Modding a Seiko 5 into a Rolex GMT Master 2 Pepsi DESIGN - dream watch build

[@mjburman3174]

I am the client for the watch in the video. I am rather new to watch modding and I rather enjoy the color scheme of the Rolex GMT Pepsi. I could have purchased a new Rolex (could not find one) and I could have purchased a fake Rolex. I did not want to do that. Instead, I decided to mimic the color scheme of the Rolex Pepsi with a Seiko. I have two Seikos', a 2nd gen Orange Monster and the SK 007 Dive watch. I felt that Usman created a unique, great looking watch that is exactly what I wanted. I must say that based on the comments below, I might look into a 12 hr. bezel. Frankly, I did not realize that was an option, thanks for the tips regarding that. In closing, I felt that the video was fantastic and it was fun watching my watch being built...

[@TheDubaiExpat]

I think the 24h indication looks much better and if you want a reason for it you can just use it as an AM PM to 24h converter. But not all has to make sense in the watch hobby :)

[@mjburman3174]

@@TheDubaiExpat Good advice, thank you...

[@Shlomo8561]

just get an aftermarket rolex dial and put it in the seiko movement/case

[@malvivo90]

I can sell you the same Rolex pepsi new.. let me know if you interested

What a masterpiece of videography. So relaxing to watch.

[@wayneeggerman5559]

Nice work... professional and very clean~! After retirement from the Boeing Company I worked as a professional watchmaker for about 10 years specializing in Swiss made mechanical watches... Rolex mostly. However, I have nothing against Seiko and your watches look very fine~!

[@customseikowatches1911]

For a professional like yourself to compliment on this mod made my day

[@prabhatsinghr]

Story telling & editing, just like any mini film is just too good here Niko 😃👍 the final touch Usman drinking the Pepsi is top stuff. Good one

[@privatedata9802]

Amazing! Beautiful job and love the reward at the end. Well deserved

Skilled hands. Thanks to the watch maker Mr. Usman.

[@watchcollectorglobal9166]

One of the greatest watch videos I ave seen. Love your story telling skills.

[@tonynikon]

Beautiful video. I feel really compelled to build my own Seiko Mod. I’d been collecting pieces and tools for the last 2 years. I’m sure that for the end of Summer 2021 mine will be built. I was not very fond of the Pepsi bezel until I saw you drinking an actual Pepsi. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheDubaiExpat]

Thank you :)!

Did you build your watch?

Excellent workmanship and interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

Expert Level. Superb Keep it up.

[@carlgouder]

Great work by your mate. I modded my SKX. Replacing the seconds hand is by far the hardest part of the project. 🤙🏼

[@customseikowatches1911]

It was the hard thing for me to learn! You need such a steady hand for this

[@vinster666]

Loved watching this video. Excellent videography. We need to see more.

[@watcherofwatches1969]

Cool modding of another Seiko TDE! Keep it up

[@chefduane3742]

Nice touch with the Pepsi.

[@rogerauclair1670]

Drinking a Pepsi, wearing a Pepsi, gorgeous watch. Nothing like a domed sapphire crystal to really make a watch look impressive. I put domed sapphire crystals on two Casio Duros which really made a big difference.

[@stevenlomas8812]

What workmanship!

[@namelessrace9803]

Although I'm not into mods much, the wrist shot in the beginning of the Rolex Pepsie really made me want one and so was worth watching this video 😜

[@davidvesseur2161]

Lol, love the lab coat. I thought, oh okay, this guy is a legit watch maker... Then I see the crystal press etc and thought, oh okay, maybe not lol

[@customseikowatches1911]

Lol! But focus on the final result :p

[@saschaliebig6499]

Awesome. Just ordered one. To me this is not a Fake Rolex, but a really fun and great looking Seiko.

[@stevedavid2315]

Fantastic build, stunning looking and the way you made your video was great, what a pleasure to watch.

[@watchbrain4088]

Really enjoyed watching this!

[@neapolitangentleman1773]

Very nice video. Congrats

[@parthzaveri]

Amazing Video, Music & Skills! I guess Seiko should push out Pepsi Bezel on their GMT line-up.

[@TheCalamorro]

That would be good with a Seiko GMT.

[@alinmoldovan4679]

Really beautiful ☺️

[@andysmith1996]

12:29 Wouldn't be a Seiko without a misaligned bezel.

[@customseikowatches1911]

It wasn't misaligned. I ensured it. I think it's the camera angle and the bazel is 1 click away from 12oclock

[@timepieceaddictive]

Great sharing. Thanks 🙏

[@designated_hitter_EGA]

Nice work. Question: do standard factory torques exist for the case cover on water resistant watches ? I'm new to seeing these builds and mod's, and just curious.

[@aakaanant]

Absolutely gorgeous 👌🏻🙏🏻

[@riddle07ful]

Nice mod! Love it. Can you specify What model of Seiko5 is this? Thanks

[@FK-fu2ju]

Wow! Can he or you make a video of the seiko in a gmt batman? 😁

[@cvnikal]

You should do a Pepsi 12hr bezel insert instead of the 24hr so it could still be functional as a second time zone. Great build though!

[@biscuitninja]

Been wanting to do this exact project for a VERY long time.

No, it comes with 2. One was pre-installed

[@HiralPatel007]

Great video, learrn't so much, I have many of those tools but had no clue how to use many of them.

[@carlosgj1308]

Wow really nice mod I’m just wondering is there another seiko it could be modified

Did you put any gasket in the crystal and in the bezel?

Looks good other than the red hand, and chromed bezel, and aftermarket bracelet (the original one is nice!)

[@wilsonsamusements1]

Great job, enjoyed the video. What would you do to a Sarb017?

[@clark3830]

Lovely watch but really needs the 4N34A GMT movement with dial replaced.I actually would have started with the 3:00 stem NH-34 GMT and built it from there.

[@sepp540]

Nice one!!!

[@emmanuelphua]

how did you take the crown/pin out after installing n aligning the hands, before case installation ?

[@alexkwan3]

a 12 hour bezel would have been more functional imo

[@ericliu1463]

It sounds a bit loosen when turning the bezel, not sure if you having same issue there. it happened with my mod as well, I later found out replacing a slightly larger size (0.8mm) bezel gasket would fix the problem for the aftermarket bezel.

[@cabroncito600]

Love it
