Thanks for the advice. I’ve used your method for putting in the SEIKO dial sticker, it took me 2 or 3 tries to get it in straight! Rodico is so useful for watch assembly…

Bro... If you haven't done this yet... You should also start using the zoom glasses..thyy look like a mad doctor Googles that have magnifying glass you can swich... Get ones with LED lights.... The view is amazing!!!! The third hand was always a nightmare for me... Now it's as easy as putting a pen on the table 😛😛😛

I upgraded to that press recently from the regular old plunger style presses. It does need a little bit more ass, I may remake the frame out of steel while keeping the lead screw mechanism. Couple of tips from pro watchmaker: The first die you were using to try to press on the bezel was too wide and it was simply flaring out instead of pushing down. If the bezel doesn't interfere with the crystal I would have done the bezel first cuz you wouldn't have to worry about clearing the crystal with the die. I didn't notice if there was something about the case where you have to put the dial in first, but I always do case assembly like that with the movement out if I can. Just makes it a lot less likely you'll damage your dial hands and movement if something goes wrong. Finally I saw you had the whole case sitting on its case back on the aluminum die on the bottom of the press. This is contraindicated to say the least as it can collapse the case back. I always use a dye that contacts the case solidly on its own flanks not on the case back itself. Hope this helps, keep up the great videos I really enjoy your channel!

As always, amazing video. Cheers mate.

Watch making kits cost more than the original watches 😅😅😅😅 I love when these idiot RUclipsrs think that everybody else is fool.

Shouldn’t you check the natural date change before manually changing it thus knowing what time the watch is set to? Manually changing the date when it’s close to 12 am can damage the date change components No?

Beautiful! glad I’m not alone with hand struggles 😊 Had good success with Multi-Purpose B7000 Adhesive Glue vs two sided tape.

lol, interesting, is modding always this frustrating?

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MaMaCoo and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.

It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.

That's a super chunky case, looks beautiful in the end!

It's gorgeous. I think it was WORTH all the time.

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

I have a Timex NAVI-XL and its every bit as good as this, and it looks better too.

A comedy of errors.

"Very cheap bracelet honest" -well honestly, they not going to put a $300.00 strap on a $100 watch 🙄 🎤 drop

Hi, quick question: how did you clear off the blank dial (your junk dial) ? I have a dial that I would like to do that same too.

I always have issues with the NH34 GMT as well! It seems almost impossible to align reliably. The misalignment also seems to change as you move the GMT in the 1st position on the crown,.

The margin between genuine and copy thereof is becoming narrower and in some instances is equal if not better in some aspects. Eg the copy having a sapphire crystal vs a hardlex on the genuine.

Can't believe the price of those dials tho I could buy a very decent watch for that. I did try to take off a bezel from a watch didn't realise the bezel gear would brake and I've not Been able to find a replacement one. When starting out tying repairs you always seem to mess it up but you do learn from the mistakes it just isn't easy. That's why it is costly to send them off. I was quoted over£300 to get it fixed which is way more than the watch cost 😮 so it is still broken. But it was a invicta legend which isn't available any more or atleast I could not find one. 😢 but I did learn from it. 😊

Looks good on your wrist 😊clean look 👌 I think you deserved the beach after that. I have a addiesdive and when I got it it looked so clean clear and beautiful and I should wear it more often but I have started to realise that are a while some watches irritate my skin. 😢 but hey I have over 100 pieces so lots to choose from hence I always double Don which I think I started. 🤔 😊

Nice. If I could make a request it would be this watch but with no strap. A pocket watch version of this. I'd love my kids to get me that as a gift. But I don't have kids, soo...... Kinda unrealistic for me.

All this work and still using that old o-ring🤣

The crown itself is spring loaded as part of the screwdown design

I love the videos you post, really inspiring. I’m in the same situation where I need to widen a dial hole - what’s the name of the tool you use on your pin vise? Thanks 😊

I would just like to say a huge thanks to you and this Channel. Without these videos, I wouldn’t have turned my tired old seiko, into a priceless masterpiece. Well, in mind anyway! To anyone else it’s just another watch but now when I look at it, it just makes me smile. Used your Namoki discount code for your kick back so thanks for that too. Now I want to do full build and keep this and my collection going. I doff my cap to you sir. More content if you please.

