Holy crap I'm strangely totally stoked to try it! This is the start of something... GENTS AS AN OLD GUY LET ME OFFER SOME ADVICE TO THE YOUNG MARRIED GUYS... BUILD ONE FOR HER AT THE SAME TIME YOU BUILD ONE FOR YOURSELF...HIS AND HERS. You will then be on your way
@@caligoola just practice endlessly on cheap watches… after a couple months or whenever your able to consistently get those results you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t touch my watches either unless they needed service but never ever just to get practice. My first tip is to make sure you have all of the right tools, go to a watchmaker and see all of the stuff they have to give you some good ideas.
Just have a little micro vacuum running next to it when putting the movement back in the case. It worked for me. 😊 … The third time I tried it. 😂 Lesson learned.
Marcus.. It's honestly so unbelievable that I've found a channel here on TH-cam that with every single video catches my interests. As one can most likely see, I'm totally into watches, but also EDC, health, life organization, gadgets, etc. I've also lost a lot of weight and got fit, and I even have a software engineering background. Love your positive mindset. Please never stop!
OK, Marcus - this video has me now excited to build my own watch. What a fantastic way to not only enjoy a sweet looking timepiece but to learn all the innerworkings and then wearing it with pride. Friggin awesome. Really appreciate your inspiration. Cheers.
@@MarcusCreates how accurate was the watch? I've bought cheap watches from that part of the world and they would go minutes out a day so you have to constantly adjust them
this is actually sucha fantastic idea. Tip for lubricating gaskets (o-rings): most lubricants come with a bit of foam on the lid too, and if you put the gasket in and the lid back on, you can twist the lid so it applies an even coating of lubricant onto the gasket that's not too thick. I do hope you get into building more watches and hopefully repairing them.
When putting on the hand set, I would have kept the crown in the time-setting position so you could align them all at the 12 without them ticking away out from under you like we saw with the seconds hand.
@maximiliandegarnerinvonmon6457 yep but he was kind enough to film this for us; letting us see what's necessary to perform this surgery. I think he did marvelous; we are all in our own lane at our own speed... I think we all know what kinda driver you are 🎉
Take a look at the following two channels as well: Just Another Watch, and Lume shot (especially his stealth two-tone & bloodmoon videos are 👍) Those two guys make phenomenal watch building videos too.
Such a nice a clean build, watch making is so relaxing and you can make a beautiful unique timepiece in the end. Just a little tip when putting the hands on, when you make your date wheel tick over to 12am i wouldn't push the key less works back in, because the time keeps ticking and when you set your hands to 12 it may be 10 minutes past 12 or however long it took you to put your hands on, happy watch making and very impressive time piece 😊
@@MarcusCreates I loved the look of the other watch you showed a few times in the video with that white dial, do you have a link for that dial that I can use on my own watch?
I’ve built and modified a few watches now. For assembling the hands, I found a trick that helped me greatly. I use some rodico to hold the hands and align them, then I can press the hands on. For the seconds hand, I get right down to eye level with the movement where I can see the seconds pinion, then pressing it on becomes much easier.
I've just recently discovered your channel with the travel edc video and a friend just sent me this. Perfect timing for me as I've literally ordered watch parts just two days ago. I also love the relaxed music in the background, I think that together with your voice made this so enjoyable to watch.
Quick handy tip. Have a new sheet of A4 paper or even A5 as a work mat. Can stick it to the desk if you want to. Good for seeing small items and also you can wipe crap on it if you need to.
@@MarcusCreates kind of. Worked in a prestige jewellers for many years. We had an old watchmaker in the shop. He was ridiculously clever. He escaped Yugoslavia during WW2 and learned watchmaking when he came to the UK. I would often be searching around on the floor for something so tiny… the old dustpan and brush and a strong magnet was a life saver lol. Titanium tweezers too. He had a lathe so small he could hand make parts- like the stems for the crown to fit onto. Bergeon watch tools were his favourite. I learned so much from him, not how to hand make parts though unfortunately 😂😂 This is a great video, and a really cool idea. I used to have a Rolex like yours too. Stupidly sold it some years ago 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I’ll hopefully have one again one day. 👍🏻 More tips would be- 3x Eyeglass. Have your chair very low so your armpits rest on the desk. You did really well here btw. Thanks. Sorry for the life story. Just bought back such fond memories.
Thank you so much for this very informative and graphic teaching tool. It's nice to see someone who actually shows how as well as describing it. The only bit of advice I would give you is to test rotate each hand when you put them in. The points can sometimes obstruct the hands and you may need to bend them slightly. Beautiful bespoke watch btw, very impressive.
For a watch officiaonado I appreciate your humility; sometimes we all learn new things together.... Thanks for forging ahead of us; and your top notch production quality, 👌 this is a great channel idea 💡 my friend 🧡 Subbed.....
When you are pushing the movement rod back in the watch after the re assembly press the rod release while putting the rod back it will make the assembly easy or els it might mess the movement for sure ,I believe it have done a number in this movement already as I see. Just a advise, and I love your work
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the MAMACOO, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on *amzwatch* 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Great video, very on topic for me since, 1. My EDC is also a Submariner, 2. I am just now "designing" my own GMT by adding to a shoppingcart at AliExpress. And since you literary ask for it, I gonna offer you the thought I got about your execution. You call the case a "classic Seiko case", from my POV that is the classic Submariner case, the Classic Seikos has the Crown at 4 o'clock and the screwdown crown has a distinctly other look. To your point the caseback is Seiko style, the Sub as you know is very plain. You did a really nice job finding the date shift by turning the crown wheel really slow until date flipped over but after that you push in the crown with that starting the watch and with that distorting the great job done making the minute hand move while setting up hourhand. But othervise, really loved the video! Keep up the good work, I just started to follow your channel!
