in my case, I worked with a Chinese Company on the MM300 watch case and a Seiko dial SL 35 . And guess what , the dial was made for an ETA 2824-2 . The end result is that I owned now a MM300 with a genuine ETA 2824-2 movement. Accuracy is COSC standards !

[@denbo74]

The best looking mod I’ve ever seen

[@antoniodelrio692]

Man, you're slowly becoming my favorite channel. I've essentially been living vicariously through your heimdallr and the skx007 video waiting to be able to order my own heimdallr! Keep up the amazing work!

[@mitchellsmith2099]

I was too lol. Just got my Heimdallr though, was not disappointed!

[@antoniodelrio692]

@@mitchellsmith2099 I'm honestly kind of at a crossroads between buying it and not. Kinda got this mentality where I really want something and then don't buy it because I "don't need it" which is true but I also really wanted the classic look of the 007 without having to pay double what it's worth and getting the original. Either way, enjoy the watch!

[@mitchellsmith2099]

Like I said I’m happy with it! Not too expensive so you can’t go wrong, but unless your in love with it and can’t stop thinking about her, don’t marry her. Or buy the watch, both apply:)

[@MadJanitor631]

I'm glad I found your channel. I think I'm ready to make my first attempt at a build.

[@lpblade7]

Love that asmr bezel action, and top video as always, so cool to go along on the journey of the builds with you.

[@joelyoung9519]

Awesome build! And thanks for including the parts of the process that don't always go as planned. Nice to know we're all human... And pick up some new problem solving solutions

[@rodkubo5679]

Cool Build! I am considering this case to do a 6215-7000 build.

[@migfed]

I love this channel. Every time you start a project a feel all the excitement and tension that goes with it. I got a homage Seiko MM300 and I know how beautiful and classic this watch is. All in all thanks for delivering so brilliant videos.

[@chan7891]

Well done dude.. videography well edited, and interesting content. You'll grow into a huge channel 1 day =)

[@davemck1887]

Nicely done mate. Unlucky with the scratch on the insert but that's what makes a build exciting, the constant threat of a gaff. I look forward to more great content. Cheers.

[@davebowman1982]

Hi mate. Just found your channel. Loving this build - the dial/bezel combo looks so clean! 🙌🏻 Subscribed 👍🏻

[@fischziege]

I was just looking at this case and was wondering if anybody had written or filmed something about it. And then I see you did it and I missed it while traveling. Super interesting vid, as always. Thanks!

[@stephanpoulsdelaford2991]

Gutted was just about to build using this bezel and case only with a mother of pearl face marine master humm ok I'll try the titanium instead with designer black white hands keep it up you saved me a fortune in watches was taking ages to get my watch collection together as I like unusual divers I'm on my second this month lol shame I carnt send you pics maybe you could make it an option for us new builders asking for a friend 🤪

[@teamkingburrous7537]

Great video! Another 5 years of watching your videos I might get brave enough to try to build one!

[@1malikalik]

Bro, I love your enthusiasm, creativity and the meticulous attention. My only objective is the Case Back. That Glass caseback looks cheap and doesn't compliment your work. A GENUINE OEM case back would have been perfect. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸

[@tracer74]

That looks awesome mate, nice work! That steel bezel insert with the 62mas grey dial is a stunning combo.

[@dennisdarnell1953]

Really enjoyed this review and watching him do this build! He does an excellent commentary and the photography was quite good. Now I want to do another 300 case build from namaki 👍

[@StrangersIteDomum]

Really liked the extra commentary and discussion on this vid. The bloopers show you're human and therefore I, as another human, could also blunder my way through such a delicate looking process. Great vid. Request: review and modding the 90$ Alibaba Pagani designs watch.

[@dimonlind]

Amazing work, not only the building process but the camera and sound are really nice. It's. Nice that you tell everything about the process of building not just a perfect ride

[@timc-nz4237]

Thanks, Buddy, Really enjoyed this vid, I'm planning to build a 62Mas with Namoki and DLW parts, so good to see some of the parts I will be using, being used.

