Perfect build. After seeing many mods on youtube I decided to search for a worthy mod that I would try to build myself. After I saw this video, it´s clear now. I am going to build myself an OceanMaster. Thank you for sharing this great build.
I'm not the biggest homage fan, I feel we have reached peak submariner... However when I saw the thumbnail I had to click, that combination is stunning!
What a truly beautiful piece you made! I love that particular shade of blue. I forgot to mention the excellent and professional appearance of the video, too!
For day date application, you might want to consider turtle PADI dial, of course blue tone will be different. Also need to change bezel insert in different colour. With PADI blue shade, it might be too loud on the watch if you use Blue YM insert.
A very stylish and well executed job. The only part I would be nervous about is cutting the stem length, maybe some tips the next time you do a similar job, it would be well appreciated.
Thanks. Cutting stem is by estimation. Don't over cut. Cut abit by abit and test is on crown and watch. Once you do several mods, you will get a hang of it.
Glad to hear that it is useful for you. That is my main intension to share tips and tricks with the fellow modder. My method might not be 100% correct but you can extract whatever information is suitable for you. Thank you again for your kind comment and support.
Wow amazing! Very informative and thorough. I just stumbled on this video and now subscribed! Beautiful shots and detailed explanation of what you were doing. I wish I had all of these tools so I could try my hand at modding for fun
Thanks for your support and kind words. I have listed down affordable tools in the description, just in case you want to acquire them to hands on them.
Nice watch but i think it lacks a dash of contrast. What about a yellow second hand instead? Also i'm not sure if glueing the dial to the movement is such a good idea. Wouldn't it be better to weld on a new pair of feet to the dial in the correct position?
Good advise. Welding a pair of feet with free hand might have misalignment on minute markers. Their is no issue with gluing a dial on movement with dial dot.
When the crown stem is cutted? Is it still still with thread left? After file it and clean it with rodico, what's the thing to apply before screw in the crown?
After stem is cut, there is still thread left behind which is to he screwed into crown. After cleaning the cut thread with radical, you can apply locktite or thread locker.
Hallo could you help me? I have a spb187 and I tried to remove the bezel itself yesterday. But I ended up scratching the watch. The bezel is too tight and I cannot get under the bezel. Can you give me some tipps or a tool recommendation? Thank you
@@NisokiesNafokies Thank you for your answer. I want to change that crystal and maybe us an dubledome or other crystal with blue ar coating. I saw that you use that generic case (I will use the same) and probably know right size of crystal, that s all.
Hello from Germany, I would like to replicate this watch. Where can I get these exactly parts, especially the blue bezel and the dial thanks for the information
Hi, really enjoyed your video. Superb watch and having found you I've now subscribed. I know you have already answered a question about how much you would charge for this watch, but you're waiting for the dial to become available again. Is it possible for you to let me know when this is the case and how much you estimate it would cost at that stage ?
Sure. I will be posted the dial on sale here on RU-vid community and Facebook page as soon as it is available. Thanks for subscribing to this channel. Feel free to share our videos too. ☺️☺️☺️
@@NisokiesNafokies I see. Do you still provide the dial used in this video? Are you ever getting any spb149 dials again? I've been looking for a few months now, but I can be very patient.
I love this watch and have done a build simular using a blue ceramic bezel however when I pull the crown out to change the time the nh35 movement moves back and appears loose in the case, any tips, have I missed something like a movement holder??
Some of the 40mm generic sub manufacturer use to provide one plastic movement holder with the case set. You will need to install it back if your case came with it, otherwise, there is a little bit of play when you loosen the crown.
Hello, I got a question hope u can help me out, got an seiko sne437p1 I want the same hands as this mod or Rolex hands, what will fit and where I buy? Not seen any modding vids about the sne437 yet
Thanks. We are glad to help you build one but this dial is out of stock at the moment. Please drop us an email at nisokies@gmail.com if you would like to find out the dials that we have in stock at the moment.
