Thanks for watching, appreciate it! Was that wristwatch revival you were watching? That was kind of where I started also. I’ve been pulling movements down to build up to fixing and servicing watches also. Cheers.

Nice one!! I’ve wondered if this is the case. Cheers, I’ll try that on the new build I have here. 🙏🏼

Nice one mate, good luck with the build! Jump on the Seiko mod reddit page too. So many good modders on there sharing ideas and experience.

I haven’t tried any of the Nautalis cases/bracelets. Most of the bracelets I get are usually better than a real Seiko bracelet TBH. I mostly try to go for anything with high levels of sales and heaps of good reviews. The only time I’ve had an issue is when I purchased from an item with no reviews.

Thank you!! Good luck with the build

That’s locktight, just a threadlocker

@@modsandmovements thank you very much 😍

Well yes, I didn’t pour and lathe the tiny parts lol. Maybe next time I’ll get some ingot to melt down 🤣

Haha yea, lots of lessons to be learnt that’s for sure! I’m about 6 builds in now and much faster at the seconds hand. You’re right about bonding with that watch for sure, been such a cool journey!

All the parts are listed in the description. For the dial they seem to delist it a lot. If you search Aliexpress for nh34 ‘s’ dial you should find one

Hi mate, yes I’ve actually just started now I’ve got more experience. Send me a message on IG

@modsandmovements

Hi, that’s the dial washer is puts pressure on the 24h wheel when you change it so that it doesn't jump out of alignment. At least that how I understand it to work

⁠thx. Does it get installed with the convex side facing up or down

Convex down I beleive

I’ve found these work best. Hour - grey or 1.5 Minute- red or 0.8 Second- white or flat

With gloves on! What do you use to press the dial on?

Haha, I know. Can’t find anything decent. Anywhere you recommend?

@@modsandmovements there should be in different sizes. Good video tho

Hi mate, it cost me $163AUD which is about $107USD. The the parts and tools are listed in the description of the video. I try to stick with good sellers with good reviews. Seems to be the best way to assure quality items.

@@modsandmovements noted, thanks 👍🏻

Are you talking about the hand?

You can still get it, just need to search Alix. Try this seller They call them S dial s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mLkcQKS

You can still get it, just need to search Alix. Try this seller s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mLkcQKS

@@modsandmovements Ty Man! I see this sellers but i don't see the name Seiko in dial i think is because copy right sure?. Thank you for this mensagem Man! I haver another question Sorry, If a buy a Pagani gmt can i try change for Seiko dial?

I’m not sure about the Pegani watches. It would need to have an NH movement and also work out dial size.

Haha thanks. Part of the process I think

If you can save for a little longer and get a mechanical watch with a Seiko NH movement, it could last you a loooong time. There are some crazy cheap watches on AliX with decent movements.

Yea absolutely. Just make sure the bracelet fits the case and you’re good

Thank you!

@@modsandmovements hey quick question. Do you know where I can buy a dial for my Seiko Daytona mod? I can’t find a dial that has the oyster perpetual chronometer on the dial as well as seiko. Even for my GMT dial I can’t find any that have Seiko on it.

Thanks mate. Great idea, I’ll work on putting something together! Anything specifically you’d like to know?

@@modsandmovements personally I’m having a hard time with knowing where to buy different parts. Example AliX will have a movement for 10$ and another store with the same movement will be 30$. Is the quality that much different or is one overpriced. Anything is helpful thank you for these videos very inspiring

@BigM6732 Yea the quality can be vastly different. The main thing I like to go off is the reviews people have left

Yea I think Alix keeps pulling it down. If you just search NH34 gmt master S dial you’ll find them

We line up midnight, so the date changes at the right time. Otherwise your date could end up anywhere

Hi, tool list and links are all in the description of my videos. ✌🏻

Couldn’t agree more.

They are! I did build some mods with the nh series (34,35,36) and all of them run +- 0.5s to 3s a day after regulation. (beat error unregulated, if I did that they would probably all run in the 0.x s realm) You get nice parts, if you buy from the right shops. for 150-300€ you get excellent parts, under 150 or maybe 100, the quality really falls of. My sweet spot is right about 150 for Ali/ ebay parts and 300ish for mod stores like Namoki and so on.

Absolutely. I’ve since got a headset and a microscope for taking apart movements. Well worth the investment!

Hi, I used a vernier to measure the gap between the crown and the case. Then cut it down bits at a time. Then use lock tight once it’s cut to the correct size

The watch parts were about $160AUD or $108 USD.

@@modsandmovements is The movement from AliExpress actually seiko?

Hi, all the parts are in the description of the video 🤙🏼

That’s awesome! It’s so rewarding and fun to do. I bet your dad’s going to love it!

Thanks for the kind words! Got a new build video coming soon

I’ll have a look now and update them, I’ll let you know what I find

Just checked and all the links in the description are working. Try this one, case, bracelet and bezel all come together, just pick your colour. Try this one: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdFyxCP

Thanks!! You can absolutely create your own logos for watches and apply them yourself. Aliexpress has companies that do it

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Always working on something the background at the moment!

Check out my other builds on the channel if you haven’t already

Thanks! 100% recommend it’s so rewarding. And once it’s done it’s something you can own and wear for a long time.

I’ve got zero experience with Quartz movements, sorry. The NH series is notionally reliable though, must have just got a dodgy one or dodgy supplier possibly. Anything outside of the NH series, Miyota or ETA clone movements you’ll struggle to find cases and parts etc. or at least be very limited. The NH series of movements definitely offers the widest range of choices.

Thank you!!

That’s great, glad it was useful. Let me know how you go.

Yea the GMT dials seem to get taken down a lot. If you just search for NH34 gmt s dial you’ll find them.

These logos were from a website called 4customize. I’ve since ordered more from an AliX seller. a.aliexpress.com/_mtg9H1o

Wow that would be super clear at that magnification!

Yes, it’s a GMT movement

@@modsandmovements but when I search online it's say it's not a gmt movement. Can you please share me components link from ebay. As aliexpress is banned in my country India

@abdulkaleem8927 Sorry, I didn’t buy the parts on eBay so wouldn’t even know which sellers to recommend. The NH34 is 100% a GMT movement

@@modsandmovements Thank you 🙏💕

Hi, not at all. I’ve you got a loupe you’re going to be able to work it out. I’ve got 5x, 10x 15x and 20x. I used the 5 and 10 the most now. But initially the 15 and 20 were really handy because I had no idea what I was looking at lol. The hardest part is knowing where the pinion is for the seconds hand. 15 or 20 will help you see it and understand where to place it. Hope that helps! Let me know how you go and what sort of watch you build!
