of speech is very similar to yours. Russians (west russians) always speak so brightly and enthusiastically about what they are doing or thinking.
I am a very small amount of Russian, yes, however, I am born and raised in Hawai'i. Perhaps this is where I get my enthusiasm from? yes no? Thanks for the comment! I like it!
you have a knack for colors and modding. Your mod combos always looks so nice.
Thank you, kindly! :)
Puts on these silikon "gloves" tuches the crystal with the other hand
I love how lack there of any sort of script in your videos, genuine content is cool

You're welcome, Juan! Cheers!

I love perlon straps, once broken in, they're super soft and comfy.
I will have to keep wearing this one then!
Really good you’ve made a cheap whatch into something decent and good presentation
cool, I hope you do.
I got my snk809 two weeks ago and it is perfect! will send pics when I change the strap.
thinking of getting one of the "louder" seikos; intrigued by the snkn02.
I felt like I could see the color and dome a little better when you were installing it, and it was very subtle once the watch was on... looked great!
I noticed that too! Weird! Do you want a green sapphire dome on yours? :)
Maybe if I had a cameo on your chan chan? ;) Dude it notifies me when you "heart" my comment! How cool is that?!
Oh and congrats on 6000!!!
Thanks! Crazy, huh?? lol Who'da thought!
Hah! Maybe! Hmmmm.
Well done and an intriguing combination of green and cream! I’ve had my eye on this watch and you’ve inspired me to brave a crystal swap if I do. Keep up the awesomeness!
This reference is so underrated! I put a red AR on mine. So many people are like “what’s going on with your watch?”
This model looks dope on thad brown leather strap!
Good on you not drinking, Im currently hungover but I drink Wayy less now too, down to once a week

Thank you! Uncle Jimmy has been pestering me to be in more videos!

Extremely informative and funny tutorial, thanks!
i really hope the snkn02 recraft is in that review line-up

It is not but I might add to oit! Thanks, Christian!
Sweet vid - very well made outro showcasing your work. Nice prep and thorough explanations. Thanks! Subbed. (And gratz on the break from alcohol. Take care of that body!)

We now know what you will be wearing on St Patrick's day:)
That's a good idea!
Still 100m water resistant after the swap?
Is the domed crystal available in a blue tint ?
Do you still get the watches wet after a crystal swap? just curious if you trust the water resistance after seems like it still should be plenty fine for basic water stuff. EDIT..just watched rest of vid see you put it in water now hahaha
hehe, yes! Thanks for watching!
Can you break the crystal if you push too hard?
Want to try myself but i dont wanna break my watch...
I'm wondering, is there MATTE black dial for that model? After I got mine, I was disappointed much by the gloss of standard dial, it steals it's style I think.
Is that a low dome or high dome? If it’s a low dome what do you think a high dome would look like with this watch? I have one and am going to change the crystal.
how thick is the original crystal?
How often did you drink ?
Is the buckle signed TIMEX?
Do you have a website / do work that people send in?
Do you know if the smooth bezel on a SNK is removable?
pretty classy!
Yes yes!
