Just managed to save it in 4k resolution, should I upload it in better quality? Or FHD works for you guys?
Thank you so much for the heads up about scratching the date. Your a very good teacher with good detail at explaining things. also i understand why you pushed the dial in bith sides One time I went to push the movement in and it flipped🤭 🙏( also your english is very good)
@@nunsc I'm glad my video helped you😊 Thank you for supporting 🙏
Great video! I have a Steeldive SD1972 and while the sunburst blue dial is very nice, I want to swap it for a different one and keep the old one. It was great to see someone working on a Steeldive, now I know I can do it! For a little while there when you were placing the seconds hand, I thought you were going to say: "...but not for me, because I am Superman!"
Well, it's a super video, man! Great attention to detail - not too fast, not too slow, and your background music is pleasant and unobtrusive. SO many TH-camrs get that *WRONG* but yours is the way it should be. I just found your channel and I subscribed because I hope to see more Steeldive work in the future. They are *well above average* homage watches and I really love mine and will buy more from them. Thanks again and best wishes. It looks like we share a name, as well. :) It's a great name!
Thank you, Alex! Really glad you find it useful, I will be making more videos with SteelDive for sure 😊
Wow, great work! The bezel lume looks so good with the contrasting lume on the dial. Keep up the great work, Salute 🙏
Thank you! Will do😊🙏
Nice work. I think the end result with different shades of lume looks fantastic.
Thanks! Yes, I like the contract too
Great job! Turned out beautiful!
Thanks😊😊
Fantastic job!
Do you have any video and advice for changing the standard bezel on the SD 1953 to a GMT one?
Thanks again for such a professional and helpful presentation.
Thanks!😊 First, I was using nail polish remover. Soaked tge bezel in that liquid for about 10-20min, but recently I tried popping out the crystal instead. It seems to be faster and easier.
First, remove the crystal, then I use a flat screwdriver to lift the insert carefully all around. But be careful, I broke one already😅😅
Then ofcorse it would be better and easier to just replace the bezel insert, rather than the whole bezel..right?
Is that advisable in your opinion?
@Resolute900 I haven't tried removing the bezel from this model, afraid to scratch the case. So far, removing the crystal for changing the bezel insert is the easiest option for me
Great video thank you for uploading. I noted the Steeldive SD1953 Dial Size is 31.25*29.50*27.50*0.40mm but you replace with a Seiko 28.5mm dial, I assume the 1mm difference is okay? Also, would this work in the quartz SD8205, assuming it uses the same dial as the SD1953?
I always thought the dial size was 28.5mm😁😁 But anyway, it fits perfectly. About SD8205, I'm not sure, but the watch seems to be identical, so probably can try
Hello! Thanks for the tutorial. I happen to want to replace the caseback and the crown, what would the correct size for them? Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching😁🙏 The crown is 7mm, the caseback diameter 35.5x30.44mm. Here is the link for the caseback

Thanks a lot!@@ShortBetter
@@josephlin7556 good luck with your mod😊
Thanks, do you happen to know if there's a caseback in that spec that can be opend with the wrench instead? and I have ordered a 7mm crown that just arrived today, and it seem a little bit bigger than the crown that came with the watch? Thank you in advance for all your help!@@ShortBetter
@@josephlin7556 Nope, that's the only caseback I found so far.. Show me the link for the crown please😊
You helped me a lot. thank you
@@jeremys6370 you're welcome 😊
Très belle comme ça.. Le cadran lui va très bien 😊 Merci pour cette excellente vidéo !
You're welcome 😊 🙏 🤗
Looks great.
What diameter dial did you use for the swap?
@@macg86 thanks! 28.5 or 29mm will fit
Hello, on Aliexpress in the reviews they write about a worse bezel on the updated version of the watch. What do you say, did not compare?
In the "new" version they changed only a bracelet clasp 😁😁 The bezel quality is excellent as always
@@ShortBetter Well, the back cover has definitely changed. Thank you!
@@actioncasual9510 didn't notice any other changes, I will check again soon
Nice vid again. How do you remove the pins on the seiko dial?
Thanks! I use the nail clippers😁 Very convenient
@@ShortBetter Nice. Don't know if you remember me asking you a couple of questions before, at this stage I have all the tools (still need to get the silicone blue gel) you have. A little bit more courage on my side, I am ready to do a mod. Thanks for all your inspirations and answers. It is a great hobby!!!
@@walnawk good to know you decided to try! Good luck with your first mod😊😊🙏
@@ShortBetter can you post here where you got this particular dial, thanks.
@walnawk can't sorry. I got it from a local website, it won't be available abroad
Друг!, Подскажи пожалуйста какой размер диаметр Циферблата. Я то я хотел заказать а там 28,5 или 29. Спасибо.
Either will fit
Hey, begginer question here: does this kind of dial also fit a quartz watch? Do quartz watches use the same kind of dials with pins?