If you want something that will take those burrs off the dial, you can use a countersink bit with your hand and lightly twist it in the dial hole to remove the burrs. Like just let the weight of the bit act as the pressure you apply. It works for small stuff like this as a deburring tool and I got it to work well on my NH34 build that uses an NH35 dial. Much cleaner and easier to use than going in with tweezers or rodico to clean it up. Keep up the wonderful videos!

Changing the logo on a dial is a level of horological exploration that I will leave to this gentleman haha

Why dont you just leave it alone, nothing to be gained by 'modding' it--- just a childish obsession and nothing better to do I would think, ....people do it with guitars too, for no acceptable reason.

A truly great and inspiring video... except for the whole glossy Seiko logo thing. Couldn't you have just frosted the existing logo with some 4000 grit paper? It seems like such a fuss to switch them out. Thank you again for the excellent watch modding tutorials!

Super cool watch, on point explanations and camera work, bunch of info regarding the case thickness as a final product and the stem length would be of great help, thanks!

that hand setting bit is PRICELESS. THANK YOU.....................

Love the videos Dan, thought it was just me who thinks a simple build will take a couple of hours and ends up 3 frigging days! 😂😂😂

I have a real SUB but I also bought one of these replicas from MaMaCoo for piece of mind if I go to another country or if I am doing activities that can damage the watch. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Your process is invaluable as I'm prepping to do my first custom build. Love that MM300 case vs others, just a bit disappointed with bracelet options, though Strapcode has one that'll do. UPDATE: I ordered the Namoki MM300 case, but the MM300 bracelets from Strapcode & the one from AliExpress that matched the stock Seiko would not fit that Namoki case. So I just ordered the Namoki one, so another 2 weeks of waiting now. Cheers!

Will it fit the Casio duro 106?

Genuinely not a fan fluted bezels. Don't even really like em on the Datejust... but this, damn you turned me into a believer.

That Chinese day letter ring is really bothering me...

Hi Dan, loved the build and it turned out stunning, my first time watching your channel. I do a bit of fanagling myself and it was comforting to see its not just me who gets into trouble with this wonderful hobby. I'm about to start my own GS homage with aliexpress sourced parts. I'll video it with my phone, so not to your standard but perhaps it'll be of some help to others.

Came here from that other video. This is a great build and instructional video too. Thanks, it gives more understanding of how this is all done from a hobby enthusiast. If it's possible to make a wish, may I suggest you create a new series of short format videos (RUclips Shorts or just 3-4 min videos) on all these steps to build a mod from scratch? Also, it would be of really great value to understand more of what a particular tool does and where on a scale of absolutely necessary to nice to have it is. Btw, do you have other social media?

I find it best to set the GMT hand then rotate it to the 6:00 position then fit the hour hand at the 12.

Wow, what a beauty! Aesthetically it is superior to the actual Datejust. Case finish is excellent, the dial is stunning.

Bro you look like casey frey w/ long hair lmao. Great video mate !

Hey Mate ! Your work is amazing ! Bravo ! 🎉 I’m based in Switzerland and I would like to know if you sell your creations ? I would be very very interested. Let us know in the chat. That would be great. Thanks again ! Greetings from Lausanne…. 👍🏻🤟🏻✊🏻

I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the MaMaCoo 's watches are the most intriguing.

I have to say that #amzwatch 's watches is amazing!

Ever since I bought a watch from amzwatch , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?

Thanks for sharing this Daniel. Quite curious, is there a reason why you didn't opt of the Seikosis handset? Thanks.

Please use plastic when undoing/screwing cases and get a proper spring bar tool, avoids 90% of scratches😏

Oh wow, this video hits perfectly for me. I've bought some parts from SeikoMods/CrystalTimes, some parts (and especially all the tools!) from AliExpress and salvaged the rest from the leftovers from my first mod (SKX009). I'm building a Baby Tuna mod from scratch. I especially like the parts where you show how to use the crystal press (I have the same thing) and how to remove the bezel insert from the previous build. A great example of See One, Do One, Teach(?) One.
