Wow, I really LOVE your videos! Watched all of them and every one of then is just amazing! The music, the narrating, and of course, the modding and end results are pure awesomeness. Looking forward for more content of yours 🙏👌
Your content and production value are already unbelievably great. I'm shocked by how you have so few subs. I love how you showing all the failures so we can learn with you. It is rare and valuable thing. Thanks for great and unique videos.
I'm revisiting this video from time to time to see that beautiful mod once again. It aged well, one of the absolutely best seikomods out there without a doubt. It doesn't look exactly like the planet ocean, and somehow doesn't look like skx either. And that's great! It Is ANOTHER Watch, exactly as channel name stated! One day I will build myself something inspired by your Atlantis, it's too good.
I enjoyed your mod video, mister Dan, congrats for the SKX Atlantis! But if you thought setting those hands with proper spacing was rather difficult, wait until u build on an eta2824. As for your alignment problem, I would suggest trying with a different set of hands. All these aftermarket parts are not exactly the same quality as stock parts. I prefer LuciusAtelier (better quality and better lume) hands for my projects.
Hellooooo, I am brand spanky new to your channel and I have to say it's a belter. I have long been interested in watches, particularly Seiko brands, and have long enjoyed the excellent content from the many TH-cam channels available. Recently one of these broached the subject of building your own, and he had previously partaken in small modding projects. Long story short - caught your content and wow, I'm loving your work and particularly the Atlantis. As I am new to the modding arena and have dipped my toe in so far as to google parts on the likes of Aliexpress, I would highlight that much confusion abounds regarding parts selection, comparability and outlets to get exactly what I want - like the original Seiko parts that you source. Would it be possible to do one show where you lead the 'nubes' by the proverbial and step it down a gear for clarity. With the Atlantis in mind I would love to see a 'Nemo' dial instead. Is this possible? I hope I'm not the only one that is in this position and would benefit. Keep up the exceptional work.
I agree about the confusion when it comes to sourcing parts. I still have trouble getting the dials I want. Fortunately in recent times there are more sellers on AliExpress who are getting in legitimate OEM dials for decent prices, and of course I did get a few of my OEM dials from Watch Parts Plaza as well as a couple on eBay. Honestly there's not much to tell, procuring OEM parts can be frustrating and illusive no matter how long one has been modding for. Unless you have a jeweller who is able to straight up order dials from Seiko (which can have a 5 month wait) you're at the mercy of what you can find. My sources are usually, eBay or AliExpress these days. Your best option is digging on AliExpress since there are several sellers who have single listings for OEM dials that have choices of a dozen dials or more. So there's not an easy way to get the exact one you want unfortunately, you just have to dig, or grab what you can get.
@@ItsAnotherWatch Many thanks for taking the time in responding to my post. OEM parts are the holy grail, with Seiko having a plethora of amazing dials from watches long since discontinued. I eagerly await your future presentations to-date have been most enjoyable and enlightening.
I enjoy your videos, I really do. I can share in your videos all the thrill and personal drama that goes along watch assembly since all those intricate pieces are quite delicate and expensive as well, so one never want to mess the whole thing.
Mate, I love this mod! It definitely turned out more than 'alright', it looks perfect. The crown choice was a winner and the upgraded bezel insert too. Most of all I love your videos. I've not seen many of them to be honest, just the Fifty-Five Fathoms salvage and this one, but I really enjoyed both of them. There's a lot of honesty and humour in them which I think people appreciate and enjoy. You also showed some strap options on this one which was a good bonus. You have great taste in mods and you really put a lot of effort to show every process and even go beyond. I hope you continue to enjoy doing more mods ❤️👍🏼✌🏼🤝🏼
Really cool! I watched like 5-6 of your videos in just one day and I enjoyed every minute. I am up for my first mod! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
is it CT37CIS Clear AR which is called''Doubled dome only for sloping inserts'' As far as I researched; Since the inner diameter of the ring is not exactly suitable for this situation, it is recommended to use double domed glass. Could you please support this subject? Thank you... CT037CIS - Specially designed to solve the ugly step problem for ceramic beveled/thick lower end bezels inserts. Double dome (domed top domed bottom side) with a large top edge strip and no angled edge design to provide a smoother and smoother fit to curved ceramic bezel inserts.
It looks amazing! Setting hands is very nerve racking. I was replacing the movement in a chronograph, and let me tell you, those little subdial hands... just try it once and you will feel like the main watch hands are easy. Did you try some silicone lube on the crown o-rings? I'm not a watchmaker but an engineer so forgive the terminology, but I think the hand misalignment is because of backlash in the gears, and when you set the movement to the point of changing the date, you have done so with the crown, but the slack in the gears is in the wrong place compared to when the movement reaches this point by itself. My tip would be, before disassembling anything, let the watch reach 12:00 by itself and note the alignment, then rotate it manually to 12:00 by the crown and note the alignment difference, and take that into account when rebuilding the watch. No idea if this is correct - I've only had this problem once and I just nudged the minute hand to match the hour hand and all was well. GL!
