I built myself one. Bought a seestern 62mas replica and ordered the right dial from aliexpress. If you got a basic watch tool set it's an easy switch. Now my seestern looks like a legit seiko reissue. It looks like a 1k watch now and it looks so good it is a keeper.
Superb video and gorgeous watch Russell, I love the clip with the owl noise when you insert it! I missed the show Sunday so need to catch up ! Cheers Dale
I have my dads original 62 Mas which is in a very good condition. He bought it 1967 I think. The one you presented is very similar and nice I have to say, even if it is not 39mm (perfect size for me). It would have even been better without the x mark I think. Enjoy swimming with it ! Mine does not like the rain...too old ! but it's OK. This is my favourite watch, which reminds me the good times with my dad.
Yes! I’ve been really looking forward to hearing about this one! What an awesome job Brandon did with this build! I’ve been hankering after a white dial diver for a while and haven’t found one for a price that works for me, might have to give Case & Dial a message when the time is right 🤔 Phenomenal show as always MWC 👏👏👏👏 Extra special shout out to the music you used in the intro too! Instant nostalgia overload!
Hi just would like to share that i have manged to get my self a Vostok Classica 690B21and it took some finding .An absolute stunner(made my year) :-) Great video as always.
Kudos to another well made and entertaining video! I wish they can make one that is a wee bit smaller and closer to the orginal case size... like 38-39mm and a shorter lug to lug.
@@johnmuthan286 Thanks John. Saw the Fifty-Four Homage reviews before, they are great looking. But I don’t think they offer a sunburst grey dial like the 62 MAS. Well, we watch nuts are just plain OCD when looking for our “ideal watch”. 😁
@@Renhaolu I think they do now :) like 2 different shades of grey (dark or silver sunburst) and either flat or boxed saphir from what I can recall from their Facebook page .... Unfortunately can't confirm today
Glad you like it, it looks cool. Think I would have removed some text from the dial if I was going full on mod mode. But as you say that strapoholjc will keep you busy for quite some time and at half the price you can’t go wrong!
Fun video. I built my own 62 MAS using parts off eBay. Someone is selling the Heimdallr 62 MAS case separately. I used a black date ring NH35 with a Mil-Spec dial and sword hands. For just a little splash of color a red seconds hand.
That sounds D🔥PE. I've got some swords for my Steeldive SD1953 (Sub clomage, Starbucks colorway), a watch that I love except for the "classic" ☮️ 👑 handset. I really dislike those hands. I just got 'em bc I like the swords on my Orient Mako II's, then found out about the Rolex Milspec and it sorta blew my mind. Trying to work up the confidence to try a hand swap myself 😰
Great show. And now ...........? Your dream came true ........... Tic, tic, tic, tic, tic, ......... Let's find another watch !!! 😁😁😁 One small suggestion - the date background in black with a white number? Tropic black strap is the winner !!! Love your show !!!
Looks super nice! With that tropic & nato. I just got my 2018 issue Glycine Airman purist 36mm in & enjoying. Nothing like another addition to our watch collection family ⏱
Like u read my mind.....for last week I'm searching modders for 62mas custom work lol....how's the bezel alignment? On the strap part seems to be a click off
Thank you for a fun, fact filled video. Love your style of filming, great macros, superb straps, accurate information and a while kit of fun. Subscribed.
Fair play on the build! My only put off is the stand out lume pip on the bezel. Also two of they features of the original is the diashield tint of the case and the bezel insert.
Well that was my choice my friend on the bezel, I think a better lume pip would’ve been sunken into the ceramic insert. But I loved it popping out of the aluminium !!; if you look at my SPB 143 show and MACRO shots I just think it was a way of finding it easier to part with the high amount of cash. Granted I really like the more gun metal look but the added protection it gives…. I’m not so sure;) one thing I did love was the brushed steel insert on the 143! Very cool!! Thanks for watching my friend
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Cheers for the reply! All in all the watch is a fantastic build. The protection level the case hardening offers is somewhat questionable, not knowing the scale of hardness and the potential difference between stainless. You are right there! I do support your choice in regards to aluminium, looks more authentic to its 62mas heritage. The protruding lume pip is my personal bedbug depending on execution. The channel is ace! Keep it up ;)
One thing that really adds class to the original is the polished chamfered edge of the case between the top and sides. Only Seestern does that with their homage, afaik, though it's a smaller chamfer.
