Universe: "We can't have this, can we?"
1. Car's clutch died. Replacing on Wednesday. 1600 dollars (ACT Stage 1, street flywheel, everything cleaned, seals and bearings replaced)
2. Jury Duty summons. Just great.
3. Dentist. Filling replacement, nice.
4. Oh look, Car registration is due. Super rad
5. Hey now, Motorcycle safety inspection is due. Sweet.
One time long ago, I went to a girl's house party. There wasn't a whole lot of people and we all knew each other. Still, we raged!
There was a girl who was hanging on to me all night. Then another girl started getting close. I was like "THE GAME IS AFOOT". They were both vying for my attention and I loved every fucking second of it. lol. We all got drunker and drunker and things started getting crazy. I don't remember much else from that night after that...
The next morning, I woke up in bed with the second girl. In the bed next to us was the first girl and the second girl's boyfriend. We both (other due) woke up at the same time, looked at each-other and said "OHH SHIT" silently. We exited the room quickly and I told him I was sorry for banging his girlfriend. He said something like "I'm in trouble, I banged her best friend".
They were best friends. OOOPS.

Hey y'all! It is legit still raining 12 hours after filming that first section lol. And yes that's my ugly mug. Did y'all like that little bit? Please follow us in instagram via instagram.com/minitwatch! Aloha!
As weird as it may sound I imagined you looking totally different.
I am SO not good at replacing hands :p
How did you imagine? lol
Your laugh sounds like someone I know and for what ever reason I imagined you looking like him.
Another great vid, keep em coming bro!
Looks good mate! I have the same piece of crystal going into a SNKL23 next week. Hardlex Sux. Cheers!
Hardlex really suxxxxx
I want to change mine seiko 5 hardlex.. i have a rare seiko 5 with midle crown eheh
I still can't link your voice and face.
lolz
I know you've heard us all saying this for a long time now, but Kurt, this is truly an amazing channel! We love the watches, the bands, and especially the quirky humor. I look forward to all your new videos, keep them up brotha!!
Great vid on crystal swap. Gives me the confidence to try it myself. A+ on creativity and editing!
Thanks for the help man! Changing my first crystal and this video was clean af 🙌
Ho braddah, love your videos and your voice make me miss my islands!! Thanks for all your stuffs!
dude your video was so helpful and the commentary is very entertaining, need more views and likes! thanks for sharing.
dude... awesome video. ive had my seiko 5 with a gigantic scratch across it for years. this really helped.
Lol great video and nice humblebrag in the description. You should be friends with that bro,cuz that's one chill dude to wake up next to in that situation and him being totally cool with everything. Getting him a beer is definitely in order!
Oh yeah cuz of your Tisell video, I had to cop it. It arrived last week and it's such a great watch at its price point. Keep on keeping on!
Lol. Oh he was a bit mad at me but more scared of what he had done. haha! We probably smoked a plant substance later on that day :p. Glad you like your Tisell and I'm glad to have helped!
You've just gained a follower - awesome video, I want more of that!
new sub here. I just wanted to say you are very entertaining. I really liked the skit you threw I'm there too. it actually gave me a chuckle legit. It made me think of how all the trols always say stuffs crap when it just doesn't suit what they like lol. Very entertaining youtuber. 10/10 keep up the great watch videos.
Its looks so much better man wow, i really underestimated how much the crystal can change the look of a watch. It looks 10x more expensive now.
Hi! I have a "Seiko 5" reference 7009 from the 80s, there is any movement and crystal compatible to do an upgrade? :D
I have only broke the watches I've tried to mod.....you make it look so easy! Great video
Oh, I've broken a few :p. Thanks!
Collwyn Jones With you on that. Replaced the battery successfully in a Swiss Military and cracked the sapphire crystal pressing the case back on - doh! I could see me cracking a new crystal while pressing it into the case.
What do you think would look better on a turtle X padi with pepsi bezel, double domed, extreme double domed, top hat ? also the AR, since the dial is blue should I go blue and maybe lose a little bit of the red of my minute hand or maybe purple so it play well with the red and the blue ?
Thanks for the guide I got the tools and I'm now ready to practice on a old skx first.
How do you get the crystal, only saying the brand and model of the watch or you must say the diameter, height...?
cool videos,i like the humor with the puppets too;keep it up.
