That red-tipped second hand is perfection.

[@cseivard]

Thanks a ton. I am recovering from a stroke. ( lived.) if my left hand, currently paralyzed, starts to work, I resolve to fix/mod all that I own.

[@jonasfoellner5279]

To be honest, I don’t watch watch content on KZbin for entertainment often but your videos are an exception. I really enjoy you’re narration style and personality. All in all a great channel.

[@markfung5654]

Thank you. Really enjoying your content.

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

I think the RED tip on the sweep hand and the hand style looks really cool! The classic Seiko Diver's hands with the needle pointer aids with precision and accuracy and maximum legibility... This is very important to diver where poor light and turbid water make it a challenge to read dive time easily! For any other purpose, it still helps a lot being able to read the exact time. Loving this beautiful watch with the sunburst blue dial!!

[@TheFeelcreative]

Already one of my favorite channels! Looking forward to more videos, well done!

[@97JoMiller]

I absolutely love how this looks... goes it's time for me to try to price out this build and see if I have the budget to do it right now 🙂 And after looking it up, looks like they sell ones already put together cheaper than buying all the parts to build it.

[@Simplifier123]

My friend I really enjoyed watching this video and your last one! The editing and quality is very good and very entertaining :) I also liked the music very much. Looking forward for more content from you!

[@rorybannon]

I really like it. The signed crown and clasp. Super nice

[@marclafferty6416]

I rounded off the crown guards on my skx years ago. Best thing I ever did that watch is soo comfortable now. I was bought a seiko 5 srpd for my birthday and haven’t done it yet. Feel bad as it was a present

[@ethielurrea]

Damn, just found your channel a few days ago and i saw all your videos already. The quality fo your edition and the way you present everything man this is superb, new sub who also love watches!!

[@christopherjefferson3561]

so glad to find this as my skx 009 needs a new movt as my dad so badly magnetised it to twhere the hairspring tangled up. upgrading movt to NH36

[@GUE891]

I find it absurd that in such a delicate instrument it is as precious as a watch you have to force yourself almost with a chisel and mallet to separate the bezel from the case

[@RM-el3gw]

great job. That dial is SPECTACULAR!

[@override39]

watching in 2022 nice build and really stunning good job

[@longnetter]

Nice job looks great. Just bought an SSK003 GMT love the blue colouring.

[@camarocarl7130]

Great Vid and very nice looking SKX. Cheers for posting Mate! I enjoyed having a butchers.

[@cky80]

keep the vids coming Dan! your awesome and the vids are entertaining!

[@tiempoconedd5634]

Cool video! Very easy to follow!! Thanks! Oh and the “second” second hand looks better with the red tip, so that happend for a reason 😙

[@tarasmathers7423]

love the content your putting out. I simply cant believe you haven't blown up yet. You will....believe me, word gets around in the watch community quick, and with the quality of your editing it's inevitable. I'm rootin for ya.....

[@raulcantus8072]

Excellent video, lovely narrative and great images. I´ve already suscribed. Thanks

[@jonathanobrien1058]

I built a 007 with green hands in a cheap case with steel bezel insert. I sold it and now miss it! I thought the end result was pretty nice, especially on the jubilee

[@barrypanaretou9124]

Best SKX I have ever seen!

[@Tom_H327]

I've watched this videos about once a week for the last 2 months or so. I want to build this watch at some point. 😂 I don't have an SKX, but want one. And it seems the only way to get one is to build it myself.

[@e_d_v_a_u_s]

Thank you for posting this, it was very helpful!

[@elmacho7561]

Awesome artisanal work!

[@ItsPaulsChannel]

Just subbed. You deserve wayyy more subscribers. Great video

[@borb3049]

For some reason the dial in the beginning and at the end seem to look different, I really liked the way it looked in the beginning of the video, seemed glossy and flat but at the end it looked just like a regular seiko dial

[@terryaustin7140]

That looks really good, too bad that the jubilee didn't work. That second hand does look really nice.

[@amiraworld9610]

Very good video

[@TheDarrionChannel]

In theory, this case could be used to make a 45 degree dial watch? Somewhat of a Vacheron Historiques American 1921 homage

[@ferdfurby7206]

Love your videos, thanks for all the great content. Do you know if the Steeldive 1996 homage will use the same size sapphire (31.5)?

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Awesome video, super high quality production! 👌 The watch turned out beautiful! Curious how much a build like this would cost?

[@watchwordinside]

Very beautiful !

[@chrisbrock9423]

Great videos,I just subscribed. Where did you get the dial??

[@amenhotep7704]

Very great video, i watched many others of your channel. What i wanna know is when you press down the crystal into the case how do you know it is properly installed ? Is there a noise, a click ?

[@briangeorge7965]

Great video.

[@ElCanalDelPadrino]

Just great!

[@GUE891]

Could you make a video showing how to remove the bezel from the case  

[@muliasiem]

So good 👍👍👍

[@w.guedes4798]

Por Favor Qual o diâmetro destes relógios sem a corôa? 42mm???? Existem diâmetros maiores??? Obrigado!

[@eriyanaeri7027]

Very good, from Indonesia

[@rioriggs3568]

HELP : Bezel problem with an SKX homage (Aliexpress) It was a real bitch to pop out, finally did it but now it remains lose and falls off. It kind of snaps back in but doesn't remain in place. I tried with a press and it still falls off. It's like the bezel inner ring went from way to small to way to big for the case. What can I do?

[@RassBrass]

The bezel is better aligned than the real Seiko

[@adrianelsner4936]

Super

[@subimaginos]

Doesn't it need csee clips to attach movement to the case?

[@intezamable]

Subscribed, try to make more videos

[@GUE891]

[@jonathanobrien1058]

I Rotico a bit like Rodico?

