Not trying to be a snob - please don't take this the wrong way, but one tip: don't touch the movement with your bear hands! The oils and moisture in our skin will corrode it, even with the lightest of handling. Cheap latex gloves will do! Love the vid.
Have you received your Butt-Hurt slip yet? Make sure to get it completely filled out, and sent asap for your chances of winning a free tube of Desitin butt cream, and a free pack of Huggies diapers.
so many things were done in this video that would make a watchmaker puke, but its so amateur that its a perfect tutorial for EVERYONE that isnt a certified watchmaker. well done
I have two Invictas that I just replaced batteries in. I dont wear them often, but I realized the inside of the crystals were unbelievable cloudy, awful to the point I wouldnt wear them. It was simple to take out the movement and voila! crystal clear and looking good after a simple clean. The key is to find the detent to remove the crown! look for what moves when you pull out the crown, put it in the date adjustment position and apply light pressure, it slid right out. Great video!
This is just what I needed to fix an Invicta Coalition Forces Radar Quartz Chrono Watch with a broken stem. I can now swap the broken stem with another Invicta. Thanks for uploading this great and helpful video!
Great watch! I collected a two tone and a Seiko skx0013 today! Invicta feels and looks incredible for its price! I love it and can't take my eyes off it ! Great watch for a first time collector !
Thank you so muck I took apart my invicta because I forgot to screw in the crown and it got wet an some water got it and the inside forged up luckily I stumbled on your video and I was able to fix it thank you so much I’m glad I did not have to take it to a repair shop wher they wher about to charg me $60 thank you
Thank you -- I was inspired finally to buy a cheap toolkit and remove the pesky Invicta wings that have been floating around in the face area of my prodiver which a can one wear again! Would have cost me 60 bucks at the Invicta repair center ! Not worth it for a 90 dollar watch! Keep the vids coming.
Every mechanical watch has mainspring and no, this movement can't be overwound because at some point of winding the mainspring will just start "bouncing"
Great mod. Tim from Australia. Any ideas how to make the Invicta lug holes bigger? The 2.5mm Seiko dive spring bars slightly too big for the Invicta. Cheap spring bars will seize up in sea water.
@@peterk2455 yes, they all are interchangeable, but I was more for the looks, the one that's more available is the 6r15 but mostly plain ugly or undecorated, can you give me a link to some of the others?
I may try using a dentist Diamond drill, not to go all the way through but just to make slightly larger holes (if I can access one). One reason why Invicta not a true diver.
+Jarrod Kackley How long does it last? You should have 40 or so hours of reserve but winding it alone you may only get a few hours. Need to wear it or shake it for awhile to get the full 40.
@ Bruce Swearingen Watch isn’t broken if it is still working after modding and isn’t perfect if you want to mod it. We buy dirty cheap watches with tons of flaws just to remove some of them and make these watches perfect in our eyes.
I wish to have an automatic watch but can't afford it and this man making Frankenstein proyects like he doesn't care to ruin his beautiful Invicta watch 😭 i suffer oh man enjoy your privilege life 🙏 I see some videos of people testing expensive phones until they break it here on YT world is crazy!
OUCH! Everything about the method you used is so wrong. No finger Cots, inappropriate tools, no dust cover no tweezers. What on God's earth are you doing to it anyway? I cringed watching this.
Very badly done . Bare fingers all over it and he never used a watch cushion to support it . The problem with you tube is that you have all these untrained people showing other idiots how to NOT do something correctly .
Why buy it if your going to modify it? Just buy one that you like. That’s my new video that I’ll make of me walking in to a store and buying the watch I like. WELCOME

Yeah! This is not a motorcycle you are working on.
and in 200 years it would matter. This is a 50 dollar watch, Bro...I think it wont rot from skin oils before it is LONG gone

Oh I'm sure a watchmaker would want to hang me but it was a fun little project on a cheap watch. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Thanks, I agree!
I like how you are doing this on a firearms schematic pad. Just what id do!;)

What button were you pushing I'm trying to remove the steam cuz it broke in the watch
I would like to put a diamond bezel on the front is there a video for
I like your auntie magnetic Dental pick
Does this watch have a mainspring? Can it be overwound?

man dont know why your fighting with it to revome the movement. I just tiped it over and it droped
Could you tell me the diameter of the Dial please?
ساعة رائعة وجميلة امتلك واحة منها انها قمة الروعة

Thank you! Hmm, I have no idea. I suppose you could drill them all the way through but that would take some patience.
Thanks 👍
I have a Invicta first generation Bolt. the screw-down crown is stripped that's the way I received it from a mail order. can it be fixed?
+Robert Barcenas Yeah but I would send it unless you are comfortable will taken it apart.
Will ragas or yobkies dials works? Are they the same size as the swirl skx? Thanks
I know yobkies will, any Seiko dial pretty much.
hey man do you know where can I buy a Seiko 6R27 winding rotor? and how much could it cost, preferible golden but not necessary
Hmm. Not sure on that one.
ok thank you any way
Have you tried looking for a caliber 6R15, 6R20, 6R21 or 6R24 Rotor?
@@peterk2455 yes, they all are interchangeable, but I was more for the looks, the one that's more available is the 6r15 but mostly plain ugly or undecorated, can you give me a link to some of the others?
Anyone know how the case back glass is held in? I had mine fall out.

1:16 movió el reloj y el péndulo ni se movió!!!!! 😱 Eso es una mala señal?
PÉNDULO DONT MOVE.. IS BAD SIGNAL?
using the hu friedy curete on the invicta, nice.
Lol, nice catch! Don't worry, it's not used on teeth any longer.
The green dial is that from dagaz , I'm looking to get one . I like ur mod outstanding work
Thanks, I appreciate it!
where did you get the case holder?
Just a cheapo set from Amazon.
Im no pro here by no means but if its a seiko movement why not just buy a 007 after market case for 45 bucks and not worry about all the grinding
What is the purpose of the mod.
+Teunis Dokter Just preparing for new dial, crown guard removal, etc.. For looks.
+Johnnysshop i watched part 10, great job on doing this. It's not my style, but respect for the almost 'uhrmacher'-like skills.
mine won't stay wound, and it's hard to deal with invicta
+Jarrod Kackley How long does it last? You should have 40 or so hours of reserve but winding it alone you may only get a few hours. Need to wear it or shake it for awhile to get the full 40.
Wind it shake it fall asleep looses time
Working alot better, I keep it wound real good
+Jarrod Kackley good
Ace very good
Thanks!
I think i m going to buy this watch
They are a lot of fun to mod!
Me compre un modelo igual precioso clásico para gente qué no puede tener un rolex muy hermoso reloj
don't ever touch an expensive watch
Breaking a perfectly good watch

i need more sterile bro
your fingers block the images....absurd

or you could just buy like a casio diver which is ten times the quality for 55 bucks. This is like "modding" a Ford Escort
