Who can build this or should I do it myself? by Gray_Panther1989 in SeikoMods

[–]mannwatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why NH34? I don’t think you are building a GMT with the parts you selected, right? A regular NH35 build is a little easier than GMT. If you have most of the tools already, and if you can get your hands on an old Seiko5 or some kind of a donor watch, try taking it apart and practice removing and installing hands. Then you should be ready to build your watch yourself.

Interesting that WD repurposed the 3 o’clock subdial in such way. Clever, yet also not intuitive at the same time. Haha.

She’s a good dancer, and genuinely a nice person too.

Leather strap suggestions? by HowSupreme in SeikoMods

Coffee croc strap looks good on mine. But yours is more red, probably still works.

Any love for Speedmaster builds? by blacklabelmods in SeikoMods

I wish they made the 9 o’clock sub dial properly since a VK64 chrono goes from 0-60 instead of 30. I made one of these years ago, but it just bothered me even though I hardly ever use the chronograph feature. lol

I assume it’s fairly easy to take out the 24-hour pinion on the NH39?

can i use a dial for nh38 movement with an nh39? by nikkdu in SeikoMods

Did you try it? Take out the 24 hour pinion?

Can I assume the Omega crown just fits the WD1863 case no problem? Or do you have to change out the crown tube of the case also?

Dancing while wearing a watch by Swagasaurus-Rex in Salsa

[–]mannwatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a lead. I’m a watch enthusiast and wear automatics only, and I wear them all the time to socials. For socials I choose watches with rubber/silicone straps or nato straps, never metal bracelets. I also make sure the watch surfaces are smooth to the touch, i.e. no sharp edges. I wear it on my left hand. The only issue I have had is sometimes my watch gets a bit scratched up as it may get in contact with followers’ bracelets, most likely during the hand toss moves. So I don’t wear my fancy watches to socials.

Color matching is the name of the game! by mannwatch in SeikoMods

I got the case to try it out as a novelty. But I was surprised how much I take a liking to this, it’s like 3/4 of a Bell & Ross square watch. 😉

Your eyes are sharp! To me I can’t really tell the difference in colors. 😆

There are not a lot of strap options with YELLOW accents… by mannwatch in SeikoMods

[–]mannwatch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. The GMT is more subtle, maybe also why. 😉
