It's been way too long since your last project, it's nice to see you back finally.
The Jeremy Clarkson impersination at 52:18 is top!
I've been looking forward to another video! I'm glad to see you evolving!
Keep up the good work!!
Also, i think I'm not the only one who would enjoy you posting more often. Not only build videos, also watch discussion and other things watch related.
I've been looking forward to another upload! 1hr17mins what a treat! 👌
Yay new video! 😃 It’s always fun to watch your work and listen to while working on my watches.
A big thank you for taking the time to make the videos. I just built the SPB207 and it turned out great. Appreciate you.
I love black and gold. So luxurious and classy.
It's been a while. Love this long videos from you, always relaxing to watch 👍
Thanks for taking the time to video this. Your videos have been encouraging for me to do some mod projects.
Absolutely love your work! Such a breath of fresh air to know im not the only one who says a few f## and c## during builds lol. I think you have a real talent in watch modding style.
Cheers for another great video, can't wait for the next.
Whenever I see a new one of your videos I know I'm in for an enjoyable evening 👍
Great video! I’m glad you gave an honest account of your problems with Namoki’s products. I have had problems with almost every item I have purchased from them, and while they have tried to fix things, I will no longer purchase products from them. It’s just not worth the hassle and disappointment.
Such poor QC even without a macro lens!
A great video and lots of options for future modding. Great to see you back and thanks for taking the time to make the videos. 👍
I was wondering where you been mate, great to see another vid!!!
Good to see you back 👍👍😀😀
thanks for your work my dad magnetised my SKX 009 to the point of failure. so using your videos i swapped in a NH36 and although I paid $120 like in 2017, i got $350. than man!
Another great video my friend! I`m happy that you`re still around. I`ve made a few Namoki builds lately, and I love their parts. I made the SPB297, 299, & 301 Glacier dial trio, and they turned out amazing! So far, DLW and Namoki seem to have the best parts at the best prices. Thank you for not editing out the parts where you had difficulties. We have all been there, and it makes it more real to see someone else struggle the way we all do sometimes. looking forward to you next video already! Cheers from Canada!
Hey! It's been a while. Nice to see you again.
I suspect the gold bracelet uses the same size screws as the regular stainless steel one, but the PVD coating makes the tolerances much tighter. It would be interesting to know how much wear-and-tear the watch can take before the 'gold' starts to wear off.
so long my friend, this is what i looking for✨
You had me in fits of laughter when you were wrestling with the screws in that gold strap! I've been there too! Excellent work sir! Thanks for a great video!
You are now responsible for me choosing one of these ! I have done a bit of watch repairing before, swapping movements on a broken Citizen ladies watch and a real Omega Seamaster Quartz, so hope I can get this together when it arrives. Nice content and I went for the base kit plus the display case back and bracelet as your video showed these parts off and I think the end result is great. I am new to Seiko mods but looks like a good way to build some good and unique watches.
Yaay another video from you, ty❤
These videos a great and (for me at least) the reason is because you don't manage this without a mistake here and there. You have to adjust your plans on the fly sometimes and that's what everyone learning how to do this has to do. Hopefully less often as we learn more of course but still it's nice to see that perfection isn't an absolute requirement right out of the gate. I love watching the channels where guys with amazing skills seem to get everything right the first go around as much as the next person but it will be long time before I'm one of those guys (if ever). My builds still seem to go together more like yours appear to and that makes me feel like this isn't a hopeless effort. Thank you!
I have ordered all parts few have come few are yet to be delivered, got a customized Seiko logo dial as well. I see this video every other day and can't hold my excitement
I love the drama. I think the plating of the gold made the screws tougher to be undone. Keep up the good work!
Nice one Dan your vids are compulsive viewing . I recently did a build using the namoki mm300 case and the Spb207 dial . I found the lug fit on their bracelet to be quite good , I’m a bit undecided on the the taper to 16mm though 🤔. Keep up the good work I keep going back to your old vids for inspiration.
Upon watching your video I think perhaps the gold coating that is being applied is messing with the threads of the screws.
No guarantee but it would make sense to me.
not sure if anyone else has said this, but if are building a watch with no date function, I would heavily recommend the nh38 movement. As it you won't have the "ghost" date function on the crown. (It is also cheaper than the nh71).
Black Bay is my next project, once all the parts have arrived. I've gone for gold accent dial and hands but had to order the dial with a date window ( dial cost and availability issues made me make a decision). Fortunately I found a movement with a black date ring with gold numbers so I'm hoping it will blend in.
Thanks for you video posts as they encouraged me to start watch moding a few months ago and I now have a growing collection of unique watches all with my on twist.
You're most welcome! The best possible outcome from sharing my mod videos is exactly this, I'm glad you've got a bunch of watches that you've built and can enjoy!
i love how he flash the build when brush his hair
Great video! Tip 1: Maybe use a pin vise instead of pliers when adjusting the stem? Tip 2: Get an adhesive swab from Bergeon to remove dust an small particles from the dial and hands. It does not leave smudges or prints.