Kudo's to you for having the shear patience, and focus to pull, what would be considered essentially watch making, off at a very respectable level of quality. It requires an inherent level of patience that, quite honestly I just do not possess. But that I admittedly, am in awe of. Great video, and as a man that has worked with his hands for the last 30-35 years, I am truly impressed with your abilities. Thanks for sharing
Maybe I missed it in the video (I’ve watched it three times because the watch is gorgeous) but, where did you source the final bezel insert? I’m currently sourcing parts to build this watch and love that insert. I’ve been searching high and low but no luck. I recently found your channel, BTW, as I have started watch building as my new hobby. Thanks for the detailed videos and parts lists you include in the video description.
Hey I’ve just started following you… your videos are great… 😂 I’ve just starting collecting watches.. this watch looks amazing… I’d love to build a watch like this but it seems a bit daunting 😮😂
question : why do all modify only seiko ? why not ... orient, that is same as old and functional as seiko . cheaper . or Citizen ? i`d like , for instance, to modify my ray 2 into citizen ny0100-50m , i like this model`s hands,blue luminance ?or into rolex submariner. please . i know orient ray 2 uses seiko skx007 parts, it is compatible
I really enjoy your walk through builds. Appreciate you taking the time to not only make these videos but also respond to those that comment. Can't wait to see the next build!
Thanks very much! I also appreciate people such as yourself who take the time to let me know. If no one interacted with these videos they wouldn't be worth making. So thanks very much for watching and commenting!
Just subscribed. Fixed computers for over 25 years. Also, build spaceship models.

You are so talentef just keep moving forward.You will eventualy learn this procces and you will make a mod in a few hours.But pls get dials with c3 lume.After all you are moding diver's watches and there has to be a good lume.I love your work and this is my favorite one.Love the name too "ATLANTIS" wish you all the best...........
Awesome! I love your videos. It's really awesome how you set up your videos. I am really a big fan. I would love to put together a watch myself, but I have too much respect for doing something wrong. Great Seiko Atlantis. Greetings from Germany
I love your mods and builds. I am just beginning to learn more about mods. This build has a lovely bezel. Why dont you build this MOD on the MM200 case Dan? Keep up the good work and looking forward to many more builds around the MM200 Reduced cases.
could you help me with something please? I would like to know which dome you use the SKX ATLANTIS - Omega Planet Ocean Homage. this: NMK301 - SKX/SRPD Double Domed Sapphire Crystal, or this: NMK302 - SKX/SRPD Double Domed Sapphire Crystal (No Bevel Edge). thanks for your answer.
Looks like mine does in fact have a beveled edge on it, since I used a sloped bezel insert. Although the bezel insert wasn't meant for an SKX and shows a slight gap. If you're going for a sloped bezel insert, the regular NMK301 will be fine. But if you were going for a standard flat bezel insert the "no bevel edge" NMK302 might look cleaner, I think that's the one I used for my "perfect skx" (the SKX171 mod).
I ended up replacing the hands with these: wrwatches.com/products/planet-ocean-arrow-hands-for-nh35-4r35-6r15-7s26-movement You see them briefly in this video here: th-cam.com/video/MMN613kZM3I/w-d-xo.html when i show it next to my 62MAS build.
Loving your channel Dan. Im continually inspired and my creative juices flow with each new vid I watch lol I like the idea of doing a "Sports watch" project with a smooth bezel. Can you recommend a case type (this SKX007 maybe?) Cheers me dears, keep up the good work! atb, Kev
I won't recommend a specific case, since its going to depend on your taste and ideas for the build. But I would recommend any of the cases from places NamokiMods or crystaltimes/seikomods (to name a couple) that are specifically compatible with SKX007 parts. That will maximize your options for parts and ensure that it goes along like a conventional SKX007 build. I might even recommend grabbing a simple Homage watch that looks mostly like what you're aiming for and then do a simple dial and hand swap. There are also plenty of NH-movement compatible cases on AliExpress that come fully assembled which eliminates the headache of having to press in a crystal, and they're pretty great value too if you get the 200M water resistant ones.
Thank you, well kinda, I've decided to start building watches and I both love and hate you for it, honestly thank you again, I've learned so much and your videos are the best
depending on the parts, a build like this can range from 300-500 bucks, but modding an homage watch can save some money as well as getting something like a complete case setup from places like AliExpress. That price wouldn't include the tools needed either.
I'm considering my first mod, of my Seiko Batman turtle. I understand that skx and turtles all have interchangeable parts. That "buttery" bezel you go on about, I assume would fit my turtle easily? Also, I'm thinking of just adding an orange seconds hand to add a pop of color. Can a watchmaker just remove the seconds hand and change it? Or do they need to remove all the hands and reset them all at the same time?
I don't have a turtle myself to know for sure what parts are interchangeable. But I don't think the case parts are (besides maybe a caseback, but again I'm not sure about those either). Unless you were using an SKX turtle conversion case, I'd assume case parts are not compatible. I'm fairly sure that things like Bezels and chapter rings are definitely not compatible between the SKX and the turtle, so its probably best to look into Turtle Specific mod parts when modding the turtle case itself.
