Really enjoyed this two part story. It would be interesting if you could explore creating your own logo and adding it to the watch dial, that would really make it custom!
Please dude I’m trying to do this myself the dimensions are hard to work with in gimp lmao
Did you watch all the way to the end?!
I think it’d be cooler if he’d engrave the logo into the crown,
He pretty much made the logo-less dials his thing and I learned to like it
@@camenskycameron8413 I just wanna make my own logo and have it extruding like my idea is a four leaf clover and the word or Pronoun Quinn cuz it’s my last name
My first name is Cameron so I like ur name lmao
Continue with this custom watch videos! I absolutely love watching you build watches, since you don’t do it in a professional/corporate way.
Im in the process of ordering parts for my own field watch. Ive found this series the most down to earth, and helpful one of the many modding videos of RUclips. Good work dude.
The bad thing, is that im already planning my second one before ive even ordered the parts for my first.
I’ve made two just order parts for a third… now I’m deciding which movements to try next haha. I’m giving one of them to my dad for a retirement present though so I’m not counting that one haha.ive been doing NH35A movements. I’m struggling to decide between gmt next or chronograph.
I love how happy this makes you.
yes!! its so wholesome :)
Built my very own after seeing your first watch video and I'm obsessed!
I made the mistake of not getting a hand pusher or the fancy blue tack, so the seconds hand took me a while to get on but nothing beats wearing a watch you built every day :)
Really enjoying this content Elliot, makes me want go back to analog again! So cool. ❤
I love watching these. I've now built close to 15 watches(I need to stop, help me please) since your 62MAS homage where you got me hooked on this hobby. I can't wait to watch the next one. Cheers
15??, Pls start posting yours.
Pictures at least

Michael J Fox helping with the hand placement.
Awesome upgrade! 👌 Man, I feel the same way about the finger-doms 😂 Definitely make the fingers numb afterwards, and they are also quite slippery.
Would you be able to put out a video tutorial on how to search for and find the parts? Like how you make sure the parts will all work with each other, keywords you use to find specific styles of hands, cases, faces…
Just search NH34/35/36 then add dial, hands, case etc. I search for nh35 case, nh35 dial, nh35 hands. You'll find exactly what you need.
Check the description. That’s where he gets his parts.
Yeah I back this, would love to see how you pick and choose what you order and how to make sure you’re getting the right parts - especially for absolute beginners like me
rodico has lots of uses with watch building! its very handy to get tiny specks of dust off a watch face with out harming it and i liked to place items i didnt wanna lose in it like screws etc when i used to service watches
It looks so cool loving this series.
So am I!
I was glad to see this pop up in my feed. Thanks for creating this.
lovely summerwatch oh so fresh and clean you ever have questions i am a watchmaker from holland so just ask!! rodico is watchmaker third hand and carbon tweezers very nice and yes movement holders you realy need!!!
Amazing mate, please keep doing these vids. I've ordered my first tools to play arounf with my watch and you inspire to try and build my own from scratch
I am so glad to see a part two on this ! Really liking your watch content !
Keep on going ! 😁🙏🏻
i just ordered parts yesterday for my first build thanks in part to this series making it look approachable. Its a Seiko and somewhat funnily i did white and silver with the cyan lume and hands
Still a beautiful watch and it's even prettier with the new bracelet. I love it.
omg I love the turquoise color
I just got into watch collecting. I've loved watches since I was young but I never had anyone teach me or bring deeper into the world. amzwatch brought closer to a community and hobby I always wanted to get into more and that is incredibly meaningful to me !
I would've never been interested in watching somebody build watches or a scooter, but somehow I enjoy both when Elliott does it.
Well done. Super nice looking watch. Those AliExpress parts can be extremely good quality.
ive been binging all your content on both channels since finding these watch videos lmao inspiring stuff.
Omg I have just ordered all the bits to make mine exactly the same 😮
I recently started building NH35 based watches and enjoy your content.
By accident I found that a tiny amount of rodico on the tip of the second hand pusher grips the hand directly over the post. With a decent magnification I can line up and push the hand on easily. Also the grippy back of the case cushion is excellent for removing/tightening screw-in case backs.
Would love to see you make a open heart Watch!!
Very nice Elliot!
Loved the first video. Its even better with the new band. I have the same one on my galaxy watch 6 classic.
Thank you for inspiring me to make watch content
Hey
I see that there are a lot of dial size options available 29, 31 mm.
What size should be ordered to fit this submariner style case?
Absolutely love these watch videos
Hey man I saw that u didnt link the movement holder, I would love it if u did
the new bracelet fits so well!!
Very Nice, just wondered why it took you so long to use the movement holder you bought 😂
the custom watch is insane
The boy is learning...but twist the rodeco to a point and it's sticky enough to barely pick up the hand by its pointy tip allowing you to place the hand and push fit it with the slightest touch
Really nice job you did elliot
I use a hockey puck as a cushion… works wonders
Great work!
