I've literally just ordered a shed load of Seiko parts because of you...... I didn't know I could build a watch, I didn't know I wanted to build a watch, but here we are, I'm considerably poorer, but ultimately infinitely happier..... Nice one bro

If you would have asked me a few years ago if I cared about gameboys, I would have said no. Because of you, I am now a huge retro gamer, with my favorite console being the gameboy. If you would have asked me a month ago if I cared about watches, I would have said no. Because of you, (mostly yesterday’s livestream but your other videos too) I am now wearing a watch more often and hoping to get a better one. Thanks so much for letting me find some hobbies that I genuinely enjoy (mostly the gameboy stuff but the watches I’m still figuring out). I love watching all the content you keep making, keep it up! :)
@Unlucky17762 ай бұрын
One important thing for watches Is that you should NEVER go into debt because of it! (Like taking out a loan or spending more money than you should on a watch!). For me I set a budget and I try to stick to it as closely as possible.

I started looking into this around the time you posted the first video. Tip that should be added, If people order a housing with "normal" feet for the bands, they can use any quick-disconnect bands to have more day to day variety. I have this on my smartwatch, and as I am ordering parts to repair my grandfathers old watch I am going to use new bands. Also a thing to look out for is the size of the movements and what the case takes. there are some fitments rings that can help if you have a large case with a smaller movement, but it's great to look out for.

Thank you for your instructive content. I have successfully built 2 watches so far but am struggling with 2 others. I have found that callipers are unnecessary when sizing the crown stem. I just use paper and a sharp pencil. I make 2 marks on the paper showing the length of the excess on the paper. I use that to gauge how much to remove. But of corse leave a contingency and file down and test. I have also started using blue Locktite. I look forward to your next watch making videos.

Just a little advice for the crown: Give a tiny bit of Loctite on the stem where you screw on the crown. It could unscrew from the stem, believe me you don't want that to happen 😆
@FredrikFridsten2 ай бұрын
When deciding how much to cut the stem, I've always measured the distance from the outside of the case, i.e. the inner edge of the crown when fully screwed in, to the inside of the crown with the spring compressed. Ideally I would like the spring to be fully compressed when the crown is fully screwed in.

Also, you should only tighten a screw down crown as far as it goes before your fingers slip. Make sure you avoid tightening it further than when it stops, as it could place stress on the inside of the movement and might wear down the threading sooner.

You should try loctite blue instead of superglue. Had you gotten a good connection with the glue before, you would have been hosed fixing this bc the crown would have been stuck on. Also, pinch the threads with the pliers when tightening the crown on the stem. Where you’re grabbing, you could bend or damage it. That’s the gear for the stem interacting with the movement.
