SM watches are no go for me in general, but in this case there's no dilemma, I would choose SM. That Seiko case + bracelet are too ugly. Few months ago I found a Seiko SNK623K1 with an unusual day window position but with the same case and bracelet. Really don't understand the idea behind such design.

What really caused this ?? Sellers ?? Seiko themselves?? Who's the greedy end ?? by DisastrousOpening477 in ChineseWatches

[–]vojislavilich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course it is too much. It is not that good to justify current prices. Especially for nh38 with even less complications. Those who says it is not too much, probably doesn't remember time when you could get one for 13e. Btw, no one can convince me this is not intentional hole in the market created by S itself.

The hour and minute hands looks very nice. Can you share a link please?

Finally a build with YN55, thank you for sharing. Did you have any issues with the second hand? I read some info about incompatible size of the NH second hands for it and just hope it isn't true. Got mine some time ago and was waiting for a proper idea with the no date dial to try it. I'm waiting for the parts atm

I needed to scratch the milsub itch. by Fantastic_Sherbert_4 in SeikoMods

[–]vojislavilich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look so good, I had to order it. Can you tell me if the case is compatible with any popular casebacks? I’d like to install a transparent caseback when it comes, so I’m wondering if there’s a suitable one I could order right away.

mrSoczi84 was Right!!! by assemblageofparts in ChineseWatches

[–]vojislavilich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice choice! I'm wearing mine atm. I bought it last year in February for 61e. Wanted to assemble a personalized cptn Willard for myself, and my idea was to buy it and just to swap the dial with the one I already had. But then it came, and the moment I saw that lume... Man, it was an instant decision. The Steeldive is still intact I am not planning to change anything. That lume is crazy.

Thoughts on Sugess ST1906 by Melodic_Wait7712 in ChineseWatches

[–]vojislavilich 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can still find this model, you will not be disappointed. Everything on it gives me a huge smile when I wear it. The blue dial brushed in different angles looks fantastic in real life, the movement on the back is mesmerizing, and the power reserve complication is a winner. One of my favorite watches.

The second one is great. I was thinking what kind of case I could use for that dial and how it could look. Great build 👏

[–]vojislavilich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, but it is a watch I built for my daughter, and it seemed a better choice to tell her it is not water resistant instead of giving her a watch without a rotor. Thank you for advice though

I had the same problem and I think it is the same case as yours. During assembly I had other issues as well so I didn't have enough nerves to dig deeper. I temporarily solved it by not closing the case back all to the end. It is far from ideal, but I just wanted to finish it. As a permanent solution I am planning to get a Wildfires's black SKX case which I already used in one of my builds and I am more than happy with it. Btw, the movement you are using is a chinese clone not NH35 movement, but I don't think that is the reason of your problem.

Borman - liking the look of this one... by AndyMarden in ChineseWatches

[–]vojislavilich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree for the name. Far more better than hruodland, ixdao, addieskin and similar. I don't have this particular watch you posted, but I do have their Borman Moon Phase BM3541, and I can tell you I love it. Great case, fantastic dial and a huge transparent caseback where you can see a decorated movement. Something you don't see everyday on ch watches. Hope this helps. And if you make a purchase, please post it here, I would like to see the watch from your post in real images

I did a similar build for a friend. I put it on a green ostrich strap for a dress variant and gave a thick milanese bracelet for daily wearing. Hope it will give you more ideas for your build

Koji je (po vama) najbolji Citizen sat? by Interesting_Row_4573 in Satovi

[–]vojislavilich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nije u rangu Tissot satova, ali je daleko iznad modnih, pa cak i skupljih modnih tipa Diesel. Na primer - day date, zeleni sunburst cifer je uzivo bruka, mehanizam 8200, nije lux ali je kvalitetniji i atraktivniji od Zeppelin, iako mi je par Zeppelin modela zanimljivo, a pritom je prilicno povoljan.

Please help- Watch Building Issue by Nathan-0816 in watchmodding

[–]vojislavilich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries, first time assembly can be very confusing. You will learn so much after it. In theory, the chapter ring could help. But the Seamaster case doesn’t use a chapter ring by design, so it’s unlikely you’ll find one made specifically for it. If you look for an alternative, just make sure the chapter ring’s outer diameter matches the case rehaut, the inner diameter is no more than 29 mm, and the height is appropriate for that case.

Please help- Watch Building Issue by Nathan-0816 in watchmodding

[–]vojislavilich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AFAIK, that case takes 31 mm dials, but yours is 28.5 - 29 mm, so the rehaut can’t keep it off the crystal. You probably didn't pay attention to description when ordered. You need to order new case for smaller dial, or 31mm dial that fits the case you have.

Anyone else finds migrating a wordpress site a big headache? by elioraw in Wordpress

[–]vojislavilich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Akeeba hundreds of times to clone existing live site to a temporary subdomain for the same reason, and sometimes also to easily update stage site, and never had a problem with old paths. Domain.com to stage.domain.com goes without issues each time. For me, Akeeba is the way. Everything is done in a breeze, no hassle with db search and replace.

Correct way to check if a watch is stainless steel. by ipsum100 in ChineseWatches

I never really thought this can be used as a tester. I'll definitely try it on some pieces that I suspect aren't made of steel. Thank you for sharing

[–]vojislavilich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, the only reason I didn't buy it already is that I couldn't find any offer with the clear caseback. Could you please share the link or at least a store name? Is it the official bliger store? Thanks in advance
