Rather than building from scratch, I started with one watch and swapped dial, hands, and strap. That was my first project, and I had the confidence that even if I screwed up, I had something to go back to. After the first project, I did more from scratch projects. Great video, and I wish I had seen it before my first project.

Just a little tip from an old metalbasher, if you have to cut the stem to length, I suggest getting a crown or nut that will screw all the way past where you want your cut to be, then proceed with the cut and file the face flat, You then unscrew the nut and it will remove any burrs on the stem, making it easier to fit the new crown.
@JxH
@JxH 6 жыл бұрын
I did exactly that. It was the size M1.2 for the watch stem in the ST36xx / 6947 movement that I used. I just happen to have purchase a wee feisty collection of tiny screws and nuts ($5) from eBay, and the required size nut (M1.2) was in the set. It did help to straighten out the threads after chopping the stem.

In 2024 I ordered similar parts. I ordered the same case in rose Gold and the same appearing movement. I ordered a black pilots watch style dial that came with the correct hands. Finding a strap with a rose Gold buckle was difficult especially considering I have large wrists and wanted an extra long strap. Even if I could use a standard length strap in the last hole I hate how the end keeps falling out of the keeper. I got the pilots watch style dial and hands because I wanted the luminous feature to read the watch at night. The case retailer said the case water resistance is 3 ATM but seeing that there are no rubber seals I think I will be taking this off to wash my hands. Thanks for the video. I was already subscribed. I have build several NH35 watches but this will be my first ETA / ST movement watch. I like the big dial so I can read the time without my glasses and as I mentioned, with my large wrists I can pull it off comfortably. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video. Because of this video, I've assembled a Parnis-style watch based on the ST36xx 6497 movement. It took quite a while (several months) to get all the necessary parts and a minimum set of watch tools together. Amusingly, the watch ended up costing more than a similar Parnis watch fully assembled (probably about $100 compared to $51 for one already built), but the learning experience was well worth it. The customization was nice too (e.g. black PVD case). My difficulties included installing the Second Hand (took me an hour, LOL!!) and the two movement clamps and screws (took me another hour, LOL). I'll probably do it again (6498 maybe), and then I might try yet another time with a genuine Swiss ETA movement. Great fun. Thank you Mark.

@jonathanobrien1058 6 жыл бұрын
Mark, I am a massive fan of your work, and taught myself how to do this. There are an abundance of cases and dials out there and the other 2 popular movements are the ETA 2824 (or seagull ST2130) and the Miyota 8215 (or DG 2813). These are automatic and also have a range of hands/dials/cases for them.If you buy a plain dial, you can even use tiny railway modelling transfers to 'sign' it. It takes a lot of patience and good loupe but it can be done. I did this and built a good passing resemblance to a Rolex Submariner for under £150, its waterproof and is my own brand and after 'running in' and regulating is surprisingly accurate (ST2130).After this video, everyone will be doing it!

When you assembled the watch the crown was at the 3:00 position, which makes me think you're using a 6498. Guidance would be helpful since I'm looking to purchase my components soon!

Some useful tips there, Mark. I've spent more time messing around with hands then almost anything else when putting watches together (and that included the building of movements) ! There are some pretty poor quality hands out there that tend not to "grip" properly and end up falling off. I think that are made of very soft metal.

He is talking about the "bump" at the opposite side of the crown. A minute repeater is often a button that looks like that "bump" which has to be pushed up or down in order to let the movement let the current time sound through bells. Quite an expensive complication if you are looking to get such a watch.

It would be nice to find how to make an 18 ct yellow gold waterproof men's watch with sapphire crystal, 36mm diameter case, minimal depth, doměd dial, luminescent hands, golden upright arabic numerals, bold date display, hacking highly accurate automatic movement and fine black leather strap. It would amount to building a classy timepiece that would be so good that it shouldn't require a famous house's name on or price to it. But would that be practicable?

That watch movement looks identical to the movement in my Regent Hills Chinese pocket watch. My watch is very accurate by the way.

I've always wanted to start a mechanical watch company with custom design hands and a custom watch face but i don't have the money nore the knowledge plus the price of each watch would exceed 500$ and most people don't want to spend more than a couple hundred dollars on a watch most people rather have quartz over mechanical watches because of price and function I'm a strong fan of weiss and the kits that come from esslinger

it's very nice, but i found that you can buy a much cheaper watch on Aliexpress with all this parts already together. when i tried to make it custom it was much more expensive.

Mark Your timing is excellent as I am just at the assembly stage of such a project. Very useful, thank you. I have read on the net that some of these cheap movements are not adequately oiled and should be stripped and oiled first. Is this unnecessary? Very happy to do so if you feel it is worthwhile Thanks David

Seagull movements aren't oiled because of how cheap they are and there's honestly no need. The movement he has is the 6497 clone and it'll run decently.

This isn't really "custom". The likelihood if you find parts that all match together is that they are probably already matched together as a watch model in China, or something so very incredibly close to it is. When I think custom I think made to your specifications, not a five mix and match parts which you have very little control over having look the way you actually want put together. For example, if you wanted a custom red and black 38mm watch with your initials monogrammed on the dial(tacky? sure), you're pretty much screwed unless some Chinese watxh company has your initials and by the grace of God you find all of the parts in black and red in a style you like that also happen to fit together.

Martin J True but he did make it clear that it was using parts from ebay and d you'd be building your own. I suppose it's not custom in it's proper form but I thought it described the video fine. It is custom to an extent, and that includes the strap.

i agree, this project is essentially a waste of time. i just sunk an hour into scouring the entire web to see if i could create anything even remotely close to the seiko sark011 or one of its lesser complicated variants. there's practically nothing on the market in terms of dials as separate parts even when considering dagaz, offrei, and a few other specialized sellers. while the movements are available, and there are some very cool cases, the dials are just not out there except totally uninspired blandness at least for dress watches and chronos. meh...

They sell parts kits that fit Citizen, Seiko, and ETA movements, cases, hands, crown, etc. There is a website where you can assemble a watch from your choice of a parts. A good one will cost around $300.

Just bought a 6497 for 35 bucks and got a case with display back, dial and hands for 42.00 dollars. Making it look like a pilot watch.
This Rolex Oyster from eBay could have been destroyed so easily.
