Hey brother I’m a new subscriber and I’m telling you from a fellow KZbinr, this is top notch…the ease of delivery with information, the flow to the video, the lighting, editing, macro shots, all of it man 🤙 I dig it 🇺🇸🦅

[@dtoddh3513]

Bottle cap movement holder FTW. Nice tip, makes it a lot easier to place the movement in the case.

[@RacerX0380]

Nice tutorial. I really appreciate the detail and the fact you keep your fingers from blocking my view!

[@joejoemarker]

Man..just subscribed to your channel, this video really helpful for newbie like me...its clear, detail, straight to the point yet comprehensive, now i have courage to mod my watch. Thank you 😀🙏👍.

[@joelyoung9519]

Nice SKX! Another cheap tool to add to your arsenal would be a chop stick run through a pencil sharpener. It's great for the crown release, moving hands, etc. when you don't want to risk damaging anything. And it's free!

[@dnalekaw4699]

What about the tiny wood splinters?

[@Mikesmeyer88]

Why would you suggest that? I swear people say stuff just to sabotage others. Not sure why he wouldn't just use pegwood as that's the actual tool watchmakers use. Mostly for cleaning and doesn't splinter much.

[@scotts5055]

The bevel on the crystal plays well with the overall appearance. Very nice

[@migfed]

Great video as usual mate. In the next videos it would be a good idea to explain the main difference between white lume and the other a bit greenish/yellowish one. I bought a homage MM300 with white lume, it looks great with the white markers on the dial but is not as shinny as my homage captain Willard yellowish/greenish ones. Lovely channel, cheers

[@serdalkaptan]

Very good video. Very clear video, very well explained. Especially no soldering dial attaching is very nice and easy. Thank you very much.

[@jorgenavarro2623]

Congratulations Your videos have an excellent content and your knowledge on the matter is superb. I would like to give my old seiko 7009 and citizen 8200 new looks since i believe such good movements do not deserve being taken apart and forgotten. Any video on such watches will be highly appreciated

[@pompeylad1977]

What a fantastic video, I thoroughly enjoyed that and the commentary was great, fully explained each procedure in a clear and refreshing way, cheers mate, it’s certainly give me encouragement to change the hands on my SKX, I’ve done bezel/insert and crystal changes but now I want to up my game on another SKX, thanks very much 👍🏻

[@raulcantus8072]

I really love it. It´s great. I will build mine too. Thanks

[@gary1739]

Thanks for the great video. I now know I can do this!!

[@kenamaro3942]

Came out really nice.

[@mitchlaspina8895]

This channel is awesome!

[@pedromsricarte]

Great tutorial! the original mod you had there with the omega hands was far more interesting to my taste (Though I know you change things around for the fun and for the channel)... Keep it going!!

[@fischziege]

Love my Samurai, great choice for a dial. The hands are a bit dim, I have the same complaint with a recent build that I'm otherwise in love with.

[@gwfranklin1]

Brilliant video!

[@idealmethod]

good job real nice watch

[@jeanma2104]

Lovely jubbly

[@davemck1887]

Great result.

[@Niamhcotts]

Great job sir.

[@subimaginos]

Great work! Why did you remove the legs of the dial and taped it on the movement?

[@Mikesmeyer88]

Obviously he doesn't know how to solder, these seiko modders do the weirdest stuff. Itll spin back when it gets cold. People who use them don't care about craft of watchmaking they just want to show off their Chinese dial and hands inside a japanese/ chinese watch case is what it seems like.

[@armandorios4032]

Brother I wonder if you can show us how to put together a automatic movement watch with a chronograph compilation? 🤔 I would really appreciate something like that.

[@shajeevranjan1492]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@luisdelgadillo4308]

Excelent !!!!!!

[@VenerableYorge]

R E M A R K A B L E ! ! !

[@meizuc9504]

Seiko should learn from you how to fix their misalignment issue 😅

[@hardbein]

Great video and nice mod. Where did you source that worksurface? Looks really nice!

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

My Desk: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KG4VRBK/ The Teal/Blue Silicone Mat: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SDMHYXF/ Wow... looking up my desk again (Not even a year since I bought it) and its almost HALVED in price. I feel cheated.

[@hardbein]

@@ItsAnotherWatch Thanx for the info!

[@woopwoopiii]

where'd you get the smp hands from, pls?? :)

[@TheIronDuke9]

I'm sorry 3:36 - there's a little lever? Where? I'm poking around I can't find any lever and can't really see where the lever is

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

Take a look at this picture here, I've circled it for you. imgur.com/a/BlHMoXV Make sure the stem is pressed in fully in order for it to be visible. If the stem is pulled out to either the date change or time set setting it will recess into the movement. It only shows when the crown is pushed in.

[@TheIronDuke9]

@@ItsAnotherWatch Ok thank you - I didn't have the stem pressed in fully so that was the problem - thank you for the quick response, your video is excellent otherwise!

[@Rasukix]

where my SKX 013 gang @?

[@Mikesmeyer88]

Kind of a horrible way to attach the dial, kind of shit to me. Like turning the dial with the 3m adhesive is just a bad idea. It will probably turn back, and different temperatures are going to effect it. I can't believe this is how most people attach dials.

[@carlosprieto4580]

Nice job
