You're building my ideal watch! Thank you for this video. I was thinking about buying a SSK021 because I love the two tone look and want a GMT for daily wear, but I was hesitant to get one until I could source a two tone bracelet. You resolved my concern with the links on this video.

[@svkwatches]

Yes the SKX007 two tone bracelet like the W&S one shown works fine with the original SSK springbars, a little looser than SKX fit but still well worth it for this one

[@joshsteuterman2363]

I agree with you 100%

[@jro18751501]

Great video. This the first time seeing your content. Outstanding information, and your passion for watches is quite evident. Looking forward to future videos. Subscribed

[@svkwatches]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you

[@dadmodswatches]

Excellent choices my friend! The bracelet especially is an obvious must-do upgrade. It is going to be beautiful when done.

[@kaczynski2333]

Everyone says Seiko bracelets are terrible; I find them really comfortable.

[@alohahive]

Really like what you did here! Wish you could mod one for me keeping the original bezel but changing the glass, crown, and bracelet. Wish Seiko did it from the get go

[@svkwatches]

Thanks! And yes sure I can arrange that for you - just email me your request and we can go from there: [e-mail]

Realistically I actually do use the three time zones on my SSK005 😅 Main hands set to my local time here in Australia, I’m a massive UK football fan so I use the internal 24 hour track with the GMT hand for London time, and I make a lot of purchases through businesses that operate on US pacific time, so external bezel is aligned to give me the time in LA.

[@svkwatches]

Oh wow, well there you go, great to see someone using the full capability! Thanks for the example too

[@vikasrelwani2588]

hi, great video. Do you have this stock for sale in Dubai?

[@svkwatches]

I don’t have one right now but I can make it to order - just contact me via email - [e-mail]

[@namquoc6116]

The watch on your wrist is so beautiful, may I ask what size your wrist is?

[@svkwatches]

7.75 inch or 18.5cm - I usually mention it as it’s a bigger wrist than most

[@SB-dw8md]

This is fire can’t wait to see it

[@svkwatches]

Just uploaded the final product: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnWyqoSngK1-jdksi=jqUf0gLIimHzJduN

[@TheBimmer74]

Can't wait to see the final product! What is the pricing on such a mod?

[@svkwatches]

This is would run around $760USD with worldwide shipping, but it depends on each specific order really, best to enquire and I can get an accurate cost - this is a bit higher due to the difficulty in getting the base watch in Dubai

[@SaikatBasak]

The hour markers seem off-centre

[@BHD9304]

Just came home from vacation in the states, (I’m located in Denmark, and this model won’t release here, so bought it as a memory of my trip to NYC) been looking at it, since I’ve ordered the trip 😅 But now I need that two tone bracelet, should/can I use the existing spring bars from the bracelet the watch came with, or should I choose the fat spring bars, or the spring bar for SRPD/SSK with the two tone bracelet from Watchandstyle? 😊

[@svkwatches]

Either the SRPD/SSK spring bars from Watch&Style or the ones on the standard watch will work fine

[@BHD9304]

@@svkwatchesThanks! Will be ordering later today! Do you know if the CN0235 SXK007 gold polished crown from watch&style will work on the ssk021? 🤔

[@svkwatches]

@@BHD9304 no, but the CN0664 Crown will!

[@BHD9304]

@@svkwatches Got it! My first automatic, and my first little rebuild will be this one 😁

[@Dubub]

I bought this one but when i move the bezel i dont hear any sound is it fake?

[@svkwatches]

No that’s standard on all SSK models - they just have smooth action bezels

[@IvanMPylypchuk]

Would you be so kind to share a link to the bezel insert (I think you said Guinness?) in your video, please?

​@@svkwatches Thank you very much for the info! Interestingly enough, when I compared the photos of both, I noticed that the gold painted numbering on the namoki version is not as clean as the DLW. Again it could be just the photos but for a peace of mind I went with the DLW one as well. An auxiliary question, can you confirm that the bezel you chose for this build is R1422 SSK Rotating Bezel Sub Style? Do you know if there is an identical bezel but with clicks? Thank you very much for your time and craftsmanship!

[@svkwatches]

And yes DLW have flawless bezel inserts, so if it’s possible from DLW I would always go therr

Can you link the website to the two tone jubilee ??

@@svkwatches is the correct option to select on the website for the skx007, as in the link you provided, or for the ssk?

@@Dylan-bm8sp you select the spring bar for the SSK yes
