|J4TM|⭐ Ep.10 - How to upgrade your Seiko movement⭐| 7S26 to NH36 | The Watcher

After a month of reviewing watches, finally got round to modding my Seiko SKX013. Still an ongoing project, needs a new dial and some new hands!

One of the hardest things to do is the hands on the movement. You need to talk us through that aspect because so many other KZbin videos gloss over not only pushing the hands on but how far you need to push them onto the center pivot and where each hand needs to be aligned. And, the most difficult , is the second hand and how it fits on the center pivot. Doing that, in my opinion, would set you apart from other watch channels.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

There will be a detailed vid on hand setting

[@Mannin_Watch_Time]

Very sympathetic upgrades, and very useful walk through of your steps taken. Very encouraging for anyone wanting to try this themselves! Bravo 👏

[@rbmwiv]

Excellent video and very through telling you the basics like this. Awesome watch.

[@paulandrews7622]

Quite informative, if a little hurried. It has definitely taught me one thing and that is I am never going to attempt this, being both "Ham Fisted" & "Short Tempered" LOL. But I enjoyed the video, cheers !!

[@julianb1474]

I'd been trying to install a NH36 movement in a gen1 Monster, and wondered why it stopped when put into the case. Didn't know I needed to swap the retaining rings until I saw this. Now I do. Took everything apart (which is good practice for me), swapped rings fairly easily, and reassembled. Success at last! Thanks for this video.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Brilliant! Love hearing these stories! Glad to have helped

[@kennkingg]

Looks great

[@mariosoberal3342]

the speedy video denotes that you don't want your viewers to learn

[@kengachira]

Once I get my hands on the SNXS79 this is definitely on my to do list

[@paulinvader8428]

nice video, helped me and probably wont do the easy thing which i usually do which is use a dial with day only or no day/date window so i dont have to swap the date wheel :)

[@gotshpilkes]

Great video. I bought a couple of Vostoks to open up and mess around with. The Seiko SNGZ is one of my favorite watches and I'd like to see if I can upgrade the movement in it.

[@rbmwiv]

Great video and i plan on doing this mod to my Seiko SNKK71K1. It has the same movement as the skx and the crown is at 4 so I will have to change the day wheel.

[@Ba_Yegu]

Probably the availability has changed during the time as the NH36 with stem at 3.8 is nowadays readily available and in stock.

[@rbmwiv]

I have that exact silicone desk mat.

[@JogieGlenMait16]

I can't find a reliable supplier of NH35/36 in my country. I will definitely try this kod myself with my 013.

[@geraldmesinaimperial9748]

Is it possible to upgrade the Seiko SNZG15J1 on the NH36 movement?

[@swright5690]

How about something that shows a replacement for the NH35 with something with 70 hours of power reserve? Is there such a thing? Or how to replace an NH35 with a quartz movement so I can have Willard homage that is always showing the correct time?

[@JulioMo]

"Like a boss!"

[@djteeke]

Nice video, is there a way you could upgrade the 7s26 to a v158 solar movement?

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

Yup

[@pengembarayoutube5146]

can i also install on seiko 5 with 7s26a?

[@Wbu]

Nice Video, why did you change the Datedisk? I want to replace a wracked 7s36 with a NH36, do i have to replace the Datedisk as well ?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Due to crown position difference. The 7s are 4pm while the 4rs n nhs are 3.50 . To upgrade a skx007 u need to change day disk. If its going to replace a 3pm crown position then no change req.

[@Wbu]

@@TheWatcherReviews thank you very much...

[@zamSEG]

hello sir, are those aftermarket crown will also fit on skx007 case or they are not swapable?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeah lots will fit

[@danielkoo1329]

Hello. Could you please let me know where can I buy that crown. In ali, most of the crown was for skx007. I wonder if skx013 is as same size as skx007. Thanks for your tutoring.😃

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Skx013 crowns are not common aliex but you can get from independent modding sites like namokies or seikomods

[@Pissinofffrogs]

Does this work on snk803?

