@@caligoola just practice endlessly on cheap watches… after a couple months or whenever your able to consistently get those results you’ll be fine.

Just have a little micro vacuum running next to it when putting the movement back in the case. It worked for me. 😊 … The third time I tried it. 😂 Lesson learned.
Marcus.. It's honestly so unbelievable that I've found a channel here on RUclips that with every single video catches my interests. As one can most likely see, I'm totally into watches, but also EDC, health, life organization, gadgets, etc. I've also lost a lot of weight and got fit, and I even have a software engineering background. Love your positive mindset. Please never stop!
Best course of action is to find a watchmaker / service technician who's willing to work with you and more importantly willing to go back and forth with you to assemble your custom watch for you. Most parts look cool but wont fit together one needs someone with that technical expertise. If ones lucky to find such a person (within your budget ). It's smooth sailing.
I was a full-time student. I just graduated and I’m looking to get into grad school so I don’t have much funds. So I just might try this out and hopefully get it right. I would really like a nice watch, but I just can’t afford it right now. But this might be possible. Thanks for the helpful video.
Just stumbled across your channel i can appreciate a diy lol why buy it when you can build it is my motto 😂 also Mr marcus that last watch you showed with the open back is just incredibly beautiful. If i cant build it Can you build me one. Do a link for all the parts would love to have one of my own
amazing work and result! seriously looking into a mas62 as i find its the best looking diver of all time! may i ask what water resistance you can get with this build?
Hello mate, nice video, i have some questions. How long do items take to arrive ? Haven't you had any problems with the sellers ? I've been wanting to build a watch for a long time
Hi Marcus what a good video you made! I would like to know if you have an aliexpress link for the special watch nipper and by the way the link for the watch face doesn't work. Thanx for answering in advance
I come from India . I got many gods here and I admire them just the same . And other gods too . But we’ve got the universe and science and logic which is interesting none the less . Fatcts- all them books preach the same . What I have deciphered I’m a strong believer in my own heart and it’s … Karma > spirituality > religion . Rest is surrendered to the all almighty “universe” . The allmigty that making us evolve with good and bad times . Tells me suicide is a sin. So the higher powers I pray the mm to watch over me and good people and let’s see what this wasted less snd mediocre life has to offer . I am where I am was supposed to be .
Make sure the case matches the movement. The links below are NOT affiliate links so I don’t make any money from them. But I’ve done my best to make sure everything works together.
Talks about importance of using gloves just after he's touched everything and rubbed his oily fingers into the cushion a few times. Waste of money buying the gloves then 😂😂😂😂
Okay ... but you can buy an authentic Seiko automatic with a metal bracelet for about $200. Other than the satisfaction of putting some parts together yourself, why would you bother to assemble an inferior movement without a warranty with a rubber/plastic bracelet to save - let't be honest given the likey audience of this channel - a half hour's wages? And you are going to spend the half hour (or more) assembling an inferior watch.
Ah. You’re right of course. For me it’s actually the joy of putting it together. I’m not actually trying to make a fake watch. I’m trying to make something personal. But totally get your point.
Inferior is subjective. I’ve built a lot of watches in the sub200 range and I feel they are better than offerings from branded watches in similar price range. For one， almost all AliX cases come with sapphire crystal, for that I feel it’s worth the price.
Nh35 is not an inferior movement, it's actually same as many seiko watches i own like the 2nd gen monster and turtle (4r36=nh36=nh35 with date wheel) thank you for standing up for the profit of corporations
It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MaMaCoo watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
Holy crap I'm strangely totally stoked to try it! This is the start of something... GENTS AS AN OLD GUY LET ME OFFER SOME ADVICE TO THE YOUNG MARRIED GUYS... BUILD ONE FOR HER AT THE SAME TIME YOU BUILD ONE FOR YOURSELF...HIS AND HERS. You will then be on your way
OK, Marcus - this video has me now excited to build my own watch. What a fantastic way to not only enjoy a sweet looking timepiece but to learn all the innerworkings and then wearing it with pride. Friggin awesome. Really appreciate your inspiration. Cheers.
@@MarcusCreates how accurate was the watch? I've bought cheap watches from that part of the world and they would go minutes out a day so you have to constantly adjust them
When putting on the hand set, I would have kept the crown in the time-setting position so you could align them all at the 12 without them ticking away out from under you like we saw with the seconds hand.
this is actually sucha fantastic idea. Tip for lubricating gaskets (o-rings): most lubricants come with a bit of foam on the lid too, and if you put the gasket in and the lid back on, you can twist the lid so it applies an even coating of lubricant onto the gasket that's not too thick. I do hope you get into building more watches and hopefully repairing them.
I think I just found a new hobbie. A couple of days ago I saw a Seiko that really looked like a Rolex Submariner... that's when I discovered the world of Seiko Mods. To be honest, I still don't have an opinion whether buying a Mod watch that doesn't officially exist with a label in it is a counterfeit or not, so I wondered that if I could assemble a watch myself that would be basically skipping this moral dilemma. But I just thought it would be barely impossible for me to do this, but then this video appeared to me. Now I'm ready to give it a try. 🧐 Thank you!
