That domed sapphire and the way it flows with the bezel... AMAZING! Now I need one in all black with a ceramic bezel

[@shaunnewman4237]

My two favourite parts are when you stick a screwdriver into the movement to get it out of the case and when you jam a steel case back opener under the bezel to prise it off with no protection for the case.

It's so cool to see the watch maker beeing an watch enthusiast for SEIKO like that. That giggle when he got the bezel on is just priceless☺️❤️ Und du kannst sie jeden Tag tragen! Ein richtiger Daily Beater ist das!

[@TheJVCMan]

I like that you can get something different by doing this. Not pretending to be a Rolex. Clearly still showing the movement and where it's come from but just making it look like a Rolex. I think this is a really cool idea. I know nothing about watches so wouldn't have a clue about your processes but I really like the Kermit and the Pepsi. Two of my favourite Rolex's, I might have to reach out to you. :)

[@1malikalik]

Am American and I find eastern accents and enunciation captivating to listen to. Sapphire is heavily accentuated to sound like Sir- Fire 🔥. Equally impressive was the step by step transformation of a mundane seiko5 to an award winning Rolex iteration. Your creativity and resounding command of the English language has earned you a new subscriber. Blessings from USA. Malik Martin.

[@customseikowatches1911]

This usually doesn't happen. This was my first time building on camera so in trying to ensure camera sees my steps, I neglected the blue dial. Anyways it was not being used in this watch so it's OK, I threw it away :)

As a total watch noob, I wish you would not have cut some of the video so I can see exactly what you're doing. For example when removing the dial face, I don't know what you did, where there any latches or hinges you had to unbuckle? Or do you just use a tool to pry it out? That 1 second of video footage could have explained so many important things IMO. Still, thanks very much for the time and patience taken in making this video, it still helped me understand a lot of the basics. Have a great day :)

[@BalochGabol]

wats the green stuff called you used to pick the hands with ??

[@jeffsuen6461]

Its usually best to snap the bezel on the case first before you put the bezel insert on especially when its a sloped one. Using the crystal press to press the bezel down while the insert is on can easily cause it to crack or worse crush your insert if you slipped. Then you'd have to go and purchase another one. Just a tip if you decide to do another build. Oh and also its easier to align with the chapter ring/indices as putting the insert on the bezel first is a lot of guess work~

[@palmeadia]

Exactly, that's why its misaligned to the left

[@omnitraveller]

Very nice! I prefer the Hulk, but that's only a minor difference

[@artanshirqi8102]

Well done! Nice job. I try to do the same with Seiko 5 SNZF15K1 but the bezel insert i got was not the right size. Anyway..... Can you show me a link where i can get one bezel insert for my watch? Thank you in advance.
