I watched your video from beginning to end and it was really refreshing to see the struggles and things that go wrong with a mod. I started modding about 8 months ago and I curse and swear with every build lol. Watch turned out sick good! 🎉

@jaytpaul 11 месяцев назад

So clean... these are the exact design decisions I'd go with for my dream watch. If this look could be achieved in a 39mm case, closer to ~10mm case thickness, I would instantly buy everything required to make it myself

Also on shiny new stuff I always use one side of a plastic bag between the tool and bezel, you never scratch them. I have been doing this as a hobby for 20 years and thought I would pass on some tips I have picked up over the years.

Love your videos g. I got into this hobby when I watched your earlier SKX builds and have been watching and building ever since. I appreciate how you always include your mistakes and issues as I learned a lot from them. Watch building is never smooth sailing unless your an experienced watch maker but the challenge makes the hobby all the more fun.

@yambo59 5 месяцев назад

Sadly that press has way too much frame flex at the base mounts to maintain a straight push, you can see it flex when he uses it. Regardless what an amazing classy looking watch, immaculate-!

@johnafsoc8929 4 месяца назад

I thought the same thing. No wonder the bezel and crystal press were off. The head rotated backward when pressure was applied and loaded against the watch

@dropin324 Месяц назад

You can see the flex really well at 24:05 when pressure is released after the bezel is successfully installed. Agreed - stunning watch build.

@josephgiannantonio6275 Месяц назад

If it didn't flex so much it would have I stalled the crystal and bezel without him having 2 overnighten it so much.

@puddysbrother664 Месяц назад

I had the same problem with the same tool. I found a washer-shaped spacer just thick enough to fill the gap underneath where they left room for a watch strap (bad idea). Much better.

That turned out great! A little big for my wrist but there is definitely a vintage grand seiko vibe. I'm also building a vintage king/grand seiko day date homage but with a 36mm oyster case, black dial and lumed indicies and hands with red second hand. Just waiting for the parts, similar anticipation.

@rickr9055 Год назад

@clark3830 Год назад

WOW, I wish I had the money to make watches like this. Classy and you have it. I am jealous every time I watch you build one. Makes me wish I was not old and retired but young like you again. Absolutely beautiful. By the way, the 5105 Vietnam watch reminded me of my time there in 1970-72. PS: New builders should see that that is a double lock stem winder like Rolex makes. Again, you are amazing and the choices of builds are different and great. Do a GS snowflake dial sometime. I may not be able to afford to build them, but I can see them come together on here. Nice mate.

@andre-dx4yw Год назад

33:30 much love me dude, so goes amateur watch building. I do the same and try to learn from each flub! Also, I too had trouble fitting a Namoki bracelet, the Presidential (5 link!), to an OE Seiko SRPD case, couldn’t use the supplied far spring bars. Now that I’ve had it on for a while, it was easier to remove and reinstall, but has worn down my case.

Just received the Seestern S446 GMT in the mail yesterday. Terrific watch. Very close homage to the Grand Seiko SBGM221 GMT. I went for the dark gray (black) dial with red GMT hand. Uses the NH34 GMT mov't.

@1Raphael Год назад

👍👍really nice watch.. You really got to invest in better tools tho to help with ur builds. you'll have a way better turnout, not having to worry about scratching. My heart drop when I saw you scratch that case back and case I think I was screaming with you. Oooo NO. And remember take your time, don't rush a build. it's got to be hard enough filming all this and trying to build the watch my hat goes off to you.

@doghouseriley4732 5 месяцев назад

Love this Grand Seiko, wish I had the ability to build one

@elijahdaves1305 3 месяца назад

A hack for getting in the pins when they are misaligned like this is to use one of those flossers that has a short section of floss between forked plastic. Use the floss section to push the rod in the way you want it to go. Once it goes, in, you'll have to cut the floss to get it out as it usually binds. I did it like you for an hour until I used that and it took 5 seconds.

@rbmwiv Год назад

Awesome build, I have been wanting to do something similar. I just built a Pressage homage, I was able to get a Pressage dial so it looks real until you see a nh35 in it. But I built it to wear.

@ItsAnotherWatch Год назад

Haha, yeah. Although I don't do it every time, sometimes its just the most convenient way to do it. 😅

@clark3830 Год назад

Always use a sheet of plastic to protect parts when screwing down backs etc. it is a must from what I have seen. Also, I noticed from watching Rolex bracelets being sized; they always size them with the clasp adjusted in as long as it can be. This way you have more length to adjust out later without looking for extra links. Makes sense to me. Use the tweezers pin removers to put pins in case and you wont scratch them taking pins in and out. Just a FYI.

I do a bit of fanagling myself and it was comforting to see its not just me who gets into trouble with this wonderful hobby. I'm about to start my own GS homage with aliexpress sourced parts. I'll video it with my phone, so not to your standard but perhaps it'll be of some help to others.

There is just one thing that drives me absolutely crazy. Depending on the angle I look at the dial the chapter ring looks either perfectly aligned or slightly off.

Williard in your list of Mods of interest? Nice work Mate. good info on your channel.

@frankschroth4038 Год назад

Now I'm absolutely no fan of Seiko , but this build is truly a stunner!!! But my watchmaker eyes where in tears when I had to watch you raping the case and other parts due to the cheapest tools one can buy ! Did it ever cross your mind that a piece of fine sandpaper would have done the trick of fitting the namoki endlink ? Oh, and IMH the watch looks best on that dark brown crocodile leather strap ! But again a very beautiful watch! Mfg Frank S.
