⚙STEELDIVE MM300 MOD⚙ - ⭐|J4TM| ⭐- How to mod a SteelDive sd1968 | The Watcher

[@michaelkwelch52]

Love his Vids - doing my 1st mod this week

[@STP-777]

A nice video proving what I always say : Steeldive are the gamble watches. May be very well done but may also have the very important QC and quality issues.

[@johnnyroma213]

Hi mate , do you think San Martin have the same system of Steeldive ? One of my fiends broke the Tije as yours … ciao!

[@bruces12]

Good video...so sad that you had all those broken stem problems but I consider those learning experiences. I like how you changed out the chapter ring to match the bezel insert. I think it adds that tie in just right. Appreciate the work.

[@Mabrumas1]

Hola, se puede abrir también con la pelota el Proxima? Gracias

[@katerhofmann]

that spinning hands where quite funny. good to see that steeldive can copy the seiko bezel click mechanism. I think you can also pop off the bezel, while the glass stays on and then remove the glass and a metal ring that has some notches with your usual caseback opening tool.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yes you can but the bezel is glued on so not pressed, which then messes up the bezel alignment and fixture. The click spring doesnt work aswell as under the bezel they still use curved teeth and not slots like Seiko bezels. Yes that helicopter feature was pretty cool!

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Great video! Shame you had to deal with that stem problem though.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeh it was a ball ache but good learning curve right? 😆

[@ericcccccable]

Hi, can you tell me where you bought the black Steeldive dial? I can't find it anywhere. THANKS

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Possibly discontinued, i just threw out a load of steeldive dials

[@ericcccccable]

@@TheWatcherReviews Ok thanks.

[@williamborland871]

I think you showed the broken stem removal from the crown in one of you other videos, but would you have any advice for a crown that may be epoxied on(I am having a similar problem with stems as you when trying to get a piece of dial printing out of my San Martin)?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

You need to get a strong grip of the stem in some pliers, just above the keys and turn the crown very hard. Hold just below the thread on stem

[@VzDkz]

Is that bezel removal technique the same on other Chinese brands

[@TheWatcherReviews]

No it isn't, proxima is different and alot better

[@possumsam2189]

It is different from San Martin, Proxima, Heimdallr & Merkur.

[@homepage92]

Where you can buy spare parts? The lumen on the bazel on mime is falling apart... What i can do?

[@doguk34c]

to fit the dial Is there any place that sells chapter rings? Please give me a link! please!

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Sorry, no info. Measure the inner and outer diameter and see what is there

[@joliverlie151]

Good Video. Which better Steeldive or Proxima MM300 if we want to mod become SEIKO MM3300 ?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Proxima

[@hiphopjason]

Very useful,thank

[@paolobellucci-g9n]

hi the watcher, can the movement be adjusted without breaking the stem?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

What do you mean?

[@paolobellucci-g9n]

my steeldive mm300 fell to the ground. He broke off an index finger and now runs a minute a day. Seeing your video I understood how to open it and arrange the index. However, if I want to access the adjustment system lever, can I do it without breaking the stem? (Sorry for my English)

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yeh thats right, and then fit a new stem

[@paolobellucci-g9n]

but to remove the broken stem do I have to dismantle all the pieces of the movement like you did?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

@@paolobellucci-g9n thats right

[@sukhjitsingh6288]

Why didn't you go for a black Seiko dial instead of a black steeldive dial.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

To make it more youtube friendly, plus the steeldive mm300 isn't that good so I wouldn't put a seiko dial inside it

[@szilarddietzel9071]

Because its not a Seiko watch

[@KyriakosGavras]

Can i do the same with heimdallr mm300 bronze case to changing the dial?Otherwise how can i take out the bezel?

[@markwilson8504]

great vid :)

[@alixrza3107]

Good mod mate

[@Bob.martens]

Escapement failure @11:50

[@rhinowatches9738]

How do I find you’re store on Ebay ?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

[@VintageModWatch]

Is it possible to replace the dial without taking the movement out of the watch?

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

No

[@doguk34c]

ali express link please tell me Some sized chapter ring sellers!

[@erikgeleta593]

It appears you overwound and stripped teeth off of one of the gears for that to happen.

[@TheWatcherReviews]

No, as after disassembly and reassembly it was fixed

[@maurizioterzo849]

I'm desperately searching for a replacement dial for my MM300. Where did you get this?

[@TheWatcherReviews]

[e-mail] I have dials in stock

[@diegoportentoso3619]

Lo abriste y ni mostraste la máquina...........🤦🏻‍♂️

[@islandterror5198]

Unrelated question about Heimdallr . 🦈 Shark logo being solid or not deciphers if it's a real one ? Really ? Lol please elaborate 😁🥂🎅

[@TheWatcherReviews]

Yes, so the 'original' heimdallr logo is a shredded shark, whereas the fake sharkey is more of a solid tuna shape lol

[@islandterror5198]

@@TheWatcherReviews Thank you 😁

[@possumsam2189]

That 'fake' sharkey is built by Beijing Infinite Time, as a lower-grade complement to their Merkur/Seizenn lineup. It is good because it is confirmed to be fully-compatible with all Seiko parts and intended to be mod-fodder. Back in the day, Beijing Infinite Time used to build select models for Heimdallr/Sharkey (And they still do).
