Great videos mate, really enjoying them! I've got an AliExpress cart loaded up with parts, tools etc. for my first watch. Each video I get closer to placing an order - little bit nervous as I'm not great with fiddly stuff like this but you make it look so simple. Keep up the great work, always appreciated!

Hello, lovely built! I recently got into the hobby myself and i think your videos really help. Maybe somewhere in the future you can create some sort of vintage watch? I really like the look of those. Anyways, thanks for the video and keep it up!❤

Great series of videos. Have you considered a ‘Rootbeer’ seiko style watch? Also, do you sell the complete watches or are they just for your own collection?

Nice, quick, simple build, takes the fear out of new builders watching this! I've done an SKX007 and a Willard, And waiting on a Seamaster and a Samuri to arive, oh and another SKX in black for my son. All from Alli and usual spend is around £60-£70 then source a strap from amazon. Have the skx on a leather strap and the willard on a nato ftrap, got a canvas/rubber one coming for the seamaster and the samuri???????????? Not sure yet, keep up the great videos, don't need perfect lighting, 4K cameras and SMR sound quality, just honest talking and good advice! Just got a crystal press £9 amazon and had a practice on some old cheap watch, going to get a bit deeper with bezels, chapter rings and glass on next months build :)

Good video! If you are open to suggestions I would adjust the sound mix so your voice is more prominent instead of the sounds from the work bench. If you are serious about your channel, and it looks like you are, invest in a microphone pop filter and a decent cardioid microphone. Nice build and for $60 it's an incredible watch. Subscribed.

Thank you for the comment I love feedback! Thanks for the sub. I was trying to keep the noises from the workbench in. Would you advise completely removing it? The microphone I’m using is a good quality razer stand alone mic . I am going to be fixing the lighting too moving forward

Hello. The watch looks great and I’m sure your videos will come along just fine. It’s all a learning curve. I do agree with the above, your voiceover and bench tracks are competing with each other and it makes everything sound a bit cluttered and distracting. Part of the charm of these videos is how relaxing/satisfying they are, so be mindful of the sounds people would rather not hear, such as the clanging of tools etc. You could lower the bench sound considerably while you talk (raising the volume for key moments such as winding etc.) Remember there’s no need to fill every moment with voiceover, let your work do the talking. Also, don’t be afraid to take your time a bit, 10mins is actually quite short for a watch build and this one did feel like you were rushing through the work to get to the end. One final thing, you wore finger cots on your thumbs and only one index finger. My ocd was going crazy 😂 Catch you next time. Cheers!

Thanks I saw your last comment ! It was an issue with the render. Yes I’m going to try and do some screen recordings. I’m not sure if music would take away from the video.

I hate you. I just built my second watch and it took me 2 hours to get the second hand on and then I ended up bending the minute hand and had to remove it again. I don't know how you managed to do it on your first attempt.

The crazy thing about making homage Seikos at home is that the case and bracelet quality alone make for a better watch than Seiko provide. No folded stamped metal bracelets and clasps, no stamped and folded hollow end links, no flimsy off-centre bezels and aluminium index inserts and no improperly centred hands and you get to use a beautifully engineered case that his higher quality precision and finishing with a scratch proof genuine sapphire crystal plus you get to ensure proper greasing of the o-ring gaskets to the crown and caseback. Also you can select a window case back and buy and fit a premium automatic rotor with pearlage/Geneva striping. You get to spec out a watch that is so many levels above what Seiko have to offer on anything less than £1,000. Seiko steadfastly refuse to use Sapphire crystals at most price points and their crappy mineral crystals scratch up against most things they come into contact with, they are almost as flimsy as the old polycarbonate plastics used.
