Have you seen dials that can be printed on? I like to experiment with mod kits.
I havn't, are they a ready made dial can be printed directly on>?
@@WatchWorkbench Not sure, I’ll check around.
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you!
I’m hoping to get the build videos up this week!
Lume on dial, lume on hands... Why not lume on body? There are plenty of glow in the dark 3D printing filaments. Become grossly luminescent.
That build in coming soon 😉
I happened across this video and channel and now I'm interested in 3D printing my own watch, thanks!
I was working on them again this weekend! I'll have more videos up very soon!
Nice one! For a wedding a couplke weeks ago I designed my own 3D printed watch. My approach was slightly different: I bought a cheap watch, took the movement, arms and glass and designed a new case around it, incluiding 3D printed dial and wristband with integrated clasp. Just go to your nearby dollar store, get a watch with the same crystal size and off you go. I think this makes it easier accessible for anybody. I contempleted on making a video of it but I don't think I will so if you are interested in the files I could share them (openly)?
That's awesome! Yes, I'd definitely be interested in those files!
@@WatchWorkbench I have sent you an email. Because of the STL files it might be in your spam folder. Let's keep in contact! Robbert
Thank you Kurt! Great to meet on zoom and looking forward to seeing this fully lumed build!
Thank you sir! Been working on the quartz ones this weekend!
That sounds super cool
Thanks! I've been playing around putting together a quartz one this weekend!
Like idea of total lume on the watch.
Good job!
Great video man, keep up the great work 👍🏼
Glad got your money back.
I just bought a watch on Ali Express. The watch was stolen by the delivery person they use - on video. Ali Ex said too bad - no refund
The sapphire vs acrylic difference stated by you is spot on. Thank you 👍
You've failed to mention the discount codes that Aliexpress and individual stores provide during sales.
Have had pin and collar and none of those tools would shift it on multiple links , ended up putting a leather strap on and yes I’ve adjusted dozens of bracelets without a problem . Maybe just the one I had had an issue with.
I bought a new model San Marttin about 3 weeks ago with a discount at the time. It was substantially cheaper a few days ago when I checked.
In my experience, no. I t has not stopped my buying a Pegani Design watch but it is no cheaper than it was less than 2 weeks ago.
Oh wow, more links 😂
Fancy seeing you here…. I’ll just let the other thread you started take care of things…. lol.
Hello! I like your channel. It's different and neat. I subscribed and put likes since the beginning. I tried to install that alitool on my maccrook pro. It would be cool if you mention how step by step in the section of the watches you've suggested below your post. I loved my Tactical frog FXD with 6 o'clock date and my Sugess Gustav Becker watches that I bought last 11.11 sale. Keep up the excellent work. Greetings from a froggie in Montréal. It's always a pleasure to follow you. Some of my watch enthusiast patients are watching your shows after I told them to do so.
Did you have trouble installing it? I’ve got it I installed on my MacBook on chrome and it’s been working fine.
@@WatchWorkbench Thanks for your help ! I got it. Have a Great day.
@@WatchWorkbench It's installed now. Thanks!

Creative way to throw affiliate links out there 😂
and? This is the second time you've commented about this in the comment section here. Between your main page and secondary page you've posted 27 affiliate link in the last week.....
@@ILikeWatches2yeah man, you're always borderline begging people to use your affiliate links in videos where you're reviewing watches you got for free. So sit back and take a seat.
@@WatchWorkbenchany coupon codes you know of?
@@ILikeWatches2 funny coming from one of the biggest shills in the youtube watch world. Every one of your videos is you sack riding Aliexpress or some other affiliate trying to make a buck and cramming as many affiliate links in as you can. Why don't you stick to your BS posts about sticking magnets to your arms......
If you're buying in non US dollars they screw you over on exchange rate too or they do in Canada.
This event is really good if you have lots of AE coins. High coin discount rates can save substantial real money.
That's true, but I had under $75 in coins. Gotta keep them tallied up, though. Check in daily. Go thru EARN EXTRA COINS. Play 1 game of Match (30 coins). Split up purchases (20 coins a buy). Read every AX message (5 coins). Every delivery gets you 5 coins. Do a review with pics. 20 coins. It all adds up. I was seeing 75% off sale price deals with coins! It's worth it.
👍
It also varies by seller - many sellers carry the same watch but with different pricing.
I've noticed that as well.
Love this tool and video. Information is what we need!
Thank for the feedback. Very helpful for me because I’m a new watch collector. Have not dived into the watches from Aliexpress yet. Concerned about quality control on watches coming out of china. Just saw someone post a dive watch on Reddit, where water got inside the dial.
I think I saw the same post, it was a chronograph correct?
@@WatchWorkbench Not sure, but think it was a Pagani.
Yep, I saw that one as well.
Very useful video. Gotta stay savvy! Yesterday, including coins & coupons I picked up the ADDIESDIVE Orange military on a zulu strap for £3.14 inc tax delivered! I could've got their excellent quartz GMT for £17 all in, but I already had one! Paid £40. Oh well. There are DEALS there, if you're careful. Big thanks.
3.14 is a steal!
