    Nice build, coincidentally a few days ago I finished a rose gold 36mm case build with white dial, faux diamond indices, rose gold hands and white leather strap with rose gold buckle for my mothers upcoming birthday.

      Nice! I bet it looks great on the white strap!

    where do you find the dial that says seiko i have seen them in aliexpress but not with the seiko letters

      they come shipped with the seiko letters.. they remove them in the product pictures because of copyright issues or smth.. you can always ask the seller about it

    In many watch videos I see people struggle putting the hands on while trying to reach down to do it. Have always thought put it up higher, your portable table fits the bill. Nice watch build.

    Is this a 36mm?
    I want to do the same for my girlfriend but not sure what movement and case to get for her, she's quite petite so a big watch would look silly

    • @jbwatchmods
      @jbwatchmods  4 месяца назад

      Yeah, I used a 36mm case. There is a case size comparison at 1:30 :)

    looks very nice, but dont ignore the color of the indices, they should always go along with the color of the hands. Have a good day! ;)

    Does the gold lose colour ?

    • @jbwatchmods
      @jbwatchmods  Месяц назад

      The plating is actually fairly decent. But like anything, it will loose colour with heavy use. Parts are cheap enough to replace if need be though

      Aliexpress isn't allowed to show the logos in their listing photos. You need to make sure it says "s logo" in the description.
