It looks amazing! Setting hands is very nerve racking. I was replacing the movement in a chronograph, and let me tell you, those little subdial hands... just try it once and you will feel like the main watch hands are easy. Did you try some silicone lube on the crown o-rings? I'm not a watchmaker but an engineer so forgive the terminology, but I think the hand misalignment is because of backlash in the gears, and when you set the movement to the point of changing the date, you have done so with the crown, but the slack in the gears is in the wrong place compared to when the movement reaches this point by itself. My tip would be, before disassembling anything, let the watch reach 12:00 by itself and note the alignment, then rotate it manually to 12:00 by the crown and note the alignment difference, and take that into account when rebuilding the watch. No idea if this is correct - I've only had this problem once and I just nudged the minute hand to match the hour hand and all was well. GL!

Hellooooo, I am brand spanky new to your channel and I have to say it's a belter. I have long been interested in watches, particularly Seiko brands, and have long enjoyed the excellent content from the many KZbin channels available. Recently one of these broached the subject of building your own, and he had previously partaken in small modding projects. Long story short - caught your content and wow, I'm loving your work and particularly the Atlantis. As I am new to the modding arena and have dipped my toe in so far as to google parts on the likes of Aliexpress, I would highlight that much confusion abounds regarding parts selection, comparability and outlets to get exactly what I want - like the original Seiko parts that you source. Would it be possible to do one show where you lead the 'nubes' by the proverbial and step it down a gear for clarity. With the Atlantis in mind I would love to see a 'Nemo' dial instead. Is this possible? I hope I'm not the only one that is in this position and would benefit. Keep up the exceptional work.
@ItsAnotherWatch3 жыл бұрын
I agree about the confusion when it comes to sourcing parts. I still have trouble getting the dials I want. Fortunately in recent times there are more sellers on AliExpress who are getting in legitimate OEM dials for decent prices, and of course I did get a few of my OEM dials from Watch Parts Plaza as well as a couple on eBay. Honestly there's not much to tell, procuring OEM parts can be frustrating and illusive no matter how long one has been modding for. Unless you have a jeweller who is able to straight up order dials from Seiko (which can have a 5 month wait) you're at the mercy of what you can find. My sources are usually, eBay or AliExpress these days. Your best option is digging on AliExpress since there are several sellers who have single listings for OEM dials that have choices of a dozen dials or more. So there's not an easy way to get the exact one you want unfortunately, you just have to dig, or grab what you can get.
@simonmcgee34273 жыл бұрын

@ItsAnotherWatch Жыл бұрын
I won't recommend a specific case, since its going to depend on your taste and ideas for the build. But I would recommend any of the cases from places NamokiMods or crystaltimes/seikomods (to name a couple) that are specifically compatible with SKX007 parts. That will maximize your options for parts and ensure that it goes along like a conventional SKX007 build. I might even recommend grabbing a simple Homage watch that looks mostly like what you're aiming for and then do a simple dial and hand swap. There are also plenty of NH-movement compatible cases on AliExpress that come fully assembled which eliminates the headache of having to press in a crystal, and they're pretty great value too if you get the 200M water resistant ones.

Looks like mine does in fact have a beveled edge on it, since I used a sloped bezel insert. Although the bezel insert wasn't meant for an SKX and shows a slight gap. If you're going for a sloped bezel insert, the regular NMK301 will be fine. But if you were going for a standard flat bezel insert the "no bevel edge" NMK302 might look cleaner, I think that's the one I used for my "perfect skx" (the SKX171 mod).

Also, I'm thinking of just adding an orange seconds hand to add a pop of color. Can a watchmaker just remove the seconds hand and change it? Or do they need to remove all the hands and reset them all at the same time?
@ItsAnotherWatch Жыл бұрын
I don't have a turtle myself to know for sure what parts are interchangeable. But I don't think the case parts are (besides maybe a caseback, but again I'm not sure about those either). Unless you were using an SKX turtle conversion case, I'd assume case parts are not compatible. I'm fairly sure that things like Bezels and chapter rings are definitely not compatible between the SKX and the turtle, so its probably best to look into Turtle Specific mod parts when modding the turtle case itself.

I was tempted to go with WR hands but I decided to give the raffles hands a shot since there pretty inexpensive and its the only site i seen that had the planet ocean style handset in padi colors... if it works as planned and the lume matches well enough it will be an awesome looking watch and if i find the c1 lume to be underwhelming then I figure i can always swap them out for something better. in the future... but im really hoping the padi plant ocean hands workout as its gonna be a great look.

I ended up replacing the hands on this Planet ocean build with these: wrwatches.com/products/planet-ocean-arrow-hands-for-nh35-4r35-6r15-7s26-movement which had very good lume, that matches the OEM dial perfectly.

Even ali express can be good for hands if your going for BGW9. Since C3 hands on Ali are always too green by default and I don't like to take the chance on them anymore.
