Hi there and welcome!
This my channel SW Watchmods.
My name is Shingy and SW Watchmods is a channel that lets me share my new-found love of watch-modding with others.
Hey I'm just an ordinary guy trying to get by in the world and I live in Scotland, in the U.K. I love watch-modding and specialise, for now, at working with Seiko watches.
I'm very open to enquiries and general chat about all things modding and Seiko.

Review: Budget Crystal Presses - Lever Press vs Screw Press
In a "Take 2" from the first video, SW Watchmods compares the two most common types of budget crystal (and bezel) press. The lever press versus the screw mechanism-type of press. Note, this review is concerned with ** budget ** (value) versions of these presses which typically range from 16 GBP to approximately 60 GBP mark. Hopefully the second take of this review comes across as a sharper, to-the-point review of the two presses.

Tutorial - How to cut and fit a new crown and stem for your SKX
มุมมอง 16K4 ปีที่แล้ว
SW Watchmods gives a hobbyist's tutorial on how a new winding crown and stem is cut and fitted. A nice member of the public was struggling to find something similar and I wanted to be helpful :) - Helpful comments and advice welcomed freely! Info: A 4R36 / NH36 crown and stem combined typically measures 22mm Because I am paranoid I will initially cut a stem a little longer than I need by 2mm (S...
the press to take off the crystal??? what are you talking about?? that is to puck the backcap back on the watch. une a flat screw driver or a spetial knife to take the plate off.
Great video man, I will attempt this now 😮
Hi, what is the new, sprung crown's diameter? Is it 6, 6.5, or 7 millimetres?
I paid 3 bucks on one from china with shipping and pieces worked fine for my new saphire glass
Hola buenas tardes, que lástima que no sigas haciendo más videos. Tienes otro canal, gracias
Very informative video. What would we do with out you tubers like you.👍
Super helpful
I wonder what you mean by "crystal."
The crystal is the glass on the face of the watch.
@@catherineostrom7575 how can you use a press to take the glass OFF lol I dont get it.
I had a cheap lever style. I bought a sapphire Crystal for my seiko turtle and unfortunately due to the curve of the case I couldn’t get the case to sit flat and still while I pressed down. As soon as I thought I had it, the handle broke and my Crystal is ever so slightly crooked in the case. My hand pressed into the broken metal and caused a scratch in my hand that drew blood. Lol. It’s only by a millimeter but it bothers me because I’m trying to be as precise as possible with my modding. I threw it away and will probably end up getting a screw down version for a slow and steady pressing action.
Just tried to fit my first glass: It cracked😢
Could you make a video about the size of cases, chapter rings, movements and dials? Can be little tricky to figure out as a newbie
Goodvideo
You failed to demonstrate the action in each. You basically just stood in front of the camera and ran your mouth. Didn't learn anything from this. Thumb down.
damn dude its pretty clear from looking at each thing how it works
Less chincese movements and fakes we need not your bloody help on how to repair them
What is the make of the red screw in one?
This really helped, Thank you.
Very useful! Thanks.
Going to be attempting this next week so many thanks for the video 👍
Thank you for making such an informative video! Excellent details.
U can use a drill press if u have one...just saying...
im like 100, i am very cool
Excellent and thank you for this. I will follow you 👍
If one orders a new factory crown and stem,is the stem glued to the crown?
Great tutorial. Thank You!
Buy a good Seiko made crystal press.
Where u get one
I can’t find any for sale.
Having bought and used the budget lever type, I can say that they are terrible. Mine had the brass screw in inserts and basically pushed the brass threaded collet through the front of the crystal. Bang, broken a new crystal. Best place for these is in the recycle bin.
Just ordered my pin vice and thanks again for the very informative videos much appreciated.
Hi ja just watched your video very informative could you possibly send link to where you purchased both of your presses as im just starting out in modding many thanks Andy Q
Hi Andrew, the lever came from Cousins UK... And the screw came from amazon. You can get them both from Cousins though. Their budget range is very reliable.
@@swmods5058 Thanks for the info 👍
