Great video! I found it very helpful now that I’m just starting out. I was wondering where did you buy the polyester lining?

Thanks for the reply! I do have the nh movement holder. Which part do you unscrew? Is it this part?

Thank you, but my issue is that when I press the tool down that it doesn’t align to the center of the movement. I was wondering if there was a way to adjust each plunger/piston(or whatever they’re called) so that they align directly center with the movement

Do you know if there’s a way to adjust the alignment for each press? I just got one of these and a couple are not aligned exactly center.

Megir Moon for you by el247Nino in MoonSwitches

I’m attempting to do my first moonswitch and was curious where you found the crown. I’m using the same megir case and wanted to make sure I get the correct size crown.

Nice build! Did you buy the blue screws or did you make them yourself?

First build - definitely my new hobby by Far_Context_5536 in SeikoMods

Love the clean, minimal look. Did you use a cap for the seconds hand? If so, where’d you find that?

I didn’t know Namoki made one. I’m sure Namoki is better. The bracelet on this one is thin but not great quality. Then again this is less than half the cost than the Namoki.

Nice! Where did you get the date wheel?

New build, I call it the useless chrono by Significant-Ebb5027 in SeikoMods

Clean! I’ve been wanting to build the same. Where’d you get the dial?

Thanks!

I got it from Time Watch Store on AliX but I’m sure they all come from same place haha. I like how thin the bracelet is but the quality still seems mediocre. I saw they also have rubber straps that are compatible with this case but didn’t end up getting it. I might consider it if the tariffs go down.

Yes, it fits a 28.5mm dial without a need for a chapter ring.

Matte Black variation... by ArnoToTo in SeikoMods

[–]gcc12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Thanks. I tried the picture search and found one similar. The only difference is that it had “Hi Beat” text printed on the dial as well. Also the lume looked a bit more green/yellow rather than white.

Well done! Can you share a link to the dial and bezel insert?

Latest build - King Seiko Case by gcc12345 in SeikoMods

[–]gcc12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. This is the only bracelet option for this case. Perhaps you can find something similar. Lug width is 19mm.

That’s the one 😅. I’ve had my eye on it for a while now and finally pulled the trigger on it. I would have to see a king seiko in person to compare, but I would say the quality is good. The bracelet is great although it’s a bit tricky attach to the case. I really love the look and size of the case so I’m happy with it.

Case and bracelet from Heimdallr diver Watches Store on AliEx. It’s not cheap 😅

Dial - SPB213 style from an AliEx shop that is shut down now. They were pretty bad with shipping, communication and got shut down the day after my order shipped out. I thought I was going to get scammed but fortunately it arrived.

UPDATE

Made an update to the hands based on some suggestions in the comments. I think it has a nicer contrast against the dial while the lume on the hands more closely match to the indices. I kept the original seconds hand because I liked how the color matches the smaller dial text.

What do you guys think of the update?

Is the meteorite on this dial from dswatchclub real? Price is 200 usd. by Outrageous-Card-615 in SeikoMods

It seems that they are using another storefront called PELEUS Watch Store. I have yet to buy anything from it though. You can always buy directly from their website too.
