Steeldive for me.
Dude you completely misunderstood the purpose of this watch and how to wear it… I’m pretty sure that this watch since it’s a true divers watch is intended to be worn over the sleeve of a diving suit, and if it’s not used for diving you should still wear it over the sleeve of clothing you have on, it is for long sleeve clothing only that’s for sure.
@@nebulaM16 That makes sense 🤣🤣
Is this waterproof? And would it be possible to assemble one with atmospheric sealing variations such as 10, 20, 30, etc.
@@HigorMatheus99 Yes, this case is waterproof. Tested for 5ATM
@@HigorMatheus99 What do you mean by sealing variations? Didn't get your question
Good advice about the crystal press tool -turning the case in increments so the glass is seated properly.
@@FrankieMinge yes, it works perfectly with the cheapest crystal press
I like looking back at these "old" vids. Two things leap out at me. I'd change the bezel insert, I dont like two tone lume (mismatched as Jody once said from a land down under) and a 62MAS dial? Now I'm going to watch the vid where maybe I'll find an explanation 😉
what settings do you use for your engravings?
@@Michael-xx4ik do you have the same laser as me?
@@ShortBetter nvm we dont 😅but do you have a link for where you buy the lume from?
@Michael-xx4ik I buy it from a local store in Thailand
20bar on a 30bar watch. :(
I have the blue dial of this watch. Wanted to buy a second watch for this model and wondering if i should get black dial like the one in this video or the Le Mans version. 🤔
Mine is 2 seconds fast a week. The second hand doesn’t consistently align with the indices. Not sure if that’s due to the movement or placement of the dial. Thanks
@@BobbieGWhiz I think mine also wasn't aligned with the indices
Hello, very nice build. While watching the video i got curious how good are the leather straps from aliexpress? if you have experience with it.
@kalicha6176 The one that comes with this case is 5/10, it's pretty cheap. But there are some very good straps for 20-30usd
@@ShortBetter Those good straps are on aliexpress or other websites?
@kalicha6176 here is one example. Got it recently and it's surprisingly very good s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_opfZ6JR
Your creations deserve custom rotors rather than the default one!
@@LostInTheShell agree, I should be adding those
Great video. What lens size are you using here?
@@lab9337 thanks! 110mm
The movement in the P.G. is probably more reliable. My Sugess movement is defective. It keeps stopping. 2 Sugess with a Peacock movement that has failed. Won't buy another one! Good video anyways.
Addiesdive loves to take your money, send you something you DID NOT ORDER, then tries to make YOU pay to correct THEIR mistake. I'll not be buying from them anymore. I will also be giving people a fair warning about how they treat customers.
@@etyrnal I would love to get watches I didn't order🤩🤩
@ShortBetter and you'd be so happy that the watch that you did order. are we on candid camera? is this one of those scenarios where you just say anything because it sounds good
@etyrnal I don't really understand you, sorry
Nice review 👍
@@floatafecruises6644 thanks😊
Acabo de comprar uno 😅
It looks these are the cheaper clasps on these bracelets.
You used just regular Superglue to paste the dial to movement?
Dial dots
@ShortBetter Yes, you used dial dots, but you also added just regular Superglue to strengthen bond?
@ericbouza854 yes, in some cases for the perfect window alignment it's needed
Wish they made the rose gold yachtmaster version, got tge pagani one. Such a comfortable design.
Hello 👋🏻 what’s your laser machine? 😮
WOW that’s beautiful
Watch looks very beautiful, is there a specific name for these watch hands?
@@prathamprakash03 there must be, but I don't know😅😅 And I left the links anyway, can just order them
No se donde aprendiste a montar mods, pero no lo estas haciendo bien... Nunca se monta el bisel, antes de estar el reloj ensamblado, ya que, se puede dar la situación, que despues quede el chapter ring torcido, respecto del dial y del mismo bisel. Rectifica y aprende un poco. I don't know where you learned to assemble mods, but you are not doing it right... The bezel is never mounted before the watch is assembled, since the situation can arise that later the chapter ring will be crooked, with respect to the dial. and the same bezel. Correct and learn a little.
