Really enjoyed this two part story. It would be interesting if you could explore creating your own logo and adding it to the watch dial, that would really make it custom!

Continue with this custom watch videos! I absolutely love watching you build watches, since you don’t do it in a professional/corporate way.

Im in the process of ordering parts for my own field watch. Ive found this series the most down to earth, and helpful one of the many modding videos of KZfaq. Good work dude. The bad thing, is that im already planning my second one before ive even ordered the parts for my first.

I love how happy this makes you.

Really enjoying this content Elliot, makes me want go back to analog again! So cool. ❤

Would you be able to put out a video tutorial on how to search for and find the parts? Like how you make sure the parts will all work with each other, keywords you use to find specific styles of hands, cases, faces…

It looks so cool loving this series.

Built my very own after seeing your first watch video and I'm obsessed! I made the mistake of not getting a hand pusher or the fancy blue tack, so the seconds hand took me a while to get on but nothing beats wearing a watch you built every day :)

I love watching these. I've now built close to 15 watches(I need to stop, help me please) since your 62MAS homage where you got me hooked on this hobby. I can't wait to watch the next one. Cheers

Michael J Fox helping with the hand placement.

i just ordered parts yesterday for my first build thanks in part to this series making it look approachable. Its a Seiko and somewhat funnily i did white and silver with the cyan lume and hands

I would've never been interested in watching somebody build watches or a scooter, but somehow I enjoy both when Elliott does it.

I was glad to see this pop up in my feed. Thanks for creating this.

Amazing mate, please keep doing these vids. I've ordered my first tools to play arounf with my watch and you inspire to try and build my own from scratch

Still a beautiful watch and it's even prettier with the new bracelet. I love it.

lovely summerwatch oh so fresh and clean you ever have questions i am a watchmaker from holland so just ask!! rodico is watchmaker third hand and carbon tweezers very nice and yes movement holders you realy need!!!

Omg I have just ordered all the bits to make mine exactly the same 😮

I am so glad to see a part two on this ! Really liking your watch content ! Keep on going ! 😁🙏🏻

Very nice Elliot!

I recently started building NH35 based watches and enjoy your content. By accident I found that a tiny amount of rodico on the tip of the second hand pusher grips the hand directly over the post. With a decent magnification I can line up and push the hand on easily. Also the grippy back of the case cushion is excellent for removing/tightening screw-in case backs.

Great work!

Hey man I saw that u didnt link the movement holder, I would love it if u did

I use a hockey puck as a cushion… works wonders

Loved the first video. Its even better with the new band. I have the same one on my galaxy watch 6 classic.

Absolutely love these watch videos

ive been binging all your content on both channels since finding these watch videos lmao inspiring stuff.

im loving these watch videos!!

Awesome upgrade! 👌 Man, I feel the same way about the finger-doms 😂 Definitely make the fingers numb afterwards, and they are also quite slippery.

Well done. Super nice looking watch. Those AliExpress parts can be extremely good quality.

The boy is learning...but twist the rodeco to a point and it's sticky enough to barely pick up the hand by its pointy tip allowing you to place the hand and push fit it with the slightest touch

the new bracelet fits so well!!

Really nice job you did elliot

Thank you for inspiring me to make watch content

1:00 My Vostok Komandirskie watch also is like that. The hour and minute hands are out by 5 minutes and the 24 wheel of this model is out by 20 minutes from the hours hand. Not that this bothers me as it does not affect reading the time and is part of the Russian made roughness of it. The most watchmaking I have done is regulating this piece and modifying 3 Casios.

It will sound weird but when my plastic tips tweezers wear out, I just sharpen them with an exacto knife. Works like a charm to make a propper sharp tip

the custom watch is insane

Love the colour you chose for this watch really great content if my eyes 👀 were good enough I really would give making one the same a go.👍👍🙏

omg I love the turquoise color

Would love to see you make a open heart Watch!!

Nice watch. I wonder if there’s a bezel that’s half blue half silver. That would be so nice

I have here latex gloves, finger cots and a bag of cotton gloves, took me a while to find cots that I could put up with as I have super thick hands and fingers, my little fingers are both Z's and my middle finger is Z+4... standard cots just don't fit nor gloves but the cotton ones do stretch enough to not be restrictive.

it is stunning man, wow....

Rodeco is great stuff for cleaning smudges too

Great job man, love to fallow you... Frédéric from Paris France.