that inflatable ball is really a discovery, I thought the wrench is the only way to go about opening watches and was going to order one. But obviously the ball is gentler option
What a well made video! I also do these builds, just for friends and it's amazing the attention the watches command as they look like qaulity pieces and feel like it too. I'm about 10 watches built now and im looking at using other platfroms like the NH34GMT and Seagull movements for some veriety
When you have the dial and hands done, place the case over the watch then flip the movement holder. I've watched some pros do that, and it's worked great for me. Wish you would have shown the watch after it was done. It's a 62 mas style right?
I wish I could take credit for this tip but I saw a video of it. Place a tiny bit of rodico on the end of a hand pusher and pick up the seconds hand from the top of the hand. Now you have nice control of the hand and much easier to place on the pinion. I spent about a half hour on my first seconds hand and about 3 minutes the next time. 👍
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from AMZWATCH
Nice to see you build a watch. It really needs a chapter ring though. I've built quite a few watches, usually just ideas on what I think would make a nice watch. I only use Seiko branded dials if I'm modifying an actual Seiko. If I'm building one from just parts off AliX I don't like to have Seiko on the dial, even if I'm using a Seiko/SII movement.
Thanks for the tips! I didn’t even know there was such as thing as a chapter ring until after I made this and a couple of folks mentioned it. I might add one.
When you order your movement, the specs should say the size of the hour/minute/second hand posts. This will help you choose the right hand setting tool size. Also, a piece of rodico watch cleaning putty is good for removing dust specs, fingerprints, smudges, and for holding hands without scratching like tweezers can do.
Hello dear watch mod enthusiasts in the comments! I am very interested in building a watch myself too, but I have a couple questions I would appreciate finding answers to: 1. Is there any other case and bracelet that would not look mainstream/homage (not something you look at and think "Seiko", "Rolex", etc) for the NH35 movement? Or at least something less recognizable? 2. Is there any good dial for this particular movement that would feature an open-heart design/somewhat hollowed-out (and would it look right on this one if so)? Thank you in advance and best regards to the uploader of this amazing video as well!
Don't stick your finger in the gasket lube. Don't place the new gasket on the table. Even if it hasn't been lubed yet tiny particles will contaminate the gasket. Someone already mentioned to use threadlocker on the crown. I'd use blue. I'd also suggest you get Rodico for cleaning specks of dust off the dial, crystal and movement. A blower doesn't necessarily remove particles.
Well done all you need now is a Jewelers Eye Loupe Loop Magnifier Monocular makes them small things easy to see when installing hands. Also using a little rodico to hold the hands. It is a brilliant cleaner. Did not see how you used the Oring lube. Bit there should be a soft material in the lid you drop the ring in put the lid on and tighten it then you have an even amount all over the ring. some good plastic pointed tweezers come in very handy. Next time you may like to get a watch dial with no name on it. You can get the letters to put your own name on it or you can buy with the name already on it. So well done keep it up. But let's be honest here People out there. The video is 18: 06 minutes long. But people it is not that short of a job.
amazing work and result! seriously looking into a mas62 as i find its the best looking diver of all time! may i ask what water resistance you can get with this build?
I was a full-time student. I just graduated and I’m looking to get into grad school so I don’t have much funds. So I just might try this out and hopefully get it right. I would really like a nice watch, but I just can’t afford it right now. But this might be possible. Thanks for the helpful video.
Just stumbled across your channel i can appreciate a diy lol why buy it when you can build it is my motto 😂 also Mr marcus that last watch you showed with the open back is just incredibly beautiful. If i cant build it Can you build me one. Do a link for all the parts would love to have one of my own
absolutely inspiring I think this is my next hobby! so question on these DIY watch builds with automatic movement. When the movement stops working...do you just replace it? My hesitation with any automatic movement is that over time service costs far outpace the value of the watch itself...
Hi Marcus what a good video you made! I would like to know if you have an aliexpress link for the special watch nipper and by the way the link for the watch face doesn't work. Thanx for answering in advance
Hi Marcus, Thats so awesome! Ill Look that Video and Wont do that! My ali cart had now many Watch Parts. Now ill must find my First Perfect Match. Thanks and greets from Germany Marcus
Love you content thank you so much for all your videos. But that one is different, it is both exciting and relaxing to watch :) thanks a lot. I got one question though, is it legal to assemble a Seiko like watch ?
i feel so much better that my *amzwatch* watch is so high quality that even the authorised dealer had trouble tellling the difference. I feel its truly worth the money.
Holy crap I'm strangely totally stoked to try it! This is the start of something... GENTS AS AN OLD GUY LET ME OFFER SOME ADVICE TO THE YOUNG MARRIED GUYS... BUILD ONE FOR HER AT THE SAME TIME YOU BUILD ONE FOR YOURSELF...HIS AND HERS. You will then be on your way
I don't know that many girls into Seiko Divers watches. They're pretty big.
Great advice, Sir.
Thank you for you words, I was going to order parts for my watch, but will add also a watch for my significant other!
It’s not hard to get a watch together, but getting a watch together without any marks or dust on the dial, crystal and hands is Not easy.
That's literally why I never wanna take apart my watches 😭😭😭😭