I've got the 06 Planet ocean that this homages and the bezel on yours seems smoother than the original. The original is very ratchety (though precise as you'd expect). its a good homage though. i like it. Its only by seeing yours that i remember how 'coppery' the original bezel insert was when mine was new. Mine is way faded now but has a nice vintage look. I wear mine mostly on an orange crocodile strap these days rather than the bracelet.
Wow.!!! How cool does that look.! How much did all them parts add up to as im thinking of having a go. Its putting the hands on that gets me everytime but i was using an empty biro shell to push them on.!! That is well cool.!! 👍
It's been a couple of years since I built this so I can't remember the exact numbers. But a build like this can range anywhere from £250 to £400 depending on the parts you go with.
@@ItsAnotherWatch Thankyou for all the mod classes and i promise to do better next time. Gonna get all the proper tools this time and maybe start with just changing a steeldive willard dial with a fancy applied seiko branding. Fingers crossed.!! 🤞🤣
Hey mate just discovered your Chanel, about to order all my parts for a first build, base off of when you initially test fitted the dial and found it to have 3.8 crown position dial feet, am I correct in assuming any nh35 or 36 movement can be used for a 3 crown or a 3.8 crown case/dial? I am using an an nh35 with date only btw
Yeah, the date disc lines up with either 3 or 3.8 O'clock crown dials on the Nh36/NH35. Its only the the day disc that needs to be swapped for the alignment change.
Thanks, the parts I've used in this build are rated for 200M water resistance so If I got the crystal in properly then it should maintain that. But unfortunately I don't have the equipment to properly test that. And no, I don't offer any modding services if that's what you meant. If you just wanted to see me mod a preowned SKX watch, I did do a SKX171 mod on my channel here: th-cam.com/video/sijX9tAbb_M/w-d-xo.html
Sure, here's a link to the press I use. www.amazon.co.uk/Watch-Press-Screw-Precise-Crystal/dp/B07Q13KXMG/ Just search Watch Crystal Press on amazon and you'll find many listings for it.

That is one of the cleanest and classiest SKX mods I've seen. Absolutely love it.
Awesome video! Great production quality, and of course great mod. Will be interested to see if you can leave it alone or keep upgrading it.
Wow, great video. You just made that Seiko look like my orange bezel Mako XL!! Lol! Great channel...just subscribed!

Your enthusiasm is admirable. I'm inspired by your patience and attention to detail.
Man, your videos are so fascinating. You earned yourself a subscriber
It is a lovely looking watch so well done sticking with it.
Yes, this one did turn out excellent! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That’s a gorgeous build.
Well done

so nice 👍🏻
A homage that looks better than the original. =)
honestly i like it better than an actual omega.
Amazing video , that insert was so nice
Have you got a link for the improved bezel insert? I can't find one that good anywhere!
I'd really appreciate a link to the improved bezel insert as well. Can't seem to find exact one myself. Thanks for the great video!
Audio was a tad loud but great video overall!
There's no 't' in Rodico. LOL!
Yeah, I made that mistake for a few of my early videos. Shows I never looked at something right in front of me haha.
That is an absolutely gorgeous watch
Thats a pretty hot watch! Nice job!
Hey mate just discovered your Chanel, about to order all my parts for a first build, base off of when you initially test fitted the dial and found it to have 3.8 crown position dial feet, am I correct in assuming any nh35 or 36 movement can be used for a 3 crown or a 3.8 crown case/dial? I am using an an nh35 with date only btw
Yeah, the date disc lines up with either 3 or 3.8 O'clock crown dials on the Nh36/NH35. Its only the the day disc that needs to be swapped for the alignment change.
@@ItsAnotherWatch thanks mate appreciate it, keep up the good work
БОМБА !!!
Great video... Just wondering if the finished product still maintains its waterproof qualities and if you do mods on preowned SKX 007 watches.
Thanks, the parts I've used in this build are rated for 200M water resistance so If I got the crystal in properly then it should maintain that. But unfortunately I don't have the equipment to properly test that.
And no, I don't offer any modding services if that's what you meant. If you just wanted to see me mod a preowned SKX watch, I did do a SKX171 mod on my channel here: th-cam.com/video/sijX9tAbb_M/w-d-xo.html
@@ItsAnotherWatch Thank you for the quick reply.
Your best build. Excellent.
A truly breathtaking build! 👏🏼
Bruh that Watch is stunning.
It looks amazing 🤩
now this looks good.
That is a stunner
Is there a chance to see to see what kit you use to put these together. The main thing is the crystal press!
Sure, here's a link to the press I use. www.amazon.co.uk/Watch-Press-Screw-Precise-Crystal/dp/B07Q13KXMG/
Just search Watch Crystal Press on amazon and you'll find many listings for it.
@@ItsAnotherWatch thanks really appreciate that!
That's a masterpiece!
