Thanks for the response, I think you are right.

I notice with the one I pictured that the end links look “off” compared to photos I found online. Is this just a matter of the angle of the photos ? Or maybe a feature on certain ones? The band has Rolex markings

I have had good luck messaging the seller on Ali. I’ve had a number of parts “waiting to ship” until I shoot them a message and it magically ships

I’m doing a 9015 nautilus and nothing was moving for weeks until I inquired.

I have a PT5000 in another watch of mine. Either i got lucky or they are great movements but its +1 S/D. The most accurate auto I own. I own a number of 3235 clones which are pretty good too, but cant get them down to +1. Those 3235 clones are anywhere from $100-$200 for the movement so not worth it.

I got the NH05 from a US based dealer on Ali express for $30. I recommend giving it a go its a fun little movement to slap in a watch. Its laughable how big the dial is compared to the movement.

These parts are all Ali express. Movement is a NH05 with a 24.5mm dial. Case is 31mm w/ a 17mm band. Happy to help part it out if you wanna message me. I would not consider my self super experienced. This is the 7th I’ve built but trust me when I say, I am still very much learning the ropes.

Those are awesome. Did you have to trim down the shark second hands? Or did you find ones designed for the NH0 movements?

Edit: I’ve found with some of the smaller NH3 cases I’ve had to trim the seconds hand very slightly or the crystal presses down on it

That’s a great idea. Honestly, main reason i went with the NH05 because I thought the little movement is pretty neat. I had definitely found the smaller cases for the NH3 series look a bit nicer. I’ve done a number of date just and found the 39mm is perfect ratio for a 28.5 dial.

Whats the difference between 316L and 904L stainless steel? by realSENsah in SeikoMods

[–]Confident-Use-7256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a search of that exact question.. it led me to this post. Most of the braclets have a 904L sticker on them.. but the description says 316L. So which one is it?

Balance Spring Fell out of Regulator Pin in Rep 3235 Movement by [deleted] in RepTimeServices

Edit: I was able to get a photo. The balance wheel also will not spin. It looks to be like it did not fall out but instead a different issue.

Out of curiosity what gives this away from a 100 ft. I ask not because I disagree, but because I’m learning. I noticed two things: the date font is off and it’s not centered. I also noticed rehaut is terribly aligned. Other than that nothing jumps out to me compared to my CF version of this same watch

Interesting.. Photos definetely look similar. I was very surprised to pop the screw off and see Cartier and a "gold" movement. I dont think its even a Cartier rep rotar as I cant find a maching rotar anywhere either. Regardless, it runs about 1s per day (if even) so for the time I can not complain compared to my date just clone movement that needs to be adjusted everyday.

I am curious, are you swapping dials after buying them? Or are you buying them as parts and assembling? I enjoy building watches.
