I dont know if you will read this. But I started watch making about 12 months ago, because I saw this video. I absolutely love this build and you inspired me to make my own semi-sucessful channel. Just wanted to say thank you!
That's so awesome! Really cool that one of your videos got 16,000+ views in such a short time (for a channel with under 500 subs). It's only going to go UP from here! Keep up the great work! And thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know! I'm so glad that this video could inspire you to build your own watches and make videos on it! God bless you!
Hi, I just started watching this but let me tell that in advance: This channel offers, by far, the most authentic content and yet, it's the most underrated wristwatch oriented channel on TH-cam. I'm delighted with it! Many thanks from a loyal follower all the way from Turkey, mate. Cheers.
Try wristwatch revival, I think you’ll find he is the king of watch making on TH-cam.
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-!
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
Damaging the case, spring bars fly, messing with endlinks, grease all over...
It's just like I watched myself 😄
Nice work! You got Yourself a new subscriber, Sir 👍
😂😂
LOVE a pilot bezel. Beautiful build once again, good stuff.
The rotor just makes it great from any angle. The stripes are awesome.
I really like that you show all the issues during the build! Thanks!
I don’t usually like this Lego kit watches but this is by far the nicest one I’ve seen. Subbed.
Nice one. Looks stunning.
Another great video Dan . Love your builds 👍
That is one truly immaculate watch case and face. This one is difficult to beat for the definition of the word stunning.
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.
that white with silver, and needle taper polished indicator ,!! what a Gangsta watch ! so classy!
Beautiful watch. Great job. Thanks for showing the difficulties as well as the things that are easy.
Absolutely Stunning.
Loved the look of this at first sight and immediately bought all the parts! Looking forward to building this one! Cheers!
Where can i find that dial??
@@ThisfuturemanI just found one on ebay
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! 🎉
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
Love your channel mate. Good production quality and really nice end products..I've similar tastes in my builds so great to see what others are doing in this space
Hoping for more regular content 👍🏻
This is the best TH-cam watch channel, the one I enjoy the most to say the least!
I ordered the MM300 case from Watch and Style which allows any oem or oem aftermarket bracelet fit. I made mine as a GMT version of your mod using a date only white dial. Thanks for the inspiration!
one of the nicest looking builds i have seen
great job
It looks great. It reminds me of the classic seiko sarb035
Blows my mind that Strapcode doesn't do a 5 link oyster
I used to watch your videos all of the time and I couldn’t find your Chanel until just now. Was worried you’d taken it down it’s a relief to see your still making this top quality content the quality of your videos is awesome
WOW I need this! Better than what Seiko is putting out right now!!!
Before installing the glass, try blackening its side edge with a marker. This will slightly increase the contrast and reduce highlights :)
Great stuff
You are doing awsome job man thanks for sharing 👏🏽
LOL! The best tutorial on TH-cam. Love the transparency and honest build and frustrations something that is happening to all of us. Not only showing how PERFECT everything goes by cropping the video to 10 minutes.
watched the whole video and was surprised that you don't already have 100+ thousand subscribers cause you definitely deserve it. good stuff.
Excellent job👍👍🔥
Love this one, fantastic
Got there in the end! Great content including the fumbles 😄 thanks for sharing subscribed.
Why doesn't this guy have more subs? Great content, wonderfully produced.
Great video and great job!
Beautiful piece id love one excellent work
Superb build! Nice work and a great vid 🔥🔥🔥 atb, Kev
GS is my grail watch, your build looks attainable and the end result amazing. Thanks for showing how to put it together.
I too am a Grand Seiko fan. Look at their sbgw series of watches. Cheaper than most Grand Seikos but with a fantastic 9s64 hand wind movement. Most are well under 5k.
👍👍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.
Great video! Thanks
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.
Another great video!
Beautifull!!!! Keep the nice work brother!
I am very impressed and am now subscribing!
Excellent video, very well captured, faults and all. Thanks, from a new subscriber 👍👏
love that build, been watch collecting along time and changed some movements etc but you have inspired me to build my own starting with this build, i have large wrists shame namoki dont do 40mm plus kits
love ur stuff mate, keep it up!
Great video
You can really tell the difference between an amateur trying and a professional doing it. You gotta start somewhere. Good luck
Detailed chapter ring for sure!
Love this Grand Seiko, wish I had the ability to build one
I'm really new to this and I can't believe I watched the whole thing. Gorgeous build! Wasn't expecting to see an xperia play at all lol
Oooooof that's a nice build sir
Lovely build. I would love to do something similar but with a blue second hand! Terrific work, sir!
I love it! It reminds me of my Seiko SARB!
It does indeed look a lot like a SARB 035...albeit with a downgraded movement.
