The "hand-setter I believe" is actually a hole punch for leather straps to add an extra hole. Great channel!

[@brenttesterman1198]

Thank you! You are more articulate and comprehensive compared to the other watch repair channels. I subscribed, Peace

[@JohnMoore-rv4zm]

I need these tools. I have a drawer full of old watches, some automatic, a lot of them quartz, fashion watches I bought over the years and would wear when I got bored with the Santos I wore back in my suit days. Looking for a cheap tool watch diver, I found my SKX007, replaced the Jubilee with a Strapcode Oyster and was tickled with it on my wrist. But the movement sucked. I started watching videos and found you to mod mine--on camera!--with a new, better, hackable, windable NH36 movement. While you had mine, I bought a Turtle Recraft SPRC15. Then I fell in love with the beautiful, and apparently hard to find, retro green face and "weathered gold" case of the Solar SNE448. You could say I've got the bug, getting into bands and bitten enough to pop the cases on some of what would otherwise just be dead junk in a drawer. One thing is sure, my perfected 007 remains my go-to watch, the perfect everyday workhorse and a joy to wear. And your videos continue to inspire.

[@LumeShot]

Thanks for taking the time to write this out, I really appreciate the kind words and hope you continue to enjoy the modded SKX!

[@stileshumphrey4195]

I purchased this kit based on your review and received it less than a week ago. Most of the tools are in good shape, however, the head of the hammer popped-off and three of the plastic posts on the watch holder don’t sit flush. I will contact the manufacturer for support.

[@bernardovargasc]

I have the exact same kit; it's got everything I need.

[@dni_g3533]

Seriously looking at this since when I got my watch resized, not only did he put the pins in backwards, but he also put a few pretty deep scratches in the bottom link. Great vid!

[@ilanpav]

Same here LOL!

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Thanks for this video. I learned some more details about the tools I've been using for a while.

[@wadepatton2433]

I have a slightly different version of that kit. Came here to see about the tools that weren't so obvious. Thanks. I'm going to play with a beat up Seiko 5 before I do anything to my SKX's.

[@markbrophy1276]

I love your KZbin videos. Always informative and they make sense. Always full of good advise. I have started collecting watches. I have a Seiko SNK807. Then I got a Seiko SARB017. I am ordering SKX007 and have ordered a hacking and hand winding movement, a signed crown, a new stem, am ordering a ceramic bezel and double dome sapphire crystal. I will need most of those tools when I do the mod. I will not do the hands. Will get a watch maker maker to do that. Mark

[@FdJ96]

Great video as always man. I think the tool you don't know the use for, can be used to make holes in a leather strap. I have worked on some small engines and if there were no gaskets available for the engine you use a tool similar to that to make holes where the bolts go through. Only a bit bigger of course. Thoughts on this?

[@hgr.7857]

My thought is "Very cool, thanks for sharing".

[@SH-kh4bq]

great vid man, would help if you had some examples otherwise super informative

[@cdsmith1990]

Big fan of your videos dude! I'd use this kit to modify my SKX007. It's my second Seiko but my first diver's watch, I have fitted a StrapCode Super Oyster to it so far, but I'm looking to go even further with a sapphire domed crystal and maybe a new bezel, after watching your modding video, so this tool kit would be super useful! Keep up the great videos

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I was just looking at a bunch of these kits on Amazon. I'm starting to get interested in the watch scene and thought I'd get a kit to sort of play around and get my feet wet. I noticed that many of the kits have the same parts, so identical they're probably made by the same manufacturer. And a lot of the reviews have the same complaints, about parts breaking easily. I just chalked that up to the tools being so small, I'd expect a certain amount of care to be needed so you aren't breaking things all the time. There are so many choices though, it's hard to filter through the actual junk and find a good one. Glad I stumbled across your video.

[@LumeShot]

These definitely arent the best tools available. In the end, you get what you pay for. In my personal set of tools, they have been individually sourced and do add up to quite a bit. But, some of the tools shown, like the bezel remover, are still very useful for any modder of any skill.

[@jackiecrocifixio297]

I like the explanation,Thanks man! I have a very similar tool kit except for the one you weren't sure of the use and the lubricant.

[@mdunawaym]

I guess 5 years later is too late to win the kit. LOL! Thanks for the info. I'm adding it to my Amazon cart today!

[@MoopyBurn]

Hi, the video was very good and informative, it helped me greatly.

[@magichackerv8]

And how would you remove watch hands with these tools

[@tll2012]

Great Content, I ended up piecemeal my tool set together.

[@denyseaita4061]

HI, I just saw your video. you are a veryhonest and kind man. thank you for all the info

[@joeverywhere6927]

Learning so much from you, pls keep it up👌 Just got my first seiko 5 and would love to learn how to mod it

[@edf2953]

Very informative video. I’m new to this hobby and stumbled across your Channel and have watched a few of your videos. You produce some great content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community. I’m sure you gave away the tool kit, but if it’s still available I would use it to resize a couple of watch bracelets and to start exploring various potential modification projects. As a beginner in the hobby, i only recently purchased my second watch, an Orient Blue Ray 11 which I really enjoy. Anyway thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Ed

[@brianwest1501]

Good work. Thanks

[@blackhawk2475]

Excellent video and very informative.