[@dodgydruid]

So, if the saying goes where a 7009 can tread a 7S26 can follow, does that mean we could fit a NH36 into a 7009?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Possibly with some modification possibly

[@michaelmueller4704]

I want to replace the 7S36 movement of a SNZH55 with a NH35. Why do I have to replace the stem and crown? Why can I not simply use the old stem and crown? Can someone explain that to me?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Because they are not compatible, the nh35 has a hack and wind function but the 7s doesn't. The stem is slightly different.

[@michaelmueller4704]

@@TheWatcherReviews Thanks for the quick reply. If I got it right I need another type of stem but the same type of crown?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yes

[@Q.Q.]

The key part of the swap is the crown replacement. This "how to" would've been much better if that part hadn't been largely skimped on.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

I think it covered the key points, where to measure, cut and file down and just repeat. Ultimately its a process the modder needs to develop their own knack on. You have to trial and error it. I may need to separate the vids in future to show individual elements in detail

[@GuitaristZep]

what number loctite did you use for the stem?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

I use high tensile but you can use blue/green

[@niclerttanasinchai2952]

I'll upgrade my skx013 to nh36 too.I can use the stock caseback and crown right?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yes to caseback, no to crown

[@niclerttanasinchai2952]

I love those little Finger Condoms😜 Far too small for me of course😮 Got to practice “Safe Modding” though so credit where credit is due and Seeing as this is Lockdown Porn For us minnows of Modding then pass the Rubber Zeb👍 Loving this one Sir as you can never know enough stuff about Watch Mods And this was totally enjoyable!! I now know more Stuff from Zeb the watch Surgeon.👏👏👏👏⌚️ Can you do some Animation with the Rodico and make a Tony Hart Morph out of it as your Assistant🤔anything is possible for the Modders😂 Cracking Tutorial Zeb Sir as Always. Well Done👍Enjoyed this one.🙏

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Cheers Neil, yeh the finger johnnies are great for protection. I can just about record a video nevermind animation haha 😄. Glad you enjoy the videos so much Neil

[@fingerbike2773]

Why change day wheel

[@saxophone.4513]

Have you ever modded an skz atlas?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

No but have modded something with an internal rotation bezel, same thing really

[@amenhotep7704]

I need to do this on my own but i'm scared to fuck up my SKX for the same reason

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Do you know what its not that bad, its very difficult to fuck up. You don't even need to change the movement holder, just chop the extra bits of plastic in the grey nh36 movement holder next to the crown insertion and its a straight fit

[@amenhotep7704]

@@TheWatcherReviews Thank you very much i look forward to upgrade to the NH36.

[@seanman22001]

So.. you reckon that is a real nh36 movement sold from China? They wouldn’t copy it and not say you don’t think…

[@TheWatcherReviews]

No its 100% gen. If u see the fakes you will definitely know the difference. They're not expensive from Seiko and nearly all that are sold frok China are bought from the Seiko Factory in Malaysia.

[@s.c4024]

Windows 😂

[@glenh4971]

Is this supposed to be a tutorial? If you want people to follow what you are doing and to actually learn something you need to record the video in real time. Not in quick time or double time. I shut down the video as soon as I could tell that the quality of the video was so poor. I also gave the video a thumbs down and will continue to do so in the future for video's of this quality. Thanx.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Go for it mate i have no issuse. This is the first time ive made a vid so thorough so still working out how to record it and show it best.

[@bruces12]

@@TheWatcherReviews Why don't you ask Glenn H, if he's being so critical, to make a KZbin video himself...then he can see how hard it is to do these in real time. You (The Watcher) have done an excellent job on presenting something that is very difficult to show and I applaud you for that.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

@@bruces12 yeh it is difficult to show it in a time where people will pay attention too. Its always good hearing criticism too so I dont mind that. Thank you for the positive comms too. I will try n split the vids more

[@alfredklek]

I'm planning a movement swap on my snk381k (shattered crystal, effed 7s26). I thought your pace and level of insight was pretty spot on. You told me what I needed to know quickly and without BS. I like being told a story but I don't need to be told how to use a file.

[@pentachronic]

You can slow it down on YT if that’s your preference. Don’t rag on someone for producing content that’s useful.