Take a look at the following two channels as well: Just Another Watch, and Lume shot (especially his stealth two-tone & bloodmoon videos are 👍) Those two guys make phenomenal watch building videos too.
I've just recently discovered your channel with the travel edc video and a friend just sent me this. Perfect timing for me as I've literally ordered watch parts just two days ago. I also love the relaxed music in the background, I think that together with your voice made this so enjoyable to watch.
Missing chapter ring. Missing movement spacer to stop the face touching the date wheel. Missing the "fixing" of the face to the movement (normally levers or screws to hold it together) Missing the movement fixings in the rear to secure it in the case. Leave the stem pulled to the "out" position when placing on the hands as the watch is still ticking otherwise. Use rodico to remove specs from face/glass. Use lock-tite on the crown and file down the stem after cutting. Do all that and you've got yourself a fine watch.
that inflatable ball is really a discovery, I thought the wrench is the only way to go about opening watches and was going to order one. But obviously the ball is gentler option
Such a nice a clean build, watch making is so relaxing and you can make a beautiful unique timepiece in the end. Just a little tip when putting the hands on, when you make your date wheel tick over to 12am i wouldn't push the key less works back in, because the time keeps ticking and when you set your hands to 12 it may be 10 minutes past 12 or however long it took you to put your hands on, happy watch making and very impressive time piece 😊
@@MarcusCreates I loved the look of the other watch you showed a few times in the video with that white dial, do you have a link for that dial that I can use on my own watch?
When you have the dial and hands done, place the case over the watch then flip the movement holder. I've watched some pros do that, and it's worked great for me. Wish you would have shown the watch after it was done. It's a 62 mas style right?
Don't stick your finger in the gasket lube. Don't place the new gasket on the table. Even if it hasn't been lubed yet tiny particles will contaminate the gasket. Someone already mentioned to use threadlocker on the crown. I'd use blue. I'd also suggest you get Rodico for cleaning specks of dust off the dial, crystal and movement. A blower doesn't necessarily remove particles.
Quick handy tip. Have a new sheet of A4 paper or even A5 as a work mat. Can stick it to the desk if you want to. Good for seeing small items and also you can wipe crap on it if you need to.
@@MarcusCreates kind of. Worked in a prestige jewellers for many years. We had an old watchmaker in the shop. He was ridiculously clever. He escaped Yugoslavia during WW2 and learned watchmaking when he came to the UK. I would often be searching around on the floor for something so tiny… the old dustpan and brush and a strong magnet was a life saver lol. Titanium tweezers too. He had a lathe so small he could hand make parts- like the stems for the crown to fit onto. Bergeon watch tools were his favourite. I learned so much from him, not how to hand make parts though unfortunately 😂😂 This is a great video, and a really cool idea. I used to have a Rolex like yours too. Stupidly sold it some years ago 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’ll hopefully have one again one day. 👍🏻 More tips would be- 3x Eyeglass. Have your chair very low so your armpits rest on the desk. You did really well here btw. Thanks. Sorry for the life story. Just bought back such fond memories.
When you are pushing the movement rod back in the watch after the re assembly press the rod release while putting the rod back it will make the assembly easy or els it might mess the movement for sure ,I believe it have done a number in this movement already as I see. Just a advise, and I love your work
Interested to see if anyone actually used this video as a guide? I think it would be fun to do this as a bonding project with my 3 brothers-in-law over the 4th of July weekend. It would have to be simple enough that we could kind of bulk order some parts and all put it together, together. Also, great channel. Been following for a few months and I’ve already made purchases based on recommendations
Rolex "Submariner" and "Date Just" are two completely different watches. The correct name is just a Submariner Date and this particular model is the 116610LN
Nice to see you build a watch. It really needs a chapter ring though. I've built quite a few watches, usually just ideas on what I think would make a nice watch. I only use Seiko branded dials if I'm modifying an actual Seiko. If I'm building one from just parts off AliX I don't like to have Seiko on the dial, even if I'm using a Seiko/SII movement.
Thanks for the tips! I didn’t even know there was such as thing as a chapter ring until after I made this and a couple of folks mentioned it. I might add one.

It’s not hard to get a watch together, but getting a watch together without any marks or dust on the dial, crystal and hands is Not easy.
That's literally why I never wanna take apart my watches 😭😭😭😭

Dude its a beauty. Ahem、 that Artem strap makes that watch ... the extra $85 is worth it.
By the way, with the limited watch knowledge I have. I believe when lubing the gasket, you are supposed to shake it in the lube jar.
That makes sense. I’m used to lubing motorcycle gaskets 😂
Cool project, but I can't help but wish I can find a watchmaker react to this video😂😂😂
I’m sure I’m doing everything wrong

Makes sense. I agree and am probably going to change mine. It doesn’t actually say it has a fake logo on it on the listing.

You can't call yourself a "non watch guy" while owning a Rolex my friend. We got you 😂
Something looks off, it definitely needs a chapter ring to make it less 'empty'
The only thing I wasn't sure of was how you put the second hand on. Did you click it into place?

Hey, loved the video, i find the part of cutting the crown a bit hard to do myself, where did you buy that measurement equipment?
It’s just a calipers. You’ll get one for $20 in any hardware store

Huh?