[@rip.tear.]

Ooooof i'm loving this, brilliant video!

[@DarthFungHole]

great vid. Thanks Dan

[@jqisback2]

Great video, I can relate to having my builds not going smoothly lol

[@josephp2712]

Love your show enjoyable and very instructive

[@anthonyschumacher9925]

Man that's nice! Great work!...minus the 50 scratch on 😉 That's a perfectly styled Marine Master.

[@shajeevranjan1492]

Beautiful build bruv !

[@wrthrash]

Your process is invaluable as I'm prepping to do my first custom build. Love that MM300 case vs others, just a bit disappointed with bracelet options, though Strapcode has one that'll do. UPDATE: I ordered the Namoki MM300 case, but the MM300 bracelets from Strapcode & the one from AliExpress that matched the stock Seiko would not fit that Namoki case. So I just ordered the Namoki one, so another 2 weeks of waiting now. Cheers!

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

I hope your build goes well! I recommend checking out my GMT build that I posted recently on the channel, since it has some additional information about hand pushers that might help you. Its something I didn't know when doing this video.

[@wrthrash]

@@ItsAnotherWatch So I am in it now, e-thing went great, the hands, chap ring, bezel and insert went on fine, though the second hand was a challenge, but aside from the bracelet probs the crystal keeps crushing the gaskets (funny how the Namoki gaskets have that little kick-in edge at the bottom), AND in the USA any additional parts take more than 2 weeks. I'm beginning to think this MM300 case was a mistake? Wish I could contact you for personal advise, but have worked with SVK on other projects so maybe he could help me out? Cheers!

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

@@wrthrash Unfortunately Crystal setting for me is the thing I'm not great at. My recommendation would be is to go on AliExpress and order a bunch of crystal gaskets since you can get 10 for cheap. Here's a link: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004098563832.html The listing says: 31.5 x 1.4 x 0.35mm for SKX007. I've never actually measured the gaskets, but I assume this is correct. Just make sure that you're crystal is the correct side up (if its a flat edgeless crystal might be tough to tell so try flipping it over and seeing if it goes in any better, but if its a domed or sloped edge then ignore this). Try and rest it on top as flat as you can get it before pressing it down. I don't really have much advice for getting it right since I usually just set it on top and press it in hoping for the best. But at least you can have several attempts if you buy a bunch of gaskets to practice with until it goes in properly. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

[@jerichowatches1]

Love your videos I have that many broken and spair parts it would be brilliant if I could mod some watches could you put a link up for the things you need to start modifying my own watches

[@rbmwiv]

Remove bezel inserts in 5 minutes with no damage. Get lighter fluid like a zippo uses and you just need enough to put the watch face down and it eats the adhesive away great. I have soaked every part I can and examine under magnification and it doesn’t hurt anything except adhesive tape.

[@kobe5rings]

Beautiful build 🔥 will make one similar

[@NovemXI]

Fantastic video, love the background music! I am planning a build with the same namoki case and steel bezel, except with a SBDY043 dial, a white chapter ring w/ markings, and MM300 style hands.

[@laurent01amat]

So nice I have been watching your channel and must say it looks so simple when we are watching you building those watches. This build is so nice that I would like to do the same for me :-) however I wonder where you get the Seiko dial could you please point me in the direction on where to look

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

Unfortunately there's no consistent place to get them, Seiko OEM dials are something you have to search around for, looking at Seiko models and then identifying the model number, then searching that number, for example "SPB185 dial" and then seeing what pops up, you can also search Seiko OEM dial on AliExpress to find some. Its just about digging until you find what you're looking for.

[@markmartin328]

Great video, best of luck with the channel.

[@CFCseventy]

Looks really pro I have mm 200 steel bezel they do scratch but you don’t really notice well done

[@mstrwul1]

Great build but I wouldn't use the movement holder whilst putting the hands on. You could push the pinion through as there is no support at the back of the movement.