Wow! Just this moment learned this vid is linked to crystal times! You're famous!
how much force do you apply? i'm trying to replace the crystal on my snkl45. and the crystal i got from CT looks pretty slim. i'm scared i might crack it lol.
Hi...can a sapphire replacement be made if it does not come standard
I have a citizen divers but citizen tells me the model does not come with sapphire only hardlex.
I dropped my beloved Seiko 5 SNZH57K1 from about 5.5 ft.!! The glass is all scratched up and the seconds hand just swings around. I feel so stupid for the way I hung it on the coat hanger. 😞 I hope it can still be saved. They're not selling this model anymore. 😖
Ok gotcha. Good to see them. Thanks . Regards from Adrian in Sheffield England.
I have a Bulova and a Seuko lady's watches each from '70s. Self winding, water resistant. Possible to replace with even new Lucite?
Is it possible to put a solid case back to lower the thickness of the watch ? And what would you recommend?
Hey minitwatch, can i confirm with you, snke51 crystal measures at 30mm right? I m ordering 1 to swap. Just need to confirm the measurements. Thank You!
This watch look so cool!
How much do you press to insert the new glass? I have a screw press, I think I should press until pressure needed become very big zn glass do not longer moves.
What is the right size of the glass?
have you ever seen the Seiko logo just go missing on a 5? mine has disapeared and it hasnt been apart?
Great video. Could you recommend a dead flat sapphire Crystal that would fit this watch?
Is a watch crystal remover/press the same thing as the case back press?sorry for the noob question, Im new to modding watches.
What is the size of the crystal for seiko 5?
Has somebody been using this watch for a long time (like over a year at least) and want to give their opinion on it? Im wondering if i should buy it, its so pretty but ive read some opinions that it stops working after some time and in general it tends to break.
How much harder is this than the original Hardlex crystal? Twice as hard? 10 times harder? Thanks!
Curt, what is the music you play at the end? Sounds like the guitarist Nils to me, but I just want to be sure. Thanks buddy.
The sapphire crystal you linked in video doesnt exist when i click the link. Also i found some online from a uk seller, but when i went to check out they did offer shipping to USA. Is there any is providers of sapphire crystals for these seiko 5’s in 30mm
Your reflection on the crystal near the end was spooky cool
I have a Seiko Jimmy Johnson Special edition Chrono SCC505 Solar Watch V175, where do i find a New Crystal, to replace , i hit mine against wall by accident ,cracked chip off opened and removed all glass pieces crystal still in place, do i remove to measure, and what crystal do you reccomend
Where can I get a Bezel and crystal for a Seiko 5 Sportsmatic 6619-9000 ???
Awesome, I'm slowly getting the urge to sapphire all the things but I need to practise on my used cheap seiko 5, I'll end up pressing the crystal dome into the case or the wrong way all together.
I practiced on a busted up Seiko 5 first. It's a good idea. Have patience, get the right tools, prepare and take your time! You got this! Once you do it, you'll be like "well that was easy".
Its compatible for snkl23 can i know the dimention of the sapphire? Thnk you
Great job!
I want to replace the crystal on my Seiko SNK 807 with a blue AR sapphire one. This video helps me a lot Thanks.
Excellent! Glad to have helped!
Your mods take less expensive watches over the top. Really looks great I want one now lol.
Just a little change can make such a big difference, huh!
Hey brother I used to watch your video many years ago never have I subscribe so happens today got to your video and see your face during the opening 😂
How do i get sapphire glass on SNK793?
Nice! I used to have to hide behind the sofa and peep out when you were working on watches.
And now it's just kind of covering your eyes :p
Hi nice video! please let me know what is the diameter of the glass on Seiko 5 SNK ?
Where can we buy crystal like sapphire??
Hi what strap is that on
Great video❤️🙌🏼❤️
Thank you!
Rock on dude. Rock on.
How big is the crystal diameter
Why do you out it in water?
Is a black strap or blue?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT DESCRIPTION HAS ME DYING I LOVE THIS CHANNEL LMAO
Lol. Thanks!
What a great job on this watch ! How many mods do you need to be doing to make it worthwhile buying a press ?
What music intro ? The piano ?
Any interest in swapping out a skx013 7s26 to an NH36 for me ? Also the crystal to a domed sapphire ? I will compensate you for your time obviously up front . Also , nice description box , lol.... I had the same kind of week 2 weeks back . Jury duty and all...