Love the colour you chose for this watch really great content if my eyes 👀 were good enough I really would give making one the same a go.👍👍🙏
Do you have a links to all the watch parts? Would love to make one like it! New to building watches.
I got myself a nice new watch because of these videos!
im loving these watch videos!!
Doesn’t the GMT hand move independently from the other hands when you’re at the date selection function and turn the crown the opposite direction?
About the GMT hand, would be just moving/setting it to align?
At least on a ronda 515.24H the GMT hands moves freely on the setting position
awesome video man! would be great if you did a marinemaster homage, like the original but with sapphire and full lumed ceramic bezel etc.
Another custom watch video, yes man 👍🏽👍🏽
Great vid cheers
It will sound weird but when my plastic tips tweezers wear out, I just sharpen them with an exacto knife. Works like a charm to make a propper sharp tip
what is the best way to trim the crown stem?
Question, why couldn't you just adjust the GMT hand to line up with the hour and minute hand? I can adjust the GMT hand by twisting the opposite direction from the date settings on the crown. Did it still just refuse to line up then?
The alignment of it was off.
it was installed wrong
Jubilee is way better than the Oyster bracelet!! Also a nice addition that you have the Glidelock adjustment on it, which the real GMT doesn't actually have! Wish mine did!
i feel like it would probably easier for you to have a much lower chair/much higher desk (that is the setup most matchmaker use) other than that great job
Nice watch. I wonder if there’s a bezel that’s half blue half silver. That would be so nice
Great job man, love to fallow you... Frédéric from Paris France.
it is stunning man, wow....
love the tiffany blue color 🥰 but i like the oyster band more than the jubilee one
It's like the DS wire removal and install the whole time
love that Casio, I've got the same one
Nicely done, that was professional work even too professional for a cheap japanese movement 😂. I have really enjoyed your work and of course not everyone would agree with you about how gorgeous is the watch but that is because it is your own work and sweat. When will you fix old watches?
Thats a lot of that blue stuff! Just pinch a lil of it and stick it at the end of a toothpick next time 😂
amzwatch Literally the happiest place we men are!
Great job
Is it possible do not use the movement holder into the case watch?
Hell yea, great video. Funny enough I ended up building my own "bruce wayne" style GMT watch after you first built this watch. Seconds hands are really tricky!
Rodeco is great stuff for cleaning smudges too
I have here latex gloves, finger cots and a bag of cotton gloves, took me a while to find cots that I could put up with as I have super thick hands and fingers, my little fingers are both Z's and my middle finger is Z+4... standard cots just don't fit nor gloves but the cotton ones do stretch enough to not be restrictive.
Watch out for cotton as it can leave fibers on the movement. If you can find aftermarket nitrile or latex gloves in extra large you can cut off the thumbs and see if they fit.
Not something I'd wear, but damn that is a good looking watch
can you please update the movement holder link? thanks
1:00 My Vostok Komandirskie watch also is like that.
The hour and minute hands are out by 5 minutes and the 24 wheel of this model is out by 20 minutes from the hours hand.
Not that this bothers me as it does not affect reading the time and is part of the Russian made roughness of it.
The most watchmaking I have done is regulating this piece and modifying 3 Casios.
You should get a domed crystal too
Another banger mate! Whats your sort of wait time from Aliexpress?
Amazing
Just made my own watch today. Handy are the hardest part
I'm also thinking about making a Seiko Nh36 powered daily driver
u the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rly enjoyed
Yeah that’s a cool watch
boutta build my own this weekend
Good luck!
@@TheRetroFuture2 Thx
I have the parts on the way to build a custom Omega Speedmaster Alaska Project, but with a logo designed by me :D And it was all due to this guy's videos hahaha
wristwatch revival if he were more chaotic but in a funny way:
Seeing these videos makes me wanna build my own. Anyone know where I can get the parts I need?
Nice
Really wanna build my own watch might have to
love the meticulousness, do the bezel next. It seems slightly misaligned 😅keep up the builds!
What dose the gmt do?
bangin
I don't really get watches but... Elliot is nice
I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
Is the bracelet actually like a glide lock or is it just mimicking the look?
Did you check out oil filled watches?
They look sooo trippy
Looks beautiful!
White rubber sports strap!
isnt the gmt hand supposed to be set by itself? why dismantle the watch to sinch the 2 hands?
AMazing 😊
And gmt hand shud be above hour hand if we speaking with Rolex inspired in mind. P/s if you have near to you any local vapemod vendor you can buy a ceramic tip tweezer.
Yes, more watch mods. 🎉
You really hammered us with ads on this one…
It will look better on a white oysterflex integrated strap
mamacoo 's watches are worth it！
He defo redone it after recording 🤣
I always seem to break the post on the Chinese movements the second hand hole seems to small
