Chapter ring is probably made of brass and plated with chrome or nickel. Chrome plating on brass increases its natural durability, giving it impact and corrosion resistance with a shiny look. Hence the yellow started to show when you sanded it. Brass is also used for making most dials.

Made a 62 mas with this case and grey dial about 6 weeks ago. Found myself wearing it on a tropical silicone strap for most of my two week cruise to the Caribbean. I did not test the 30bar water resistance but it looked good in the blue Caribbean surf.

Tip from a goldsmith, when doing a brushed finish, use a wooden or plastic ruler to slide it alongside. If the side touching the ruler will be visible then put some kapton tape (what rolex use) or masking tape to stop it getting marked. It makes a noticeable difference

@ItsAnotherWatch6 ай бұрын
Although I have included stem cutting in some of my videos, I haven't done an exclusive stem cutting video. Mostly because I'm not very good at it. I have trouble myself getting them right, and often cut a stem or two too short. My advice would be, have some spares (you can get stems cheaply on AliExpress) and go slow with it, better to cut it too long and need to file off some more material than to cut it too short.

So Dan, do you have any “high-horology” watches in your personal collection? Just curious from collector-to-collector. I have a bit of both: several seiko mods and several Swiss/German made watches. A “state-of-the-collection” video might be interesting to some of us! If you’re interested in sharing I think we would enjoy it.
@ItsAnotherWatch9 ай бұрын
Unfortunately the best in my collection are my various high-end seiko mods. The rest of my watches are more budget friendly in the "under £200" range. I think people might be underwhelmed by a "state-of-the-collection" from me. I would like to at least get a Dressy Grand Seiko with a spring drive in the future, but I couldn't justify the cost for the time being.
@Aukov29 ай бұрын
hey @ItsAnotherWatch , Good to see you again posting a video mate! The watch looks stunning , as you said a bargain! might go for it myself. Quick Q, what size clasp should fit that bracelet?
@ItsAnotherWatch9 ай бұрын
I measured the inner width of the clasp as 18mm and the outer as 20mm. When looking at listings on AliExpress they seem to have options layed out for "Band Width" so I guess you'd pick "18mm band width". Since the link on the bracelet that attaches to the clasp is just shy of 18mm. I'm seeing milled clasps on AliExpress for as cheap as £2 so it might not be a horrible idea to get an 18mm AND a 20mm just in case the 18mm is reffering to the bracelet width BEFORE it tapers. Heck... this is why even I hesitate to just BUY a milled clasp, since i've bought some in the past that don't fit what I need them to.

This Namoki 38mm 62mas case: www.namokimods.com/en-gb/products/nmk927-62mas-skx013-watch-case-brushed-finish?_pos=10&_sid=a36fe8e2d&_ss=r&ref=itsanotherwatchYT As far as I'm aware, their cases fit the standard 28.5mm dials just like the one i've used here. So it being a smaller case, should just meet up with the edge of the dial. It will pretty much look the same but without the redundant chapter ring space. (this is the look I would go with ideally, but I wanted to test out this cheap case for this video)

@@ItsAnotherWatch I was hoping that was the case that the same dial would fit, but I wasn't sure about the length of the hands either.