Sorry man. Making videos is all I want to do. Cheers!
Did your puppet at the end just say, "It's Crip!" ? LOL
Probably late asking this question but what is the reason you submerge the watch case and crystal in water?
Probably late replying but presumably it is to test water resistance.
Tiz purdy. Don't worry about the nicks and scratches. They are proof of a well-used/loved watch. Better than a scratch-free safe queen.
Will this fit SNKE01K1?
All my new Sea-gull watches have Sapphire crystals.
My vintage watches all have acrylic.
So less to worry about.
Acrylic polishes up easily with polywatch. Cheap to buy and replace too.
I was given a Seiko with a hardlex crystal and scratched it badly within 6 weeks. I don't use it in case I scratch it again.
I will get a Sapphire fitted soon.
Hello mate great video, can you just confirm the size of the crystal and it's part number for me pls
Repaired mine thanks youu
Cool video man, love the blue, you Filipino bro?
Damn what camera do you use?
I think the small dent on the case was also from the wall. As early as the video i already saw the small dent.. :(
Yeah, that sucked :/ Oh well. Shit happens lol.
I just bought the snk809,think i'll wait until the crystal is scratched before i try that............
What do you thinking about this crystal ? ... "its crap huh" :D :D
Sir your puppets are hilarious.
I saw firstly your video some year and half back, maybe more. Idont rememeber which it exactly was, but what i remember, excelent acting with puppets and super funny time for me. Nice humor forced (in good way) me to watch other vids.
+
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot! Cheers!
Let's get those puppets back please. I do keep asking you. They make me laugh. Please please please . Best wishes from Adrian in Sheffield England.😃😃😃😃😃😃
I've been trying to put them in every video! They are in this one. :p
Great video man! What thickness did you go with for the replacement? And flat or dommed? I have the exact watch in white but hard to find the original specs online. Thank you!
what is the dimension of the crystal of this watch? thank you
Can my SNKE04k1 use the CT063? thanks!
All the dimensions can be found here: crystaltimes.net/?s=ct063
As far as your Seiko 5, it is most likely going to fit however, the only way to be sure is to measure your crystal. Cheers!
Thank you!
Sounds like Wednesday you are getting your hands dirty! I wish I the time to tell you some of my party stories :)
I am having a tuner shop replace my clutch and stuff :p. I don't have the time or patience (or back) for that repair job. Tell away! lol
NICE !!!
is that you at the beginning?
Why was the case soaked in water?
to test waterproofness
Yes!!! Uncle Jimmy!!! F the watch... Jk, great job once again.
Lol. Thanks, David!
whats the turtle's name Archie?
James Alowishus Turtle. But well call him Uncle Jimmy Turtle. =p
Do some hardcore modding! Hand changing! Please!
Wow, it's my watch
D=?
A miserable week in Hawaii? Never! lol
Looks fairly easy - so why do the watchmakers charge $150 for a $20 crystal and 15 minutes of work? That's outright theft!
*Quick tip for if you dont have a press to get the glass out -- use a hammer and two papertowels to catch the shards of glass.*
like for the turtle at the end
370z?
350z. Not mine :p
someone needs to make him a Seiko 5 puppet .
Hmmm...interessssting. :p
Good work bro I got my seiko5 sport 23 jewels has a gift recently and it got a scratch by the 10 digit need some tools like urs to change the crystal can u assist me with link to get a new crystal and tools for the job?
This seiko 5 looks like a GS
Finally found a place for my M.W sticker 👁👄👁🥤
Good! We just say "loosened", not "pre loosened".
Or just heat ithe watch with heat gun until glass pops out and than just put another one in.
Another great mod, sucks about the jury duty, in case you haven't seen this:
ruclips.net/video/bBuNvyo4j54/видео.html
Lol that clip is gold.
Don't try this at home kids. He is a watch repairman. He didn't say that in his video
Ha! He said "strap on". Huh ha huh ha.
I would never have assumed your faced look like that. Haha kidding 😂
I'm not sure how to take that ;p
minitwatch your on screen voice seems very joyful and happy idk im sorry its just your facial expression in those few seconds doesnt fit my preconceived notion on what a happy face should look like
Good because I was disgusted at the rain lol. It was exactly the mood I was going for :p
You sound much younger than you look, if that's really how you look like...
I am old but young at heart :p
Gimli lol
Right? lol