[@Winningsince95]

Do you have a video on a more advanced tool set?

[@felixlaboy1453]

Great video

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks, nice kit

[@viken9670]

Not sure if you've gotten a response on it yet. But the tool you thought were a handset tool, is actually what I believe a tool to makes extra holes on leather straps. Great and informative video.

[@LumeShot]

Thanks! Realized that much later on and was quite surprised to see it in the kit!

[@KuyaScottD]

I love the videos, please keep them coming! I am just getting into watch modifying and these videos are so helpful! I would love to win the tool kit and I’m sure it would come in handy.

[@latonbuzzard2386]

Awesome, I ordered this kit yesterday on Ebay, looking forward to sizing my new Seiko Mod.

[@masonk.974]

How do you like the set? thinking of ordering for myself

[@latonbuzzard2386]

Mason K Yeh not Bad at all. Obviously it's a DIY kit and ticks that box.

[@amenhotep7704]

Eric, i have to revive the Sellita SW 200-1 movement which suddenly stopped ticking.

[@shahmyncecillesencio]

Fantastic informative video! Keep it up! 👍🥂

[@richardthorn7726]

Great job

[@TheKreattion]

Great Video! Very helpful, thanks!

[@kevintran6346]

Your videos are great dude. (You have my SKX007 rn haha) If I could win that kit, I could clean up a vintage citizen watch I got from online. It has some particulates inside like dust but it works and I love to use it as a nice beater. You inspired me to get a vintage from one of your other videos. It'd be great for maintaining my newly formed humble watch collection.

[@1965simonfellows]

..the kit you show looks to have a loupe but the one on amazon doesnt;is this so please ?

[@DeeD898]

Thanks great video

[@rebot53]

Nice information thanks

[@mattap98]

Great review! Thanks

[@thewindowguy43]

How did it go?

[@maggiealena]

That tool with the hole and slot on the side is a leather tool to make holes in wrist leather bands.

[@aloysiusstaana]

Nice video regarding the tool. Very informative. I would love to have one and start modify all my seiko watch sitting around here and make them look nice again.

[@mrhawk1924]

What would really help if you took out the links and adjusted the watches

[@MoopyBurn]

Hello, do you know if it's possible to upgrade a Seiko SNK809 movement to one that has hack+winding? i miss the winding fuctionality by turning the crown, and was wondering if it could receive a movement upgrade that had that feature.

[@LumeShot]

I have yet to try it on my own, however if the stock crown and stem are removable from each other, it should be possible theoretically.

[@pietrocau4099]

looks like the link in the description brings to a different toolkit

[@kd1irk]

That's what I'm seeing too. This one looks closer. www.amazon.com/dp/B083LV7JYV/?coliid=I1V20DI84D6OWR&colid=OPKH04ED0Q0V&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[@nihatkader1470]

How can I get this toon pleace????

[@nunyabizness199]

There is a link at the top ⬆️

[@nigil7386]

And what about hands remover?

[@binodbhandari8840]

I need from Qatar.

[@Hobby-zn7ce]

The case back tool works well but is flimsy and annoying in its original form, especially the handle. To modify it simply take two small wire ties and loop one into each side of the slot above the handle. This will remove play and create a slight drag when turning the handle. To tighten the front two lugs, disassemble and remove .010" from each spacer. Note: front and rear spacers are different sizes. This mod will lessen the possibility of slipping and scratching the watch back.

[@maggiealena]

And there are many more tools. There are watchmakers lathes, gear machines and others. If you get in to making part you may not be able to get parts for. You will need to make your own custom parts. Machining reccesses, drilling precise holes or making gears Repairing by replacing parts is easy, majing your own frim scratch is not as easy as it sounds. Deference between a master colock and watchmaker and a watch repair persin are two different occupations or hobbies. Some of these tools are antiques. There are only about 6 000 watchmakers left in the world. There are many watch repair people.

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

whats the next kit up

[@tobedetermined4180]

Where was I three years ago!?

[@yudhapratama7363]

You can buy that tools in www.tokopedia.com for just 6 US..go ahead check..thanks anyway form Indonesia Eric for nice video

[@johnbarclay88]

A bit woolly for a precise subject.

[@bernied9415]

You ought to know what each tool is usedfor..not guessing. You get alot of plastic junk..but...something is better than nothing!

[@BarakYaffe]

Hi, thank you for this video, I learned allot! I've just started repairing my old watches and I would very much like to upgrade my skx009 movement, just like you did in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnOnoKmtbbGgg9k , so the tool kit may be a great help for me :)

[@RogueCylon]

It’s not a cheap hobby if you care.