Love your videos man. I relate to your frustrations so much. I sound identical to you. Keep up the great content.
Nice Video and glad to see that everybody has similar problems 😄
What a quality channel. Immediate follow
Great vids mate, good to see you back!
Is the ELP 4k camera your main camera for most shots?
I use the ELP 4K camera for some of the top down shots and the build process. Its pretty good at getting sharp picture when zoomed in a lot, but its not that great at the wide shots. The NX500 that I use for the Wide shot and all the ending BRoll is so much better in sharpness and colour accuracy to name a couple.
I've actually been questioning the quality of the ELP 4K for a while now, since it especially suffers in low light. As much as it wants to be a "4K camera" its just a webcam with a small sensor and is limited by that. I'd like to upgrade it in the future, since its really good HALF the time and really BAD the other half of the time and I don't like the inconsistency. Sometimes I think about going back to using the NX500 for everything because of how much better it is and I probably would if it didn't run the risk of overheating and shutting off when recording for more than an hour.
@@ItsAnotherWatch Amazing info, thank you. I’m just starting into watch making/modding and want to film and document my progress. I’m going to film mainly from iPhone 14pro but was thinking of adding a second angle.
Appreciate you taking the time for such a detailed response. The shots you use always look nice and crisp BTW!
✌🏻
Indeed, good to see you back!
I've done that "trick" bending the hands, and sent my hands flying through the room a number of times 😂😂😂
I scream all the time as well when I mess up.
BTW, I really like the NH71 from the front as well, why don't you try it without the dial?
Also, a gold bezel on the silver case would look awesome as well.
Hi Dan and thanks for another great video.
I often recommend your content to people interested in modding because you show an authentic experience with all the frustrations and little victories that are part of building a watch. I had the same issues cutting the stem when I built my Namoki BB58. Have I fixed it? Nah! I’ll do it some day.
I think you set the hands a little too far down on their pinions and that’s why they conflicted with each other so much.
You can soak the bracelet in oil to rid it of squeaks. People in the watch community often do this, especially with fakes. They call it the oil bath.
Great Video, very interesting. I have seen that rotor and the bridge on their site a while ago. I thought about to buy it. but I was hesitant to buy it, because of the price and the effort. But now I think about it more seriously and thank you I know what I have to do. Just a note: why using a skeleton movement without having a dial which shows the whole beauty of the movement ? Its a waste in my oppinion, but nice to know that seiko makes this kind of movement. Thanks for the informative video again.
I understand where you're coming from there. The skeletonized nature of the NH71 is definitely lost on this build. But as far as I'm aware there isnt a gold NH36/35 option. And since it doesn't have any date function it suits the watch functionally so I went for it anyway. Especially since its still a good looking movement from the back.
@@ItsAnotherWatch Thanks for responding and understanding my point of view. You made your intention of having a gold colour movement in the video clear, I can respect that.
Would be nice a translucent dial to see the movement, I think the new seiko 5 have a model like that.
I have a Timex NAVI-XL and its every bit as good as this, and it looks better too.
Hi great builds you got there ! Quick question? How does that nh71 movement in the vid at (1:07.18) HAVE SUCH A SMOOTH SWEEP OMG!!?!🤯🤯❤ is it an edit or what the hogwarts is going on please - you made it look like a springdrive! Thx great video!
Thanks very much! Haha thats just sped up footage. I wanted the camera sweep of that shot to go faster for the montage so I increased the speed of it.
21:33 Just plop it on there with tweezers, then press down with a big, flat, smooth object like the movement case. It becomes intuitive with practice.
Long time no see my friend!
you get some good footage from your ELP mate
16:08 Might not have firmly seated the dial. Seiko movements usually give good hand clearance, so the hour hand should not have hit the indice.
I think you went off a little bit hard at them, but yeah, go get it, King.
On the second ready made watch, there appears to be a problem with the bezel at 10-11 o clock on the marker. Might be fluff, might not. Other than that, nice build..? If not fraught with problems.
hey good video more om
❣️
20:17 I see a gap below the dial.
Yeah.. perhaps I didn't file down the remains of the extra dial feet enough.
Should've just throw the bracelet in to some boiling water or pored water on it. Expand the outer... Less hammer violence
Gold bracelet has reverse threads.
Next time try use a small hand held butane torch to heat up the screw, 2 second blast and will beg to come out. This also works very well to remove Cyclopses aka date magnifiers
Fun but seems China mods and/or parts are not up to par here. Not worth it.
well the bracelet isnt upto the standard, for me now its unusable, the screws are pathetic and looks cheap. the screws doesnt come out at all,
Hey! Do you have a Instagram page!? Would love to follow there
Just RUclips. I'm not much for social media so this is all I've got. Probably to my detriment but I like to keep things simple.
@ItsAnotherWatch ah ok! But keep up the great work, I found your Chanel about 3 weeks ago and I've almost watched all your videos!
Great mods, and nice to see a channel that shows the small mosshaps inte making process
