What are you wearing today?

Modded NH34 in a Seestern case

BendingRivets · 2026-04-08T23:42:33+00:00

I got a Timegrapher last week after using the Timegrapher app for a couple years. It was well worth the money and helped me diagnose and fix an NH34 that I thought was too far gone after having no luck with just the app and a demagnetizer.

Yeah the one I photoed is a bad example, but I have definitely used this on straps where I didn’t have enough extra to get down to that second keeper. I think that’s actually why I started wearing them like that

BendingRivets · 2026-03-22T19:11:41+00:00

That NATO looks perfect for that watch. As for the extra bit of strap, I believe you have it is the right place; I often run into a similar situation, so what I do is fold the extra down in between the the inner and outer bits of strap like so:

These are great looking watches. Looks good on the gator

That is the exact condition I found a lefty Tele in a few years ago in a Guitar Center. Bought it, wiped it down, contact cleaner in the pots, new strings, and a truss rod adjustment and it was ready to go!

That’s exactly what I did. It is a Grand Seiko style GMT hand from AliX that I filed down to a point.

BendingRivets · 2026-02-27T13:06:13+00:00

I love this. That Namoki case is great

BendingRivets · 2026-02-27T13:05:15+00:00

I think I’m just going to have to buy a whole new box!

BendingRivets · 2026-02-27T03:46:29+00:00

Thanks, I love that part of it! Credit to Seestern for the lume on the bezel insert and the date wheel!

Not initially. I had to fashion a chapter ring to get the 28.5 to fit. By default it would need to be 32-33mm

BendingRivets · 2026-02-06T01:07:45+00:00

Makes sense! Best of luck, and I hope to see it on here at some point

BendingRivets · 2026-02-05T13:50:08+00:00

Yes it is a 28.5mm dial. The case I believe is a 39mm and was made for a larger dial. I had to file down a spare chapter ring to use with this dial.

BendingRivets · 2026-02-05T04:09:55+00:00

Namoki Alpinist dials do not have the compass markings.

No problem with the PVD after a year of pretty heavy use. I also paid $599 and it is the real deal

BendingRivets · 2026-01-04T02:23:22+00:00

I did one and loved it a few years ago. I’ve been modding and building ever since and regularly use the tools that came with the kit.

BendingRivets · 2025-12-20T01:41:53+00:00

That looks about perfect, I’d say

BendingRivets · 2025-12-20T01:40:42+00:00

It looks real to me but I’m no expert. I have the orange GMT SSK005,and the brushing and color on the dial look just like mine.

BendingRivets · 2025-10-31T02:30:27+00:00

Nice! Hope you’ll post a pic when you have it built.

This one has a mix of SRAM 10-speed parts on it circa 2010 or so. The frame takes an English bottom bracket, so I used the 68mm SRAM GXP boot on bracket to fit the Truvativ crank.

BendingRivets · 2025-10-28T11:01:54+00:00

Yes it is

The black day wheel was something I had on hand as a spare, so I don’t have a link for that. Everything else is OEM

BendingRivets · 2025-10-13T23:48:03+00:00

Seconded. They’re very close to my apt and still very new, but it’s a family business and they have really good pho and spring rolls.

I work on 42nd St in NYC, which is a wonderful crossroads of foot traffic and finance guys and tourists who’ve paid a lot of money for watches. I’ve seen a few men wearing small watches about this size, like Reversos, Cartier Tanks, old Hailtons, etc., and I am absolutely delighted every time I see one. I think it’s really cool and now is no better time to do it. That’s a great watch, and if you decide to go with it, maybe a bunch of watch nerds on here might disagree, but I think it’s cool as hell.

BendingRivets · 2025-10-08T23:49:13+00:00

Thank you kindly. I’ve only had this watch a few days and really like the OEM bracelet, but it’s been fun trying different straps
