I Built My Dream Watch From AliExpress (and how you can too!)

[@edmerpaulubongen9514]

Ignore the hater and the so called critics, it looks good and at the end of the day it’s just a watch no matter how costly or inexpensive it is as long as it can tell the time and is satisfactory to you then all is well. Great job man

[@GodTierWatches22]

@edmerpaulubongen9514 yeah don't worry, I'm not butthurt, just find it interesting how people have to comment so much negativity when it's just a watch hahaha it's not that deep! Thank you for watching and I appreciate the comment my friend!

I recently also completed my very first watch build. If you're planning to do more of those I recommend a movement holder to keep any unnecessary pressure off of the movement when pressing in the hands. If you have access to a 3d printer it's pretty easy to print one of those.

[@GodTierWatches22]

@SirZechs77 thanks for the recommendation!

[@KathernClary]

Love MAMACOO watch， Such a great looking watch to match with the precisionist movement.

[@imaginekarma8582]

With the seconds hand, I recommend getting right down to eye level with the movement so you can see the pinion. It helps me tremendously when installing the seconds hand.

[@GodTierWatches22]

yeah after I had to reinstall the hands I had a much better time and just used rotico and the hand press tool and worked like a charm!

[@Ageratos01]

Great watch great build! I recently built my first watch (Yatch Master 2 Homage) it took me around 3 hours as well and the same issue with the second hand took the longest to do. The amount of words that flew around the room and minor rage quits I got it on. One thing I will say that I wasnt aware of the NH35 has a little cap to protect the second hands stem that needs to be removed, I didn't realise until something small fell off and when I tried to set it again it went straight on. I hope that helps someone here.

[@TheIMobile]

A good tip I was shown is when you’re ready to install the second hand press the crown in and get it running. I use rodico to hold the hand some use tweezers rest it on the pinion if the hand moves around you know you got it on then use the hand press to fit it

[@McvoyBednarczyk]

I like the watch I got from MAMACOO. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.

Loved it. Appreciate your efforts brother.

[@xten93]

Great build man!! it looks stunning.. i had the problem with the hands clashing with each other.. had to open and aligned and scratching the dials and hands haha.. decided to leave the scratches as a momento that it was my 1st watch build.. will build a new one with better skills haha.. how bout building a GMT next? hehe

[@GodTierWatches22]

yeah you just have to make sure they are alligned straight and don't scratch against each other. possibly a gmt or a diver!

[@SalamonBauzek]

MAMACOO is a must for me as a watch collector

[@stanislavp1739]

I am not really a watch guy, but I saw this interesting Daytona chronograph design, where they have transparent only three small chronograph dials. I wonder is it even possible to find a dial like that?

[@zamSEG]

hello sir, cool mod! really like it. love that hands set a lot! hope to see more videos like this. any chances on vh31 movement watch build near future perhaps. 👍😍🔥

[@GodTierWatches22]

@@GodTierWatches22 i do hope it will become true from your channel. all the best sir! i'm planning on doing it too, but still waiting all the parts to arrived.

[@GodTierWatches22]

@@zamSEG why do you like vh31 movement? is it the 4 tick per second yet being so accurate?

[@zamSEG]

@@GodTierWatches22 i like quartz that ticks like autos. the accuracy is just a bonus. it's lighter.

[@adnankazi2215]

I would love to see you making tissot prx witg same as original

[@danieljennings9015]

How does the quality of the parts compare to watches from aliexpress, like a San Martin? Do those companies use these kind of parts or are they not up to the same quality of the brands?

[@GodTierWatches22]

@danieljennings9015 I would say the level of finishing for the parts is less than san martin, the case feels not the best and would need to purchase the best. the bracelet feels a bit sharp however, as far as the dial, hands and movement goes, it's the same I would say

[@youpluman]

Hey Koto, it looks pretty neet, Congrats!! I'll love to make my own sterile piece but didnt find yet a case under 12mm to fit in a NH movement. Drop me a pill to choose one under 12mm for my vintage thin king seiko 1970s style watch. ❤

[@GodTierWatches22]

Hi! Thanks for watching, i think this case is really nice for your build! Good luck! s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mO4zUDQ

sorry the other one was above 12mm in thickness but this one is at 12mm thickness for the 36mm version! s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_msMqdmk

[@NYGOLD]

You know you just made a fake. LOL it looks great!!!! I just completed my first watch build a few months ago and the seconds hand was a bitch. It to me 45 minutes to get it on and yes I broke one. That tiffany blue dial is stunning.

[@GodTierWatches22]

i wanted a sterile dial 😪 its okay, my next build will be sterile, the seconds hand don't want to budge until you have a tantrum and come back afterwards haha! thank you for watching

bro how much did it cost?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? you never said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckiest guy getting a bootleg GS dial. people that won't know think you own a $6000 watch now. I'm jealous of you hahah

@FlemishW hahaha there are surprisingly some gs dials on aliexpress jsut rare. I didn't intend to get the gs logo

[@FlemishW]

@@GodTierWatches22 they took it offline due to obvious illegality. just lucky you got it before they took it down, or the customs destroying it.

[@evgen5647]

No, because people who know something about watches know it's not GS. And people who know nothing about watches, they just don't care.

[@tuberaider]

AliExpress accepts returns, so you really didn't need to build it using a fake GS dial. There are literally dozens of other dials to pick. Just saying...

[@GodTierWatches22]

Well I didn't want to wait any longer for returns 😕 but I understand, my next build will be sterile!

[@cougarbatterie]

Looks cheap, especially the fluted bezel. When it is too shiny, it doesn't look luxurious at all. I get it why people to this. They don't have the money to buy the real thing and the joy and pride that it brings in building their own watch, but at the end of the day, it is a fake and you're just kidding yourself and others! Believe me you'll get a lot more satisfaction and pride wearing the real deal by buying a 250$ Seiko watch even in quartz, with a shitty bracelet and hardlex crystal but at least you know it is a real not a fake! Cheating will end up screwing your mind.

[@GodTierWatches22]

@cougarbatterie I appreciate your honesty mate, I agree the shininess adds a bit of tackiness but I honestly like the overall build. what matters for a watch is what it means to you, no one else cares. let alone regular people don't care. it's just a piece that should only solely matter to you. you buy it and make it because you like it. just be true to who you are and what alligns with you. I wouldn't ever buy an outright fake because that doesn't allign with me, by building it adds a memory and value to me and I just don't treat it the same as a fake :) wear what you want at the end of the day man, your opinion is your opinion

[@GodTierWatches22]

@cougarbatterie honestly mate it's not a justification I'm happy with it man, I couldn't care less about what you think. If you don't like the build, keep moving about your day. It's not a major deal. I also mentioned that I didn't know there would be a gs logo on it. I don't wear it as a joy and pride as a grand seiko because it's not. it's just a watch build. I post videos because I share my experience and there are people who enjoy the content. if you don't enjoy it, please be my guest and you don't have to watch the videos. I will enjoy the build thank you, hope you have a good day 👍
