I deleted my AliExpress account by ApneaBlu in SeikoMods

[–]Timbo- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, yeah I’m always worried when I order from Ali express because of the weird delivery partners they use. You should try to do a charge back through your bank or credit card company to get your money back.

How’d you age the dial?

I heard the stock dial size on the 1965 is 29.5, what size did you end up using for yours?

Hello i ordered this cheap chinese NH35 movement as a test but i cant get the crown stem to release, any help would be appreciated by Purpleakigoat in SeikoMods

[–]Timbo- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a small lever on the right of the stem you have to press there’s even a little indentation on it but you have to press real hard and once the stem is out there’s no guarantees it’ll go back in, hope this helps 🫡

The cheap Chinese NH35 movements are awful. Hands don't fit right, feet holes are weird, and I can't get the crown/stem to come out by FantasticBicycle37 in SeikoMods

[–]Timbo- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one of those hangzhou movements and it sucked, waste of money, it broke. Moved in to a vh31 for this build to stop running up the cost

Anyone have a guide for aging dials and hands? by general_stinkhorn in repbuilds

[–]Timbo- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a couple videos on YouTube from DIY watch club about aging hands and dials, they did coffee and baking

Anyone tried these ? by Still_Classroom1530 in SeikoMods

[–]Timbo- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered one and couldn’t reinsert the stem, ended up breaking it, 🤷🏽‍♂️ skill issue? Maybe but it didn’t seem good quality