I've done this a couple of times already, and it is very satisfying! Also, those seiko dials are genuine. The next movement i recommend is an ETA

That's quite interesting!
Some pretty unique and fun dial/hand combinations on Ali. I think I’m going to try this out. Thanks Marcus.
what an awesome build. those hand pushers correspond to the hands but I have yet to figure out which pusher goes to which hand. I use feel as well.
I wish they were labeled
@@MarcusCreates I was going to be all fancy and tell you which pusher goes to which hand, but I couldn't find the info.

If I was to critique anything it would be the out of focus shots.
Yeah I get it. It’s really hard to shoot something like this. Everything is so tiny.
I am going to try this in the summer. This is a nice EDC DIY. Watches are the second EDC, knife/weapon is first..
Have fun!

When you order your movement, the specs should say the size of the hour/minute/second hand posts. This will help you choose the right hand setting tool size.

Hi thanks for the informational video. I am buying the parts for my watch and was wondering if the black O ring came with the case and what size is it
Yep. The black O-Ring came with the case
Thank you for responding
Looks good - how or where can I find out which components go together?
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of AMZWATCH's watch 99% of people will never see.
You made it look so easy. now i want make one myself :))
Nice build! I’d say a 100,- is a bit tight looking at the parts on Ali right now, I’d say it would go more towards 150,-, but still great value there!
You gained a subscription! This video is crazy, I expected at least 2 million subs! I've discovered a fellow Johnny Cash fan too!

Nice build. I wouldn't use a watch face with a logo on it though. Makes the watch feel fake for me.
Makes sense. I agree and am probably going to change mine. It doesn’t actually say it has a fake logo on it on the listing.
Great video !!!! Can you kindly post links for the parts and tools you used please ? Thanks

@@MarcusCreates I appreciate you replying. However, I don't see a link in the description.
Great video really enjoyed it. Do you have a build list of what and where to purchase parts from?

This is awesome! I am definitely doing this. Btw I’m the same way, give me an Explorer and submariner and I don’t need any other watches
I’m actually shopping for a dress watch at the moment. 11 o’clock fell off my old one… Very cool post!
Give it a go. I found it to be lots of fun.
The dial repair would be easier than buying a whole new watch.
Should use lock tight on the stem and crown
@@markcoffman494 I’m going to try! My old one was a cheapo Fossil but I’ll take it apart when I have some time :)
@@MarcusCreates this video definitely makes me think I could do it! Well timed :D
man, you made an awesome watch
Thanks
Hi Marcus what a good video you made! I would like to know if you have an aliexpress link for the special watch nipper and by the way the link for the watch face doesn't work. Thanx for answering in advance
Hi Marcus,

Love you content thank you so much for all your videos.
But that one is different, it is both exciting and relaxing to watch :) thanks a lot.
I got one question though, is it legal to assemble a Seiko like watch ?
Thank you so much! It’s all Seiko parts from AliExpress. Seiko NH35 movement etc. I have changed the watch face now.
Go job on the watch build.
Hey, loved the video, i find the part of cutting the crown a bit hard to do myself, where did you buy that measurement equipment?
It’s just a calipers. You’ll get one for $20 in any hardware store
i feel so much better that my *amzwatch* watch is so high quality that even the authorised dealer had trouble tellling the difference. I feel its truly worth the money.
Great video, thank you
Really nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Sean Penn!
Dude its a beauty. Ahem、 that Artem strap makes that watch ... the extra $85 is worth it.