[@SagdeevGennadiy]

dude, release your videos more often. you are good at 👍🏾 Start your own Instagram so that we can follow your work🙏🏾

[@s_buba]

Nice mod. I am also looking for a gray sunburst dial for my first mod. Finally decided to mod my invicta 8920

[@NEPJENNINGS]

love your channel

[@sparke7236]

I might be too late with this comment but where did you find the early version dial? (Without the lumed marker at 3.)

[@defragor]

hello l love this build! where did you get the dial from? I really enjoy your videos thanks

[@dtroutmann]

The loom on the hands doesn't match the loom on the dial

[@timchan334]

That case would looks so much better without a rotating bezel

[@thhizon]

I find thise 62mas handset a bit to long for dials with minute markers printed on them.

[@111111111Tiger]

beautiful build !

[@dannyclayton6169]

Hi mate how waterproof would you say the watch is 100m? 200m?

[@framper2008]

Keep the mods coming! 👍

[@uncle_meridian]

Great build and video. Fantastic work. Is the exhibition caseback adding some thickness to the watch? Do you think a standard caseback could shave a MM or so off the overall height? I’m thinking about of one these with a domed crystal and would love to keep under 14MM. Thanks!

[@markmartin328]

Dan, what that gold watch you are weraing there? Why not do a "wrist check" at the start of your videos? Great videos, I've just clicked subscribe.

I just use Loctite for the screw stem into crown.

[@vincentferreira1135]

It’s not really an MM300 case if it uses a screw down case back then, is it?

[@stanlinpious3659]

Can u tell about the wr of these modes.i really appreciate it

[@cseivard]

DeMystifying!

[@Shadowmoon71]

Where do you get the OEM case back?

[@aralevonian8391]

Hi mate, love watching your videos (subscribed)......QUESTION though, you started the build with an NH36 it looked like the crown was at the 3 o'clock position but the case crown position is at 4 o'clock did you adapt the dial to suit this variation and when you do this does the date line up?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

I removed the dial feet, allowing me to manually align to the 3.8 O'clock position. The Date wheel aligns at both 3 and 3.8 O clock so it doesn't need to be changed, but the DAY wheel on an NH36 would need to be changed to a 3.8 Aligned one to line up properly. The dial it self doesn't need any other modification other than removing the feet and attaching it with dial dots.

[@WouterZtube]

Looks great! Question : how to place the crystal gasket correctly?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

The crystal gasket should have a lip on the bottom of it (sticking outwards slightly on the bottom inner side of it) make sure you put the gasket in the case with this at the bottom. Once you push the gasket in all the way around it should sit where it needs to be, and the crystal will press in and sit on that bottom lip.

[@WouterZtube]

@@ItsAnotherWatch thanks! Then I was doing it right. I had doubts, but it's clear now. Thank you

[@michaelgarces1843]

Can you build me the same thing?

[@carlosalvarez9521]

A guy on youtube showed how he remove the dial feet with a pin vise.

[@riorj553]

Is the case fits with 7s26 movement?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

Yes it does, you just need to make sure you buy the caseback that is for the 7s26 with its black spacer, rather than the taller caseback that's made for the NH36 and the grey spacer. Namokimods have labels on their product page for casebacks that say if its for 7s26 or NH36.

[@andreharris9787]

What is your trick on putting the second hand that easily on?

[@ItsAnotherWatch]

I pick up the end of it with a piece of rodico and kneel on the floor to have my eye level looking at the movement from the side. I hold the second hand over roughly where the pin is and gently move it against the side of the pin until it moves above the pin and slightly catches, then I press it down lightly so its on there. Then I press it full down onto the pin. I find that aligning it with the pin from the side is easier because you can see when it hits the side of it, and when it slides up onto the middle of it. Doing it top down makes it difficult to see if the hand is actually going onto the pin, or being pushed down beside it.

[@andreharris9787]