Hi, unfortunatelly no. It's kind of a gamble if you don't know the exact size of the quartz movement. Most of the time, even the dial size will be the same, but the date window will be misaligned.
@@ShortBetter thanks! But are the pin positions the same?
@@adctm Definitely not. And that's the smallest issue here😅
@@ShortBetter got it, thanks!!
Welcome! Do you know the size of o-ring on the watch back case?
I will be modding one today. Will check for you later, now don't remember
This is awesome!!!!
Haha, it is😄 Thank you
Great video! Thank you for it! Do you have a link to that dial? There are so many to choose from on Ali LoL!
Thanks for reminding me! I forgot to add the link, will do it in a minute
Sorry, I got confused about the dials a bit. Unfortunately, I don't have the link for this one, I ordered it from a local store in Thailand, but there are identical dials on Aliexpress for sure!
Maybe a stupid question but when putting a non date dial on a nh35 (date movement), firstly, that is possible right? Secondly, is it necessary to also align it as shown in the video since it's non date? Thankyou
Yes, you can put literally any no-date dial if it's 28,5-29mm. You don't need to line it up perfectly since you can't see the date. Just aim about that midnight mark, and it's should be enough
Great! Thankyou for answering this quickly!
Im sorry, i'm very new to the modding and thanks to your clear explainations im gonna try to do it for the first time haha. Another question if you don't mind. The Pagani Design Datejust PD-1645 (NH35, 40MM) a 28,5 mm dial will fit right? Basically any 40mm watch with a nh35 will need a 28,5mm dial?
@lorenzo7687 PD1645 is 42mm and the dial is about 31mm or so.. And no, 28.5mm dial won't fit any NH35 case. But most of subs, tunas, and turtles 100%
@lorenzo7687 I am planning to mod PD1645 too😅😅
Lovely stuff 🎉
Thank you😊
Hi sir...what is the bezel insert size for steeldive 1953? Thanks..
38mm.. Probably too late :D
Can you help me find out thw crown tube diameter? I wamt to replace my crown but the Ali store does not know the crown tube dimensions.
I will recommend you an easy solution. Instead of replacing the crown, just sand the logo off and then polish it again. It is easier than it sounds and looks factory-made!
I tried to find a crown replacement very long time without success
@@ShortBetter Thank you, I wanted to do a Rolex Mod crown.
Would the seiko srpd case back fit?
I don't think so
hi sir do you know the diameter of the case back cover ? i need to change it to glass but i dont know the size i will buy
thank you godbless kapunkap
Hi link for the dial pls thank you
can you replace the back to glass and the clasp to another one with Seiko engraved on it?
Yes, anything can be done😊
how to change the insert bezel sd 1953. can you make a video how to do it 🙏🙏🙏please
Hi, I made 2 or 3 videos already haha
@@ShortBetter link ?
@@syahrulk9294 9:30 th-cam.com/video/Jl4MD-NVAsw/w-d-xo.html
@@ShortBetter is there a way to open the inzert bezel without using that liquid, and without opening the bezel
@@syahrulk9294 then you would have to break it and remove by pieces haha. But anyway you would need to clean the glue before putting the new insert
please help me, is my addiesdive h3 bezel and steeldive 1953 bezel the same. I want to replace my addiesdive bezel🙏🙏🙏
Yes, the same
I want ask you to modify my San Martin grand seiko homage with grand seiko dial if it’s possible. How can I contact you?im in Philippines
Just message me on Facebook or Instagram 😊 You can find the links in the description
What size for Rolex case ?
Can u do this for me
Yes, message me on Facebook or Instagram. The links are in the description 😊
@@ShortBetter really sorry
I don't use social media platform
Would really appreciate it if share ur email id or WhatsApp number
wish can buy this
You can!
good vid . . thank you
Thank you for watching :)
Вы гений !!! ❤ Я сделаю тоже самое!!!!
И я тоже)
Can you give a link to the seiko dial?
sorry, ordered on a local webiste. But you can try searching on Ali, they should have it
I just prefer to keep it as Steeldive personally, unless it's a Seiko style case like SD1970. Seiko with mercedes hands just doesn't look right.
I can't send you a picture here.. I made another one with different hands. It really looks so much better!
Were did you buy the dial ?
At the local online shop, you also can find it on Aliexpress 100%
@@ShortBetter may i know, what is the dial diameter size? Thank you
@@lowkey8929 28.5mm
The same dials on alixpress just say EiK not SEIKO. like others have asked can you provide a link?
@@wyzgyz84 Yes, link please
Link to the dial please?
Sorry, no link
Size of this dial?please
28.5mm
Nice! I am waiting for your video of the batman pagani nh34 gmt dial swap sir 😊
Still waiting for delivery😅😅
Can we take off the magnifying on glass?
Yes
