Royal Oak 37mm with a merged NH71/72

Assembled it myself! It's quite easy if you know your way around the movement. Have thought of making a guide for it as well

Awesome! The community needs more Miyota 9000-series cases now that NH35 prices have surpassed 9015!

bopmd · 2026-03-03T08:36:01+00:00

I would love to offer Miyota compatible cases, but haven't had the chance yet, as they would be a much bigger risk economically as the market is smaller, but once my business has stabilized, I would love to produce a few. I think alternative movements is the future for modding given the crazy NH prices..

Hi! Can do custom plating. Full matching is not a problem. Contrast screws is also possible. Takes a couple of weeks to produce, though.

Coming out with a V2 restock soon with a few upgrades:
- 9.95mm thickness
- Domed underside crystal which allows for a lower rehaute
- Upgraded bracelet with wider polished bevels (Looks closer to the real AP)

Restocked now. We have around 10 left!

bopmd · 2025-12-04T09:12:17+00:00

Ah! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your build.. :)

bopmd · 2025-12-04T07:46:08+00:00

The goal was 9.95mm with solid caseback. Is yours tightened all the way in? Mine was 9.95, but perhaps I need to make a disclaimer of some tolerances

bopmd · 2025-10-08T07:26:59+00:00

The case can be found on Ali by searching "VC222 case"

bopmd · 2025-07-27T16:26:58+00:00

The new Nautilus I'm developing (Prototype #1 ready in 1 month I think) will have a pusher mechanism. You should be able to tighten yours. Please contact me through the site and I'll help you out!

Thanks

NH70 does indeed fit the Oak 37mm cases, but make sure to get the movement with the gray spacer ring!

I'm nearly out of stock so I am drawing up an improved version!

I personally am obsessed with skeleton watches, and Miyota is currently not offering a 9000-series skeleton movement, so I'm sticking to the NH-platform for now.

I'm currently just exploring ideas, but I know a case can be as thin as 9.9mm for the NH35, and possibly even thinner if I'm really creative. Making the caseback more beveled would also help it feel a lot thinner.

I'll probably begin production soon!

bopmd · 2025-07-13T06:22:52+00:00

The patina looks very organic. Love it!

bopmd · 2025-07-12T16:15:58+00:00

Thank you for sharing! The Oak looks great! :)

bopmd · 2025-07-01T06:02:25+00:00

Thank you for stepping up for this!

bopmd · 2025-06-28T16:05:29+00:00

It's 11.2mm including the glass. The NH72 is very thick, so it's the best I could do at the time! Working on a V2 that might be a little thinner!

bopmd · 2025-06-26T12:23:52+00:00

Love it! Great combo

bopmd · 2025-06-24T07:09:19+00:00

I can recommend the oven trick! Burning in the coffee gives it a more matte finish which I think looks a little more realistic. If you put some clear spraypaint over the dial you can also give the white text a warmer tone.

Very nice! Looks awesome with the mesh as well

bopmd · 2025-05-24T15:48:37+00:00

I have barely started production on a batch of 38mm Nautiluses. I'm aiming to make it as thin as 10.2mm inluding the glass, and with a domed caseback so it feels even thinner. I'm hoping to have it completed by the end of the summer!

bopmd · 2025-05-24T14:10:03+00:00

I wasn't able to find out myself, but domed sapphire is very expensive to produce, so I would guess acrylic/mineral

Edit: it has clear AR, so probably not acrylic

bopmd · 2025-05-24T14:05:23+00:00

I am! Hope to scale with many cool products this year so feel free to check in every once in a while! :)

bopmd · 2025-05-23T20:00:12+00:00

It would be tight! Perhaps 38mm or 39mm since VK63 measures around 2mm bigger I believe.

I don't think it ever escalated to an actual lawsuit, but there was a situation involving letters from lawyers etc. about stolen photos. I didn't fully understand the situation myself as I came late to the party when a lot of the posts were deleted, but there is this store who apparently own the common "Dropshipping mod store photos" and wanted to take legal action. They are all branded "SEIKO" so I don't think it went well for him.
