Let's do some modding!!

[@3rdstone1]

Always nice with modding videos, never too many of them lol. Great idea with the Alpinist dial, quite unique mod IMHO.

[@alixrza3107]

Hit the mark with them mods mate, absolutely brilliant. That baby tuna is awesome 👍👍

[@timeandnourishment1961]

The Alpinist dial mod is a thing of beauty. I like Maikes straps too. Thanks for this, and have a great week!

[@ramspencer5492]

To be fair though. The alchemist is a homage much older design.... Just adding the inner rotating bezel. Same design as the Oris big crown pointer date. Spacing out the name of it. But it's a classic.

[@davebowman1982]

I'm completely on board with this. My eBay is full of watched old seikos, solely for harvesting them for their components to use in mods. Love it 😀 🙌🏻

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeh definitely, you can create some unique pieces with vintage charm

[@lpblade7]

That alpanist is spot on, great work!

[@michaelperry9261]

I love a good mod & that was a good mod!. Keep them coming & thanks for the links.

[@paulandrews7622]

Great job !! The watch looks spot on. I'm off to pull me Rolex apart LOL

[@ramspencer5492]

Cool mod. Glad you went with the stop light second hand.

[@bettyroutledge1997]

Thank you for that have been a massive fan of all your modding downloads you have taught me so much nice to see you go back to your profession professor and yes love building watches if I don't get that watch on eBay totally into early Seiko quartz thanks for your content

[@snzbar]

great mod, nice option for a small baby alpinist, probably should call it the new born alpinist

[@Sizzle_Bear]

Love the modding reviews especially the sarb037 one

[@dunderhay9169]

Interesting video, and a nice end result 👍

[@michaelj8793]

Long overdue my friend but well worth the wait I really appreciate your mod videos I have learned a ton I'm not even a s proficient as you are but yes I am getting much better thanks to all your mod content I've only destroyed a couple that I'll admit to I have a 62 MAS in progress at the time of this video I'll let you know how that actually turns out just waiting on the black and gold dial to arrive Thanks as always Stay Frosty my friend 👍

[@ifti]

Dial on the baby tuna mod is so clean! Alipinist mod looks good on the brown leather. I've been looking for more cheap SNX on eBay lol

[@rioriggs3568]

Great stuff as usual!!! Wow, where did you get the Seiko Alpinist dial?

[@cecilyau4440]

It’s about time, Zeb! 😁. I’ve seen all your tutorials, so this talk through was perfect. I have several Seiko 5’s that I want to upgrade to NH35/6, but it was getting a compatible crown for the NH stem that has always stopped me. But now I know what to look for! Incidentally, in the past, I have downgraded to a 7S36 since I had a day-date dial but no NH36 handy. Fortunately, the 7S movement can use a NH stem. Like new software, the NH stems are apparently backward compatible to 7S 👍😁.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

I dont think the stems are backwards compatible u know, i have checked it

[@cecilyau4440]

@@TheWatcherReviews Hmm . . . that’s weird. I swapped in a 7S day-date movement in a NH36 watch (needed the NH36 movement for another build). I kept the NH36 crown and stem untouched, and it locks into the movement and adjusts the day/date and time without a problem. I decided to try it because I thought I read somewhere that the NH stem works in 7S movements. Maybe I’m just lucky 👍😁

[@TheWatcherReviews]

@@cecilyau4440 yea that's right but not the other way round

[@cecilyau4440]

@@TheWatcherReviews Got it. We’re on the same page. And yeah, the only reason I downgraded from a NH36 to a 7S36 is because that’s all I had, and I wanted to use the NH somewhere else. Maybe I should just start keeping an inventory of NH35/6 in my watch mod drawer like you 😉👍😁

[@TheWatcherReviews]

@@cecilyau4440 yeh you should keep a few, they're not that expensive now and specially before some other BS makes them go up. £25 on some stores on ali

[@andyholton7959]

Grate modding 👌🏻 and wot a beauty 🙌

[@kengachira]

I'm generally afraid to mod watches but these videos certainly make it look less intimidating

[@georgezachariadis2338]

Looking good. Is automatic citizen promaster an option to mod or are aftermarket dials and hands for them scarce? Thanks and great job 👍

[@felo6035]

Fantastic work Zee, and many thanks for sharing. Truly incredible work and brilliant results. Love the final product! Do you do mods for other folks for a fee? Thank you again and have a wonderful day my friend 👍

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeah i do some work for people wanting to mod

[@felo6035]

@@TheWatcherReviews Thank you Zee, that's great to know. Appreciate you letting me know.

Great stuff, where do you get the Seiko dials? Can you also share the lumeshots of the aftermarket dials.

[@stephenhuber1079]

Awesome mods!

[@alexprendido2023]

Im starting into modding, i just bought the dial, hands and movement. I already had the case.

[@Echpochmak88]

Nice mod, thanks 👍

[@borisstepanyan9611]

Great

I’d be curious to see if this dial would fit on an Ali watch like one of the Proximas

[@bangdingow1414]

Hey Watcher...do you know of any proper SKX007/09 homage with the weekday wheel? Everything I have found only has the date wheel.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Im sure there's some on aliexpress?

[@bangdingow1414]

@@TheWatcherReviews Yeah, you're probably right but not from a reputable/known brand.

[@Tom_H327]

I really want to build my own watch. An SKX 007, cause I was not in the watch game when they were affordable and readily available. I've been looking on aliexpress, seikomods and namokimods, but I'm not sure which parts to actually get.

[@cecilyau4440]

Go for it! The only “bad” result is that you might not want to stop building and modding watches. That’s what happened to me 👍😁

[@Tom_H327]

@@cecilyau4440 😂 I'm gonna, once I can figure out exactly what I'm looking at when looking at parts, what exact parts I need.

[@cecilyau4440]

@@Tom_H327 For what it’s worth, my favorite sources for parts are as follows: Dials - NamokiMods, TheYobokies; Hands - DLW Watches (great selection, and they allow you to mix and match styles), NamokiMods. AliExpress has incredible selection, but in my experience, the quality runs from poor to excellent, so you may or may not be happy with what you get. Good luck! And for the record, I really enjoy the mod/build hobby (too much 😉😁)!

[@Tom_H327]

@@cecilyau4440 Thanks for the tips. When considering Aliexpress; does price equal quality? Or is it really just a roll of the dice? 🎲

[@cecilyau4440]

@@Tom_H327 In my experience, for hands, higher price does mean better quality. For example, < $15 tends to look okay but the lume is bad, but the $30 hands I got from the Heimdallr store were well-finished with good lume. For dials, I’ve only bought the cheaper ones (< $20), which were poor to okay. So for now, I spend a bit more to get them from Namoki and TheYobokies. Hope this helps!

[@leoberg2390]

Greetings mate. I've been struggling to find a tissot dial for my prx but couldn't find it anywhere even after searching for weeks. I also looked throughly on aliexpress also. Can you please help I'll really appreciate it

Hey buddy, unfortunately i don't think a prx aftermarket dial is available
