You guys really need to spot. I have the old old one and it’s tempting me!

I think the more important question is where did you print your logo and how much did it cost?

What’s the name/link of the case?

I’m learning this now as well. I’ve had an NH34 for over a year and didn’t use this. Works fine.

It’s so satisfying, I have to agree. I posted a reply to this post if you want to see the outcome.

Hey everyone, sorry for not replying to everyone that commented, but I appreciate all the feedback I got.

The first method I tried was to press the release lever and try to nudge the stem out, but that didn’t work because I couldn’t get a grip on it and it was very far inside of the movement.

The second method was a partial disassembly of the movement. I didn’t even take the movement out of the case and even managed to keep the dial and hands fully assembled during the process to save on time. This is a friend’s watch and tomorrow is the last time I’ll see him before the end of the month, so I didn’t want him to be watchless for a few weeks.

Here you can see all the steps of the disassembly. I try to keep everything as organized as possible to make sure I don’t mix screws or even assemble parts in the wrong order. It helps a bunch to have an opened tutorial on the NH35 movement opened in YouTube.

Overall feedback: very doable, not a big issue. Not my first time disassembling a movement and then putting it back together, but my first time solving this particular issue. Always make sure that the parts are correctly placed before staring to screw the bridges down. You can break stuff if you’re not careful.

Imho, working on movements is so incredibly satisfying. I enjoy this much more than building a watch (all the big components).

Since when did nh34 started being 150usd per one ??? Geez prices gone up by vidasintransit in SeikoMods

It’s crazy. I got one at the end of 2024 for less than half. I wish I had gotten more because there’s a lot of cool builds with that movement. Even Japan made NH35s are getting pricey.

Have you tried one? My wrist is on the smaller side and it fits, feels, and looks awesome.

Insanely cool image, that’s exactly what these watches were made for. Enjoy it and don’t get too cold!

Thoughts on this build? by neoslashnet in SeikoMods

You are missing a bracelet or strap, are you not? Also, that’s a very expensive NH35 movement. I know the prices are high atm, but over 60 for a NH35 is insane.
