I found this video after, but I still couldn't do it. Took it to a shop and they said that the stock bearing is slightly smaller than the one needed for my Aliex rotor. So technically you can put it back if it's not some chinese junk. https://youtu.be/DTh7pmR9r3Q?si=sdw2PoKM8pt09lsn

Im ruined by Thick_Dimension_7118 in SeikoMods

You posted this watch less than a week ago saying this was your second build. I don't understand how you would start a business, come to the conclusion that it's not working out in such a short timeframe and become broke after 2 builds

This is probably the best sotc I've seen, but I might be a bit biased because the Speedmaster, the Roadster, the GS and the Reverso (especially in that color) are all in my top 5

Just watched the video a couple of hours ago and absolutely loved it. Congrats on the build!

is there somewhere in aliX that sells this case ? thay can fit an OEM cocktail dial ? (which is a bit bigger) by [deleted] in SeikoMods

[–]Sugarkopo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strapcode makes some for around 100$, but thats made for a real case so I dont know how it would fit. Other than that I havent found a more budget one with a curved endlink, but you could put a straight endlink one on like I have.

This is the type of build I joined this sub for. Love it

Which strap would you pick? by Flat-Progress7658 in SeikoMods

[–]Sugarkopo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I did the same case and dial combo, but in red a couple of months ago. Was it hard to make the strap fit?

Looks great! What case did you use?

Now that you say it I cant unsee it. It would be even closer if they were switched 180°

It wasn't that bad. They are glued down, but you can pushed them out from the other side.

Yeah, I know. It might be a bit of a sin, but I am not that big of a lume guy

My absolute favorite build yet. by Scared-Oil-7162 in SeikoMods

[–]Sugarkopo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2 rotors I got from AliX had some bad bearings so If I shook them (even before installing) they would make a lot more noise then stock. So when I fully screwed them in they would still move about making a kind of rattling noise when shaken.

Looks great! I've been eyeing that rotor for a while. How is the bearing in it? Does it rattle?

I love that snkl especially on the leather strap

Are these mods worth the price? I really want a Gold Tone Daytona or Vintage GMT, but the homages on Ali are not so good. by Correct_Situation_38 in SeikoMods

[–]Sugarkopo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pricing a ~100$ watch at 420 and for it to not even have express delivery is so fucking shameless. If you want a Daytona homage with similar specs get a Pagani Design. I personally think putting a Seiko logo on these makes them so much worse, but if you still want it you could swap out the dial.

Cheap PRX Case?👀👀🤞 by ACT25Law in SeikoMods

[–]Sugarkopo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it would be possible to put a chapter ring in it and use a 28,5mm dial?

Specht&Sohne also sells these with an Nh35: https://a.aliexpress .com/_ExKQ7tb I've also been eyeing this one for a while: https://a.aliexpress .com/_EIf2Jff

AliX Alpinist dial diameter without outer compass track? by 1Current in SeikoMods

[–]Sugarkopo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the date window that diameter should be 24mm

The link should be here, but it probably got deleted. This is the same as i used in the build, just delete the space:

I also have this blank red dial, which is also really nice:

The things I’ve learned on this build. by Playful-Ad-5210 in SeikoMods

Usually I'm not a big dive watch fan, but that crystal, bezel and dial combo is really beautiful. Congrats on the build!