I agree if I am worried about power reserve I’ll get a quartz. I think 40 hours reserve is plenty for me. I have never had one stop while wearing. The NH35 is bulletproof and cheap to replace. I have many builds all are NH35 or 36 builds different cases and dials.
Let’s get a bezzlin!!😂 Keep up the good work MWC!! Looks really cool and a great work around for those going for the same look as theSPB143/62 MAS for less money - like some of the other comments on here, I do wonder what category “custom” watches made from various after market components but with genuine dials fall into - this one is clearly not a genuine Seiko….as long as you’re happy with it who cares I guess!!👍
The Seiko 6R35 is a superior movement to the NH35, its better finished as well as the 70hrs power reserve compared to 41hrs. You can pick up a secondhand SPB now (without metal strap) for what you paid for that fraken watch. Your viewers need also to remember the fraken watch value will tank on the secondhand market because its effectively a fake. My advice would be to buy a Seestern if you want a good quality inexpensive 62MAS homage that will also hold its value better than any fraken watch.
You’ve seen 2/3 videos of mine and now you think I’m Jesus!!!!!???? Wow what a testimonial Fmart! I’m gonna get on the phone to mum and tell her I’ve made it!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!
He did a great job on that watch can hardly tell the difference between the original. My only gripe and there's always one of course is the plain case back .apart from that it's great. Great vids keep em coming.carl from cov.
I dare say I could’ve got a more decorative caseback my friend! ;) I could have that personalised later I suppose ! I wonder what the caseback of a 62 MAS looks like? Does it have the Seiko wave on it?
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR just had a look on youtube yours looks (from the front)identical to the reissue, the case back has the small round embossed tsunami wave as on all seiko divers. Hope I haven't ruined your day still it's a great time piece for the money its identical. All the best.
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR just looked it up on google images it had a real bad image of a dolphin on the back with seiko written around it.all the best glad I made you laugh.
Hey just a quick one, I have similar build on namoki case, do you know by any chance where to get a bracelet that would fit? I asked Namoki but they said due to shape of lug widths it cannot have a bracelet.
Wonderful video, Russel. Having watched several reviews of the SPB your impressions seem to be shared by others. If you don't mind me asking, however, given your take on homages (not a fan) why do you see a custom build as being different?
Love the 62 más and have the same San Martín and have thought about getting original Dial and hands, quick change over then onto a waffle strap and same end result for even less. Plus San Martín have great QC.
Good question Sam! So firstly this build wasn’t already made being sold as a Seiko Homage. 12 components picked to then be put together including an original SPB DIAL and an NH35 . To me it’s a Seiko Sam, it’s not a Pagani looking like a Seiko ;) I think the word ‘custom’ says it all. It’s unique(ish) to me . I quite like that idea
@@drdesign6886 good points here buddy. We are doing a live show on Sunday on the build. Think I’ll discuss it a bit more then but your right! I’m crossing a line and feel good about it()
Sorry. I cant see Brandon's link in the description. Don't know why I cant see it. If u have time, can u paste it into the comments. Lovely watch. I want to order one. Cheers.
Speaking of nice bezels; my Oceanus OCWP2000 has the most beautiful bezel I have ever seen. Saphire insert as well 😉 I'd be happy to send it to you for a review my friend..
Great review. You keep the watch collecting and hobby fun. Keep up the great work. Why no metal bracelets only straps? I like how you call it professional looking. That's one of the reasons why I like the Casio World Time gold or bronze watch.
