    Amazing skill, truly well beyond anything I could do. That said I think the original is just perfection that cannot be improved upon!

    Really cool man. I just got an snk809 maybe three weeks ago and it's officially the edc already. Gonna save the video just incase I get bored of it and wanna switch it up a bit

    Thank you for this very interesting video. I have only few questions:
    What is the cleaner you use?
    Which sort of textile is it suitable to lay the glass of the watch?
    Which Dremel polishing paste did you use?
    Can you provide more information on the rotary-tool?
    9.2 mm was the distance between the crown and the case or between the end-point of the crown and the case?
    Which kind of scissor did you use to run the cut?
    Do you remove and plug-in the stem-crown couple only by pressure or do you have to screw/unscrew?

    Would you happen to know the dial size ? Looking at modding mine wonder if an skx dial will fit .

    • @remiwatches8604
      @remiwatches8604  3 года назад +5

      28.5mm - Most dials for 4r36/NH36/7s26 movements should be interchangeable, just make sure they're 28.5mm and the pins sit right and aligned in the movement. Some dials for ETA2486 are also 28.5mm but the pins won't fit right. Cheers :)

    Any idea where I can buy a polished case for the SNK series? It's almost perfect as it is, but a polished look just makes it feel more vintage

    • @remiwatches8604
      @remiwatches8604  2 года назад +1

      I know, right! I wish I could ship you one, but they're hard to find on their own. If you're not up to polishing the case by yourself, contact me to the email in the description.

    edit: I was incorrect. They appear to be part of the case despite the seam.

    Hey could you clarify a few things: 1. You measured and cut the stem from the new nh35, right? 2. Were you able to detach and reuse the crown from the original 7s26 movement? 3. Is it just the camera angle or is the date wheel not perfectly centered? Thanks!

    • @remiwatches8604
      @remiwatches8604  3 года назад

      Hi! 1. Yes I did, but it's an NH36. 2. Yeah I was, but takes some work and a lot of patience. 3. It's the camera angle but you made me check the watch lol.

    Interesting. Not sure why you would want a type B flieger dial with an hour hand that covers the inner numerals rather than points at them but to each their own. If you like it fair play, would be boring if we all liked the same things :)