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.
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.
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.
Nice job. Oh, and I too prefer the detailed chapter ring!
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.
Nice to see I'm not the only one that pulls crowns out with my mouth 😂😂
Haha, yeah. Although I don't do it every time, sometimes its just the most convenient way to do it. 😅
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.
Long Island Watch has the best aftermarket bracelets at a good price.
I would buy one of these if you build it. Great work.
First video I’ve watched of yours, was good thanks. Get yourself a rubber ball for the case backs, no scratches!
best tool for putting straps n pins on is the Bergeon 7767 best £12 quid i spent..great build looks fantastic.
i like to heat watch to 45-degressd after tightened geos a little further tight as with hardlex gasket great vid thanks man
Class.
I’m in love with this GS version you created….can you build another one so I can buy it from you😉… greetings from Germany ✌🏼
so difficult to assembled, youre full of patient dude
Comedy at its best
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.
Nice
Ah wow super pleased I’ve found this channel 👌👌👌
Would love you to build me something like this 👍
Just built my watch with this case and blue dial polished chapter ring bgw9 hands with c3 on ring and markers. But fitting the crystal shifted the chapter ring. Gutted lol
Nice video, have you tried unscrewing the collet on you pinvice? I have one with a smaller chuck if you flip it around.
exited!
Great Job! Hate to say it however I think I like the simple chapter ring better. Maybe if you have a polishing wheel you could add a high polish to the centre links of that Namoi bracelet... could add a little something to it?
excelent job... i think 5 link bracelet & detailed chapter ring is the best, but i really hope there is another case with 40mm dimension for this build, i think mm300 case is too big for GS homage build
I was removing a crown and stem from an nh35 the other day. I was wondering if I was the only person that removes it with their mouth like a cave man. Good stuff man.
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.
I like your channel content Sir. I've made a few builds from e-bay cases. I'm not much into the divers, but one exception would be a "Captain Willard Seiko", but feel as though It might be a bit out of my depth as far as sourcing the right parts etc. Is a Cpt. Williard in your list of Mods of interest? Nice work Mate. good info on your channel.
I like your taste, nevertheless for me this is the most beautiful watch you have build so far. I have made a copy of this one myself. Absolutely stunning. 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.
I have just found your channel after being a watch enthusiast for a few years now. I would love to be able to do this, maybe get a kit for a divers... Do you ever sell the builds you do? Really love your content, no one else comes close to this sort of thing. good, clean, calm manner. Keep it up :)
Thanks very much! I'm glad you're getting some enjoyment from my videos. To answer your question: no I don't sell the builds that I do, I consider myself an amateur at best and wouldn't be comfortable selling my watches for what they're worth if a buyer had issues due to mistakes on my end.
Buen trabajo. Por cierto, el reloj no se pone impidiendo el libre juego de la muñeca. 😉
Great video. Stumbled across your video when looking to find a grand seiko mod. When you scratched the case I felt for you. I’m tempted to maybe make my own grand seiko homage as I don’t think I could afford one. That final strap finishes it off perfectly. Anybody know where to get GS faces? Thanks
Wheres the link for the movement as I looked at links given but couldn’t see it. Thanks
Need to step up now and complete a movement service
The GS SBGA413 was hard to find in stores this last Christmas where I live - they were all bought out.
Thanks for sharing every step ofbyour mod! What would be the overall budget for doing it by ourselves pls?
Amazing work. Do you ever sale any of your builds.
A five link bracelet ala grand Seiko that fits the namoki mm300 case is all I'm waiting for to do my two dream mods.
I've had my eyes on the Namoki gold rotor ever since it came out, I'm tempted to swap my SRPE55's rotor, but I'm not sure I'm up to the task.
ARR So the dials are seconds, yea ? I see their is a chip at 12 on the black dial too.. hope you share the place to get S dials. I may go for one of these. sure looks sweet. be nice if you could get the GS sweeping movements no.. subbed up lad...
Great work champ! Do you ever sell any of your mods ? Do you recommend a place?
looks like a SARB!
Superb build
It dont think it was what you were going for, but: I believe this in an SRPE case would be really nice
The chapter ring options for that one are limited though
Couldn't find a white one at all, had to paint my own
"Every single build I do has a mistake on it !!"
The very same for me 😅😅😅😅
Very nice choice with case & dial by the way.
I'm also agree with the 5 links bracelet, namoki and the others parts seller have to build their own.
Where did you find the cheap one you got ?
I'm actually pretty sure I found this exact five link bracelet on AliX and ordered it to go with a Seiko 5 I'm planning to mod
Hi,
What bracelet is on the watch you are wearing in the video, is it a Jubilee of some kind and where did you buy it from ?
Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
