Seiko Mod - Bloodmoon SKX Samurai Conversion Mod

[@robnicholas3760]

I have seen many, many Seiko custom builds over the years but this is the first one that I would actually buy. It's absolutely perfect.

[@robnicholas3760]

And I can't buy one.. apparently some of the parts are no longer available

[@dutchttsfo7571]

Damn !

[@unwashedmass3356]

Hi all you fans of Lume Shot and Eric's work. After 4 years after his posting of this video on the Bloodmoon I finally bit the bullet and had the updated version commissioned with the specs I felt were a good match. The watch was received more than expected in time, quality, and packaging. Doing business with Eric is a true pleasure and I can say without hyperbole that he is an open and honest person to deal with throughout the process. Please continue to support him and his work however you can. Thanks, Eric. 👍

[@LumeShot]

It was my absolute pleasure, thank you so much for the kind words and support! Very happy to hear that you enjoy the piece, wear in good health!!

[@MoXyiD]

they do something similar with the Rolex Milgauss' green crystal. Super cool

[@fayeh4412]

I never would have guessed a custom built like this was done by a young man like him. This kid got talents and skills, and I LOVE that he is so ADD about the cleaning and his attention to details. If he's already doing such amazing work at this age, can you imagine how skilled this kid will be in 10, 20 years? This kid's going to be a bright star one day!

[@StephenGeoghan]

I think Seiko should employ him, get him working on the Grand Seiko's, before the Swiss see his work and he moves to the more common, popular,"for rich folk" watches, Absolutely agree with everything you said

[@StephenGeoghan]

Maybe if they let him loose at Seiko or GS, imagine the watches that'd be coming out for sale to us .

I absolutely love the red anti-reflective coating, I didn't even know you could get red AR. The way it goes from pink/red through to orange as the watch is tilted is excellent.

[@kris_n17]

[@kevinchan350]

It's absolutely captivating watching you do what you do best. I wear a Samurai King myself and my goodness this build excites me!

[@rbmwiv]

I just did my first crystal upgrade. It was much easier than I expected in my head. Of course I watched plenty of videos on it. I’m pretty new to modding but I’m extremely happy with my Orient Mako2 I just finished. A DD clear AR crystal, coin edged bezel, lumed ceramic bezel insert and a Strap code jubilee bracelet. It’s really nice looking. Now I’m ready to do more. I really enjoy your videos. Great job.

[@hgr.7857]

💯 I have 2 Mako lls and would love to mod one with a new (domed?) sapphire crystal and bezel like the one in this vid, maybe upgrade the line too. You said what I was thinking, that it's some big thing & I'll mess it up. And that it ended up being easier.

[@markmelben]

Brilliant! Refreshing to see a young person who places so much importance on every detail ! Impressive skill set and knowledge base .

[@umuterdem9317]

[@watchmebuildit]

Erick - I don’t know how you do it, but every video takes it up another notch. This build is EPIC! Thanks for the great work

[@LumeShot]

Thank you for watching!

[@georgegarcia566]

I agree. The production value, especially at the beginning, is excellent. Good work!

[@Hakuna_My_Tatas]

Absolutely gorgeous build! My friends call me “old school” bc I like my analog watches while they enjoy their apple/samsung watches. Doesn’t bother me to each their own. Would have loved to see this especially on a bracelet with more shots on the wrists and in different lighting, like out in the sun as well!

[@scottjohnston5008]

You won't find a better option for having a custom watch made for you! I contacted Eric/Lume Shot a few months ago about purchasing an exact copy of the Blood Moon watch featured in this video. He was extremely communicative and made several thoughtful recommendations that ultimately resulted in a design that I like even more than the original Blood Moon. He was also very patient with several questions I had. His pricing was very up-front and reasonable, and my watch was delivered 2+ weeks sooner than the timeline he'd initially provided. It's obvious that he's not just running a business, but rather doing something that he truly cares about and takes pride in.

[@LumeShot]

thanks so much for your support Scott!

[@DirkWerning]

Duuuuude that’s how there in my top favorite builds of yours. Came out AWESOME. And your videography on this one REALLY next level my friend. Great job.

Eric, I recently found your channel and you are a beast! I really enjoy your mods and your expertise. I took my new SSK003 to a local "watch expert" in Richmond, VA for an adjustment and he literally polluted it with debris from his old nasty shop. After watching your videos I was able to clean my watch, reset the second hand ,which kept falling off, & now my watch is perfect! Thank you!!

[@hardway_6823]

What he said... "Young man, that is one of the best Seiko mods I have ever seen, never been much for Seiko’s, but u built a watch I would very much wear." Truly excellent work and video!

I have a few Seiko Dive watches and I had no idea building a custom was a thing. Great looking build.

[@melody3741]

For any beginner, when you set hands, always turn them backwards to the 12 to eat up the backlash, otherwise they will look set but when the watch runs they will go out a little. Also, you can do this when you set the watch. This entirely fixes the backlash minute drift on the 7750.

Two years too late. I would have LOVED to have purchased this watch. Stunning to look at and to know it was assembled with such care makes me wish I had found this video much earlier.

[@fischziege]

Hey Eric, love your videos, especially the builds. Always very informative but also very entertaining. If I could offer a minor suggestion: I would love to see the finished watch on a strap. I think I understand why you wouldn't show that, the finished watch is supposed to go to a customer that puts it on whatever strap they want, and a strap is maybe not part of what you consider your work and process. But every time I see one of these gorgeous shots of the beautiful finished watch, I get this tiny nagging feeling that they are not done, that something is missing. Noticeable exception: the watch you gave away to your father. Seeing that on the bracelet made it feel complete to me. Anyways, just my rambling, keep being awesome, I'll keep watching, learning and admiring what you're doing. Thanks!

KZbin just sent me this video. I remember watching this video when it first came out. Outstanding watch mod. However, as having OCD, I would have expected the movement to be regulated to better specs. I learned several years ago to regulate my 6309s and 7s26 mods. I’m able to get them to a few seconds a day with less than 0.2 for the beat error. It can be time consuming and at times I can spend well over an hour doing it. But the good news is it’s not difficult to do. It’s very satisfying to see that thin straight line on the timegrapher. I just watched your video on converting 7s26 movements to NH36. I’m going to do my first conversion. After taking apart a 7s26 movement for servicing, I lost the diashock while putting it back after cleaning and oiling it😢. Those little buggers have the tendency to fly away. Very frustrating when that happens. That is the most difficult maneuver of the service. It’s one of my favorite mods so I decided to convert it over to the NH36. Again, your mod is outstanding!

Bro, why you playin? Get your stuff submitted. Call them, fax them, do the online thing (do it all to get eyes on your claim). It will take 2-4 weeks (most likely 4, and maybe longer) after your claim gets submitted to get your first payout. GET IT DONE HOMIE! Too many peeps making claims right now, if it continues they will most likely stop accepting claims because they won't have enough resources in terms of people to process the claims, or money to payout. Hurry!

Depending on your state you will get Unemployment benefits + State Pandemic benefits + Federal Pandemic benefits. The federal is the easiest and it's a one time payout, the state pandemic is second easiest and you could get 39 weeks worth, and regular unemployment benefits is the hardest to get.