I’ve had a watch in my wish list for a couple months and check in on the price regularly. The price actually went up for the sale! I wonder if this is because their margins are tight and they have to factor in the sale coupons and coin discounts?
Typical from over there. Got to be ‘savvy’ buyer to get the real deal. Snagged a very nice Addiesdive HY3 sub for $25 sale price Friday night free ship. It’s on way already. Noticed a few I was looking at over weekend going up 🍻 cheers
Really good information. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
I've had mine for about 3 years and it's just started to gain a bit more time (about +15 s/d from its initial + 5s/d). Not enough to worry about but, even if it was, I can't work out how to get the caseback off. Would appreciate any advice you might have to offer. Excellent video. Subscribed. Cheers 🍻!
I just grabbed mine, I got the back to unscrew with a rubber case back ball.
@@WatchWorkbench Thanks very much!
The most American video ever😅
My 1st 1963 was defective. My replacement with the sapphire sandwich and the swan’s neck regulator still runs fine. It is an infrequent wear as it is delicate. Mine is exact same as yours. Fine vid. Thanks
TBH, I expected a more thorough testing than just one measurement in one position on the timegrapher. Suggestion: Measure in different positions, with chronograph both stopped and running, and day-to-day worn accuracy, again with chronograph stopped and running for a given amount (let's say, the full 30 minutes).
The problem is the movement is unserviceable. The ring is called a bezel lol.
A new 1901 is cheaper than a service anyway…
You know why there is a big chrome ring around it (known as bezel) |? Because this is 38mm. Check 40mm version. It`s much much better regarding the propotions. Acrylic get scraches even if you look at it.
I’ve checked the 40mm, not a fan of the lug to lug on those as I have smaller wrists.
I got very lucky with mine it’s only 1-2 seconds per day slow which is incredible. I think tuning it might actually be worth it if it’s 10 seconds fast.
that is a "homage" watch
Did you even watch the video?
That’s literally what I explain in this video….
Super Uhr zum günstigen Preis !
I had mine service last year for about $150. Many would say it wasn’t worth it but right now I can get 3 times what I paid for it. And given the popularity, I assume it will continue to appreciate.
I’d say it’s worth it 👍
Acquired one earlier this year. A basic 40mm, sapphire crystal and NO gooseneck. Changed out the strap for a light blue suede strap to match the hands. Which changes the look completely Keep the great videos coming
That was more satisfying than I expected 🤣
Can you test the seagull 1963?
Belle montre et horrible logo
Nice work. I’m not a fan of people modding these beyond a movement swap: replacing the 7s26 with a 4R16 / NH36 daydate with hack and hand wind. I modded a 38mm 5KX by transplanting the movement, dial, and hands into a SKX013 dive case, thereby gaining a screw down crown, 200m of WR, and a SKX013 bezel insert with lume pip. Came out great. I essentially transformed a Seiko diver-style watch into a true diver.
I'd like to hear your thoughts about Wise brand of watches as I'm thinking of buying one or two. Thanks!
I've seen them and heard good things, but I don't have any hands on experience with them unfortunately.
Give us some details on that rifle :)
It's a .22 PCP airgun shooting slugs. To keep the neighbors happy it's got a baffle stack inside the shroud and a thread on suppressor.
The Chinese economy is in free-fall and AliExpress is doing a good job vetting ,and promoting the dependability of the products along with the E-Commerce site’s credibility . Working hard to promote a quality purchase experience for Customers all around the World .
I bought an obvious fake watch on wish, complained and got my money back. Took the money and bought another fake watch, complained and got my money back.Took the money and bought another fake watch....................10 watches later I had a message from wish saying that I was "abusing " their returns system and I would be blocked🤣. I gave the watches to a young boy who now has a toy collection of some famous watches😁.
Lol.... you got some kid stoked on watches for free! Sounds like it's time to make a second Wish account to me.
@@WatchWorkbench Ah! you spotted my stratagem padawan, you will go far😁
Lmao no one is buying your story about accidentally buying fake watches. Clearly you bought them just for the content. 🤥 no one is dumb enough to think they are getting a real orient for $20 man.
they advertise them as real, i saw citizens at around 70-80$ that looked real and i really hesitated on getting one if i didn't see they also had listings for ones at 20-30 and that non chinese brands on aliexpress are almost always fake and i've seen a lot of people fall for the cheap 1963 in the chinesewatches subreddit
lol…. See the comment below yours. You think I spent $$, 5 months ago for a channel I started a month ago? lol.😂
Yup…. The whole “too good to be true deal”….
@@Ted_Kenzokuright.. but you have to be a complete fool if you think you’re getting a “real” orient, citizen, seiko…. Off of AliExpress. Anyone slightly educated in watches, let alone buying from any store that is known for knock offs… knows what to look for. It’s easy to figure out what’s real and what’s not. If the OP couldn’t tell, then he probably shouldn’t be reviewing watches. Don’t lie just to create subpar content
Meeh, I could screen grab the receipts showing what’s was shown on the original ad in the commuinity section, but it's frankly not worth it to me to prove something to some random.... but thank you for your service.
