Seiko SKX 007 Movement Upgrade

[@whatsyourwatch1670]

Love this type of hands-on work!

[@ttmhog15]

It was a ton of fun. I would love to do more of it in the future!

[@peterharris1657]

Absolutely brilliant mate you made it look so easy

[@triniboy05]

Very cool, not much into modding but you made it look a lot simpler than I imagine it is lol

[@ttmhog15]

It's actually not nearly as hard as I would have expected. There are some really great videos on KZbin that go step by step through it. With a good teacher and a little patience, it's really a blast

[@Hotzrod]

Really enjoyed your video! Thanks for posting, I'll probably try this now. I have been hesitant. Can you post links to tools used here? Crystal times for movement? Pre-sized stem? TIA

[@christopherjefferson3561]

Y’all know we can get an nh36 a that has crown at 4-ish position and requires no date wheel swaps?

[@peterhornberg1057]

Thank for the video! I might try to switch the movement in my own skx! :)

[@ttmhog15]

Thanks for watching! It's definitely a fun (and intimidating) project. But so far I'd say it's worth it

[@567davefair]

Did you use the stock Seiko 7S26 crown and stem and did they fit correctly on the NH36 movement without any adjustments? From other videos I have seen they used the NH36 crown and stem which had to be shortened.

[@christopherjefferson3561]

Also I didn’t swap rings and it fit perfect

[@leodileodileo]

So the day wheel on seiko 7s26 movement is compatible with the nh36 movement can you confirm?? Thank you

[@byahedista7580]

hello, do you happen to know where to buy the nh36 movement?

[@armandogomez2677]

Did the same crown from the old movement work ?

[@mevagisseymedic]

you made it look easy, I still cannot fit the second hand, Grrr. I did not think you could wind up with this swap?

[@ronpost587]

Hi, thanks for the excellent video. I needed to replace my stem after the jeweler broke the crown off my stem while replacing the battery. Obviously, she said it was missing when I brought it in. So, I ordered a new stem and crown from Esslinger and fit the stem to my watch per the instructional video by Darak Watches. I carefully inserted the stem as shown in the video and everything went together fine, but the date will not change when I pull the stem out to the first stop and rotate, but it will change as the hands pass the midnight hour. Pulling the stem out to the second stop works fine to set the time. Can you offer any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong? Thanks in advance for any help. Movement: Seiko 7N42C

[@ttmhog15]

Unfortunately I have no idea, I'm not much of a watchmaker, just a hobbyist. Best of luck though

[@ronpost587]

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm thinking my best bet will be to order a new movement. After watching your video, I think I've gained enough confidence to give it a try.

[@ronpost587]

The watch is a Seiko with a 7N42 movement which is battery powered. I believe I already tried the stem without the case but it's been so long I can't really remember. Maybe I'll give it a try again. I've also been tempted to buy a new movement which could be had for less than $20 the last time I looked, but that would be a real chore. I know I should just give up but the watch has special meaning to me. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

[@bsimpson6204]

I used to change watch batteries as part of my work, you would not belive the state of some watches brought in. Hands off and hour markers rolling about behind the glass, no glass (yes really), bent winders and winders dropping out. Every watch had to be inspected and faults pointed out to the customer before they went to the watch bench.

[@zOfaMili]

Hello, do you think there will be a date alignment problem with my skx023? if I don't change the days?

[@BoogurTWang]

Very COOL ! Perhaps a link to where you got the new movement?

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

No one is going to tell you ever !!!!

[@bernardtan1]

This video DOES NOT show new crown & stem trimming which leads people to think you don't need to replace crown & trim the stem.

[@ttmhog15]

It doesn't show it because I didn't do it. I bought a crown that was already cut for the watch. Which is definitely an option that people have. But thanks for the comment I guess.

[@bernardtan1]

@@ttmhog15 you mean u bought a STEM or crown ?

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

Are those magnums ?

[@rogerauclair1670]

Very interesting video however, judging by your fast, confident way of working, I find it difficult to believe that this is the first time that you have attempted this.

[@ttmhog15]

Thank you! It's the first successful attempt I've ever had. I watched tons, and tons of videos before trying though. So I felt like I had a pretty solid idea of what I was doing

[@joeycan6801]

Nice 👍 but unfortunately that is no longer an original SKX007 watch……

[@erikk1820]

Good job you told him that. He probably wouldn't have known otherwise.

[@lowersaxon]

You have to realize that the NH 35 can be more disappointing than the 7S26.

[@ttmhog15]

Damn. Shoulda been more disappointed I guess. I'll try harder next time!

[@nealriordan6802]

Why do you think you need tunes with a drum beat in the background, very distracting, let me know when they're removed and I'll come back

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

Duh,? No.
