I like it. I tried buyin a modded watch from another youtber but he said the parts are no longer available. I've been thinking about getting into the hobby, I might just do it now and make something similar to this. Very good look.

[@ShortBetter]

Good luck with your mod!😊

[@user-tm2re7bt5s]

beautiful。

[@Juan.Garrocho]

Absolutely perfect. Which is the model with the brightest handset?

[@ShortBetter]

Not sure if there is the same handset with the better lume. Perhaps OEM hands? I haven't seen such yet

[@vadergrd]

[@ozzyramos1216]

Hey men, congratulations for this incredible work, I don't know if the idea of ​​combining those colors came from you or if you had seen something similar, but the result was great, incredible, unexpected, I loved the dial, the hands, the bezel insert and the box, the only thing I would like to change would be the strap for an orange rubber one, I think it would look fantastic. And if I agree with you, I think it is your best work. Congratulations, I leave you your well-deserved like. Can you put the links about the dial..

[@ShortBetter]

Thanks😊 It was my customer's idea, I just had to find matching components. I will share the links later🙏

[@ShortBetter]

Yes, it comes with the quick release strap. If you need, I can add for you extra spring bars😊

[@valtovar]

where you got the bezel? it's the only thing you didn't mention in the video desc.

[@ShortBetter]

Thanks for reminding me. Here is the link😊 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EwE83s7

[@user-logname]

13:28 and 13:34 Due to the curvature, the bezel ring is not flush with the glass at all. that doesn't look nice. Better reverse aging bezel

[@mrt8798]

Hey, I've had some bad luck with the quality regarding the cases for skx. I've bought the case you used here, and the movement is loose inside the case. what solution do you recommend? I also bought the case you recommend in the description, and the bezel has a massive play and you can you can jiggle the bezel easily. What do you recommend me doing?

[@ShortBetter]

I've had only 1 case that didn't hold the movement tight. I even broke the crown stem while trying to close the caseback. I ended up using dial dots on the side of the movement. It was very tricky to do, but it worked. About the bezel, all my cases are with the excellent bezel action. Maybe I'm just lucky? Also, I recommend you use the second link for the case. It's a bit more expensive but better quality.

[@mrt8798]

​@@ShortBetteryes, I have bought the second case...but with bad luck, after buying the one in this video... The bezel has play and terrible loose action. Would a a new click spring resolve this? Or maybe a thicker gasket?

[@ShortBetter]

@@mrt8798 I haven't tried fixing loose bezels...🥲

[@Entertainment-]

What is the point of the 24h bezel if there is no GMT hand pointing at it?

[@ShortBetter]

Let's be honest here😅 Most people are buying GMT watches for the look rather than functionality. The same thing here. This bezel insert just looks great in this colour combo😁

[@ptzish]

If you want the dial indices pop, you can use a sharpie to color them brighter orange. If you can't find the exact color you want, you can also just order dials with white indices or white hands and just color them with a sharpie. You can even go so far as to color a piece of clear tape and put a small piece of tape over the back of the date window to make your date wheel any color you want. I wouldn't recommend using this trick on a black wheel with white letters. It is very hard to read the numbers. I tried coloring the actual date wheel but on some wheels, the ink dissolves the numbers. I made a lime green and black Captain Willard with a lime green strap and black deployant buckle and it absolutely rocks.

[@ShortBetter]

I tried using colored piece of plastic on the date window, someone recommended me before.. But honestly, I didn't like it much. I think just using a different color wheel is better

[@ptzish]

@@ShortBetter I started doing it because red day wheels are almost impossible to find. I just can't find it in myself to spend $70 for the only one I've ever seen.

[@ShortBetter]

@@ptzish there you go. There are plenty on aliexpress s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EGVDuQx

@@ShortBetter DAY wheels, not date wheels.

it's not a mod if you're not modifying an already finished timepiece, it's just a build.

[@ShortBetter]

Thank you for clarification

[@mjohan4998]

make partial or minor changes to (something), typically so as to improve it… literally the definition! A build would be to standards of the design, Modified is the basic term for anything that has something on it that isn't stock. So go be petty somewhere else dork