Another custom watch video, yes man 👍🏽👍🏽

awesome video man! would be great if you did a marinemaster homage, like the original but with sapphire and full lumed ceramic bezel etc.

It's like the DS wire removal and install the whole time

love that Casio, I've got the same one

I got myself a nice new watch because of these videos!

i feel like it would probably easier for you to have a much lower chair/much higher desk (that is the setup most matchmaker use) other than that great job

love the tiffany blue color 🥰 but i like the oyster band more than the jubilee one

Very Nice, just wondered why it took you so long to use the movement holder you bought 😂

Jubilee is way better than the Oyster bracelet!! Also a nice addition that you have the Glidelock adjustment on it, which the real GMT doesn't actually have! Wish mine did!

About the GMT hand, would be just moving/setting it to align? At least on a ronda 515.24H the GMT hands moves freely on the setting position

Looks beautiful!

Just made my own watch today. Handy are the hardest part

You should get a domed crystal too

Great job

Hey I see that there are a lot of dial size options available 29, 31 mm. What size should be ordered to fit this submariner style case?

I'm also thinking about making a Seiko Nh36 powered daily driver

love the meticulousness, do the bezel next. It seems slightly misaligned 😅keep up the builds!

boutta build my own this weekend

Yeah that’s a cool watch

Small tio: you Should not be blowing on the movement side, can blow oils out of place. Love the enthusiasm.

what is the best way to trim the crown stem?

Really wanna build my own watch might have to

Hell yea, great video. Funny enough I ended up building my own "bruce wayne" style GMT watch after you first built this watch. Seconds hands are really tricky!

Doesn’t the GMT hand move independently from the other hands when you’re at the date selection function and turn the crown the opposite direction?

And gmt hand shud be above hour hand if we speaking with Rolex inspired in mind. P/s if you have near to you any local vapemod vendor you can buy a ceramic tip tweezer.

Amazing

Not something I'd wear, but damn that is a good looking watch

Nicely done, that was professional work even too professional for a cheap japanese movement 😂. I have really enjoyed your work and of course not everyone would agree with you about how gorgeous is the watch but that is because it is your own work and sweat. When will you fix old watches?

White rubber sports strap!

Thats a lot of that blue stuff! Just pinch a lil of it and stick it at the end of a toothpick next time 😂

Did you check out oil filled watches? They look sooo trippy

I don't really get watches but... Elliot is nice

Another banger mate! Whats your sort of wait time from Aliexpress?

u the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rly enjoyed

Is it possible do not use the movement holder into the case watch?

can you please update the movement holder link? thanks

Nice

It will look better on a white oysterflex integrated strap

I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

Seeing these videos makes me wanna build my own. Anyone know where I can get the parts I need?

You really hammered us with ads on this one…

Yes, more watch mods. 🎉

AMazing 😊

Question, why couldn't you just adjust the GMT hand to line up with the hour and minute hand? I can adjust the GMT hand by twisting the opposite direction from the date settings on the crown. Did it still just refuse to line up then?

wristwatch revival if he were more chaotic but in a funny way:

Is the bracelet actually like a glide lock or is it just mimicking the look?

my favourite youtuber

What dose the gmt do?

bangin

Welcome to the custom world. I come from custom cars and trucks with no experience with watches. I'll tell ya when you build something every little thing "wrong" will drive you nuts. Everything I've ever built i can point out the tiniest imperfections that normal people overlook. Even after i been paid and a customer is happy it still drives me nuts when I see it and know. However there is a point you have to learn to let the tiny details go or you go broke. When it's your own thing you go after it. After all you're just wasting your time and not a customer. A hint that wont be worth a hoot for your camera work but worked great when i was a kid building models and small parts is one of those magnifying things on a adjustment arm with a lamp. I used those visior things but the one on the arm I liked better for things you aint moving around.

Genuine question, have have you ever used a magnifying glass setup? After watching your videos I made my first watch and was loosing my shit doing the second hand....I don't think old age helps 😂

isnt the gmt hand supposed to be set by itself? why dismantle the watch to sinch the 2 hands?

could you make a video about how to find the suiting parts for your dream watch please?

why don't you get an aftermarket rolex dial

I love those metal watch bands but they absolutely shred my arm hairs in an unpleasant way lol

He defo redone it after recording 🤣
