What a fantastic gift

[@arrivingarriving5166]

A big thank you here for making this video, as although I already own an SKX007, you've created a beautiful watch that's improved on the original and inspired me to make my own homage, not only because it'll have the (better looking in my view) brushed titanium case, but also because it'll have the NH36 movement. My parts are on order now - thanks again! UPDATE: I've now assembled my watch, the titanium case is well-finished and looks good, plus with a green dial from the same supplier I think the finished watch looks better to my eyes than my SKX007. The biggest improvement however, is the NH36A movement as it hacks and can be wound. All in all, it's shown me that it's not too difficult to make yourself an SKX007 homage that you'd prefer. Some would argue it's better to use a sterile non Seiko branded dial and I can understand that view, but as I'm not going to sell it and it looks better... Anyway, thanks again for your video!

👍

[@holgermuller3597]

Nice video, thanks for that! I don´t measure the stern. I just mark it with an Edding; it is more precise in my opinion. Your result is a really nice watch, congratulation! 👍👍👍

nice dial

[@a_lucientes]

Im a million I couldnt do this... which is sad I love watch-making and repair,,, but my hands are just way too shake :( - at least I can enjoy the watches and the work of others.

[@marcussmith2798]

Thank you for the video, that's a very nice watch. The character on the wheel is 四 Chinese for 4 or Thursday. You have inspired me to mod my heimdallr skx homage that I bought a couple of years back. Just confirming that the titanium case you are using is the same as the heimdallr skx right?

[@Heikos-Watches]

Yes, the case back has the heimdallr branding.

no lumibrite?

[@alanwalker3915]

Quick question, your dial has SEIKO on it, but the dial on aliexpress does not (show this) did the dial have SEIKO on it when it arrived or did you stick that on? Great video by the way, I have always wanted an SKX 077 and if I have to make my own, so be it :) I am going to start buying the parts now you have provided a part list. I think I will stick with the black dial for that classic SKX look :) Thank you.

[@alanwalker3915]

Sorry, just noticed this in the description: The dial is shipped with S... LOGO . My bad.

[@Heikos-Watches]

It had Seiko on it when it arrived.

[@kimkristensen417]

Hi, don't know if you can help, got a NH36-3.8 crown, but can't find a dial 33.5 mm, do you think you can help ?

[@Heikos-Watches]

Sorry, I just saw your comment. It is tough sometimes to find the right parts. I have had good luck on AliExpress.

[@arthurchu2224]

Could you share detail model name of each parts? It was supposed to buy on ebay right?

[@Heikos-Watches]

All the links to AliExpress listings are in the description. I just verified that the links are still up to date. Enjoy the build.

[@SamuraiRokerolle]

I state that I love to see these assemblies in general that stimulate me to try my construction ... but is it legal to do this?

[@Heikos-Watches]

If you don't try to sell it as the authentic item you will be fine.

[@florianmaul9983]

Does the bezel use Click Spring as Seiko?

[@Heikos-Watches]

It uses a spring, I am not if it is exactly the same as Seiko.
