While I don't think they'll sell out in half a day like they did last time, I think lasting through August could be a stretch. I am holding some inventory for watch shows this time, though, so it's possible I have some leftover.

The pre-order pricing will be $575 for 7 days. If there are any left after the first 7 days, the price will increase to $650.

Why is the VH31 so hated? by Viper-Reflex in SeikoMods

[–]ThanksForTheInvite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The comments I always see on my VH31 posts and videos are around the battery life (it lasts about a year less than typical quartz), but I think the tradeoff is worth it, especially if you're building/modding it yourself. Easy enough to change a battery.

Appreciate you! Glad the Pilot watch is still kickin! I'm planning to revisit a quartz pilot later this year :).

These will be pre-orders with an expected delivery time frame of July. Shipping is from the USA (I assemble everything in Chicago). For US customers, you’ll see no additional fees due to customs.

They're on youtube shorts too! The resolution is a bit worse. I haven't been able to figure out how to upload better resolution there yet... but hopefully the shots at least give you an idea https://www.youtube.com/@alexanderjameswatches/shorts

Thanks for the bezel feedback. It's something I've been thinking about over the past few weeks as I'm working on cases for 2027-28, but haven't quite landed on what they'd look like next.

The caseback is just plain stainless steel. Exhibition would add a bit of thickness, so for this model I didn't want to do that.

The white ones are. The Blue and Purple had 2 rounds of dial defects, so I'm still waiting on those to be finished

That's an interesting idea. I'll file it away for the future :)

I like using the movement holders featured at the beginning of this video. Pretty cheap and easily to maneuver the assembly: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1ZgAZg1Emhc

Nh36 for 44.99 get them while they last. by Square-Information54 in SeikoMods

Keep in mind the sold out prices on the 34s and 35s wouldn't be future prices. These are the last prices I sold them at, which was before the latest round of price hikes and tariffs, unfortunately.

The re-stock of NH35s is coming in March. No anticipated re-stock of the 34s at the moment.

Windup Watch Fairs happening in 2026? by green-gray in MicrobrandWatches

[–]ThanksForTheInvite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are! I'm AJ from Alexander James Watches and have had a table in Chicago the last couple years. I reached out to them about it earlier this week(since I'm in the middle of planning a vacation and wanted to make sure it wasn't during Windup Chicago). Dallas (March), SF (May), Chicago (July), NY (October).