@@user-pi6vz5hr3c I think it’s 2 of 5 of these SPB’s That came with a bracelet . If that dial version did not have a bracelet and came with the tropic I think I may have already had one in the collection ;)
Namoki & Crystaltimes both rule. Speaking from personal experience; great selection & CS. I also like DLW (esp. for retro Bakelite and "glass" sapphirel bezel inserts). Awesome upload, awesome build. 1💛💛%
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR They're like pringles once you pop you can't stop, 😆 the cool thing is ( and this is not to encourage anyone) if you can dream it and find the parts chances are it can be built! But be fair warned Seiko parts aren't cheep but you will endup with something of your own.
Hahahahaha great point my friend! No don’t do it!!!!! I guess it could be a homage of a homage?;) if I’m not trying to pass off this as an SPB143 nor am I selling them in the bucket load I feel comfortable with that! It’s a custom build made for me that is pretty much the same spec without the diacoat steel and brushed steel bezel insert . Thanks for watching my friend!!
Great purchase, entertaining as always, would be awsome for a collaboration with Colinfurze the mad engineer he's nuts, never seen him wear a watch though but some mad inventions
Im right in between picking up a spb143 ...your "niggles" about the watch are exactly how I feel about it ... after all its $1000. Here is my thing...isn't the answer to not wanting to pay the cost of a genuine product always going to be buying a replica? Ethically how is this any different then snagging one from China even cheaper? Should I save myself $500 or get the real thing on principle? Great discussion excellent video as always..Cheers
man that crown is huge though...i reckon it may have the same issues as the Armida version that had that same big crown, where it can dig into your hand when you bend
if you wear the watch behind the wrist bone (like it's sadly used to: watch stays under the cuff all the time and always peeks out, if you want to read the time. in those times back in the day you never wanted to show others what watch you are wearing. understatement was key), you'll never have issues with the crown digging into the hand......
One thing I was thinking, and maybe you can ask Brandon... could he remove some of the print, maybe with alcohol? I think removing the prospex X would take it to the next level.
Yes, I think you're bonkers but I like your videos ! Keep them coming. I'm a low to mid-range budget guy. No high-end stuff for me. Don't want to be forced to choose between the mortgage and a watch !
Thanks for shoutout mate! Glad I was able to bring some business Brandon’s way. He’s a top guy! Congrats on the new Seiko my friend.

man that crown is huge though...i reckon it may have the same issues as the Armida version that had that same big crown, where it can dig into your hand when you bend
Hahahaha I don’t think I’ll have a problem with this beautiful crown my friend .
if you wear the watch behind the wrist bone (like it's sadly used to: watch stays under the cuff all the time and always peeks out, if you want to read the time. in those times back in the day you never wanted to show others what watch you are wearing. understatement was key), you'll never have issues with the crown digging into the hand......
I built myself something almost exactly like that!
Fantastic my friend!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR however I also own the SPB and I love it as much as, if not more than the custom build
came in 9th... hmm... but then again the competition was pretty stiff... nice review on that build.
One thing I was thinking, and maybe you can ask Brandon... could he remove some of the print, maybe with alcohol? I think removing the prospex X would take it to the next level.
Good point Glynn! I’ll remember this! That dial was £95
Yes, I think you're bonkers but I like your videos ! Keep them coming. I'm a low to mid-range budget guy. No high-end stuff for me. Don't want to be forced to choose between the mortgage and a watch !
Hahahaha thanks for watching my friend! I’m with you!
Great content, been looking to buy a modded Seiko. Does anyone have a link to Brandon's store/contact details? Mucho thanks!
Damn looks good!
Cheers Frank!
Very creative video.
Cheers Denis
You're the best!!!
No Carlos! You are my friend! Thanks for watching!
so you dont think the 62 movement is worth the money? what movement would be worth that money?
It’s the same beat rate as a hundred bucks Seiko. That grinds my gears!;)
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR so what is the best movement for that money I can understand that I didnt realize that
@@natesportsfanatic4670 selitta sw200 is a great one my friend. ETA 2824. SEIKO’s equivalent is the 8L35 I think but it’s in very expensive Seiko’s
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR is the movement in the spb156 any good i believe its r36 idk i know tjere is a r 6 in there somewhere lol