[@zacharykaloustian9022]

Great video! I couldn't find that particular dial with that sunburst effect. Any recommendations on where to find it elsewhere?

[@sebf3737]

Where is the best place to get OE-Style aftermarket dials like the one you used here?

[@osark2487]

There is hope for the SKX. How much for one?

[@mattworley7043]

Any links for the dial? Want a black one but don't fancy paying 60 quid for oem

[@user-nz1qu5ff5u]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fokinwladimir376]

can you build a vostok Amphibia

[@jimcombs9121]

I can only assume the chapter ring had adhesive used which was not mentioned, otherwise with the second markers on that ring it could move and show out of alignment?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

The chapter rings have a bump underneath them at the 12 position that aligns with a notch on the case to keep it aligned. Apologies for not mentioning it here. I guess I've mentioned it in other videos and I figured I also mentioned it here, but it seems I didn't. You can see the notch in the case around 6:05 .

[@jimcombs9121]

@@ItsAnotherWatch The chapter ring for the 1 watch I have modded did not have a 12oclock notch but also is all black no notches. Makes sense now. Thanks!

[@emdblues]

I've just found about your channel and I'm binging :D. How much for this watch?! :D

[@andrei-cosmin.popa85]

What's your upcoming projects, if you don't mind sharing? 😅

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

For the moment, a simple Dial and Hand swap for a SNZH55 to make a Fifty Five Fathoms, and an Orange Planet Ocean SKX build with either a SARY057 dial or a Stargate SRP495 Dial (if i can get hold of one for a reasonable price). I'm also planning on changing the watch from this video to a SBDC051 dial and 62MAS Hands. I may also do a Submariner style SKX013 build in the future, but these builds aren't cheap to do unfortunately.

[@andrei-cosmin.popa85]

@@ItsAnotherWatch waiting for a dial to complete my Tudor Snowflake Sub 9411 homage project. Good look with yours and I'm looking forward to watching those videos 😎 I'm especially interested in that 38mm sub. I reckon it would feel and look awesome in a thinner case, tho.

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 Yeah, its more to try out building an SKX013 and seikomods.com has all the parts right here in the UK for convenience. That and I already built a two-tone gold Submariner with an NH36 in a sub case (albeit a cheap case) and I quite like the chunkyness of the SKX's. I've also thought about doing a Tudor Blackbay build myself, so I hope yours goes well!

[@markojamesdimen7238]

total cost?

[@thewatchzealot]

What's that green sticky putty that you use?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

Its called Rodico, its made by BERGEON.

[@Ed30675]

Like a lot..

[@honkyxadonis]

Make more videos please

[@LeeePowers]

Do you sell these watches you build as a side or main business?

[@ghizlaneazedad7970]

❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@zidane2081]

hello mate, how much cost for this project? thanks for sharing, love this

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

All in it was around £280. Here's a list of the parts and their prices: Case £46 (one second closer) NH36 (with black date wheels) £44 (AliExpress) MM300 Bezel £29 (NamokiMods) Aftermarket SKX Dial £35 (eBay) Skx007 Chapter Ring £15 (eBay) But this is the same price for NamokiMods versions Flat Sapphire Crystal £11 (AliExpress) Crown (+stem) £20 (NamokiMods) Skx Hands £7.80 (eBay) (I got these from my Heimdallr mod but this is how much they are currently on eBay) Bezel Insert £12 (eBay) (I got these from my Heimdallr mod but this is how much they are currently on eBay) Case Back £25 (£12 for plain one) Had to replace the cheap £10 one I used in this video for one that works with the NH36 grey spacer from Crystal Times) Bracelet £35 (eBay) If you need to buy gaskets separately it might increase the cost a bit more, NamokiMods do a set of gaskets and click spring for £16. But if you were to get the case parts from them you'll get the gaskets included.

[@elmacho7561]

Total price bro?

[@dozhouse]

Robert deniro????

[@GRAFHC]

Wow, very nice work! I can't locate that dial anywhere, do you have a source? Thanks!

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

Try searching "SKX007 NH36A Movement Super C3 Luminous Watch Dial" on eBay. They still pop up.

[@GRAFHC]

@@ItsAnotherWatch Excellent... found them. Thank you SO much! Again, excellent work. Just subbed.

[@educamacho76]

Very Nice ?

[@SilentCanary]

Do you build these?

[@rmartin6914]

Do you have a link for your tools?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

They're all pretty generic tools to be honest. If you search "Watch Crystal Press" on amazon the red one is the one I have. I'm pretty sure they're all the same thing. The hand press tools are just cheap ones I got on eBay and the rest of my tools are in a generic watch tools kit you can buy on ebay or amazon. And the most important tool of all... RODICO.

[@rmartin6914]

@@ItsAnotherWatch thanks for the response mate! I always hear people say cheap tools are not worth it but then again they always have affiliate links for expensive tools lol. Absolutely beautiful watch!

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

It'll only let me watch in 360p for some reason :(

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

The video is still processing HD for the moment, HD should be available within the hour, and hopefully 4K will be available soon too.

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

@@ItsAnotherWatch Awesome, I'll come back and watch again in 4k as your camera work is great. I picked up one of those £35 Seiko engraved jubilees for my SKX from eBay too, luckily mine was faultless, hopefully your gets sorted soon as they're a cracking deal at that price. Also I think the red tipped second hand looks really good, works well with the red text on the dial.

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

@@Huwberts_Emporium I'm glad you agree! (about the second hand). Good to hear that you got the same bracelet without problems. It gives me more hope that the one I had was just a defective piece. I got the replacement bracelet today, and I haven't been able to replicate the issue so I think I'm in the clear, but time will tell. If it holds up though, it really is a great bracelet for the price!