@Tracer900RTR chapter ring crooked? Interesting, this has never happened in the last 3 years🤣
Thanks for this information, Alex. Lug to lug size will fit my 7.2 inch wrist nicely. I ordered the watch from AE. Best wishes, Richard
I would love to see a tutorial on the laser side of this build. Is that coming?
stunning dails i think they are awesome
@@ElderPinto254 thank you😊
Those look phenomenal - excellent work! You can cut yourself jigs, stencils, and stamps (using the date window for registration) to make painting & applying lume easier. Like a PCB solder mask, almost.
Thank you! :)
can these be purchased?
@jsimm435 Yes, I can also make your own design. Or we design it together. Mod4thai.com
Great job! Dials are looking beautiful! May I ask, what kind of laser machine do you use?
@@Teri-Workshop thanks! I have Mopa M7 50w
@@ShortBetter Thanks!
That watch is amazing, love the color combo!
@@RichardThompsonCA thank you😊
Those are all fantastic! Great work!
@cavsoldier1988 thanks!😊😊
What machine did u use to create/engrave custom dials?
@trext888 fiber laser 60w
Awesome. Congrats on these beautiful dials
@@BernhardSchieber thank you😊
This is incredible. Well done! What kind of coating do you put on the bee at the last step of the video?
@jamesgates678 thanks! Just a clear glossy acrylic
❤️your work🔥 Subscribed 🦘⚓️🍍🐐
Thank you☺☺
Какая толщина заготовки?
@@grayraven3185 0.5mm, finished dial is about 0.45mm
Should use clear primer for brass before applying acrylic paints. That's why the paint chips away so easily from the dial rim.
@PpaStrmpf the surface of the material after lasering has a perfect texture for paint, I realised there is no need for primer. The paint gets scratched on the edge of the dial because of wrong moves while polishing
@@ShortBetter Maybe use enamels or Lacquers. They are more robust and more durable than acrylics. Great work though!
@yohkodevilhunter8292 I tried only acrylics so far. It worked well first time, and I just keep using it😅 There might be some better alternatives though, but for now, it works just great
Just realized that I ordered a V3 and received a V2 and I can’t return it hehe. Bummer but can live with it I guess 😅
Maybe use some oilers to do the lume.
I have the actual Omega version of this watch, and I can attest to the fact that even with anti-glare, the glare is the same. The reason that it still glares is because of the curved sapphire crystal. If the crystal was flat, then it would not glare.
@@Ericdagreat thanks for sharing! So that's the reason..
I want one. I particularly liked the bee. I had a look at your website. Did you do the work on the hands as well?
@notfound-zu3ft Yes, I make custom hands as well, but not as many
A true masterpiece from a true mastercraftman 🙏
Outstanding work Sir ! Truly a man who loves his craft. I can't wait to see it in person 😊
@@BenChiam thank you😊
Which laser device do you use?
@MrFFP-wc3ev I use Mopa M7 60w
@@ShortBetter I have an Xtool S1 40W. I thought mine was expensive. Yours is a fiber laser and around $7k I think? Wow.
@johnnyc.5979 mine was around 5k that time. Don't know how much it is now
Your work is impressive. I have a question: where can I get indices with Super-LumiNova or something of that quality?
@@JOMP33 thanks! You can find them on Aliexpress. Or simple order the dial with the indices you want and reuse them
I have had this exact Cadison since 11/11/25 sale and it’s a gem of a banger. Excellent fit, finish and time keeping. Excellent movement. Can’t go wrong when you can buy it right @ $100 less than seestern🍻 cheers
Where can i get this Dial, the Watch i have ?!
How do I distinguish the different times in the countries of the world with this watch?
Very nice way to start of the year, what kind of magnification do you use? i could not find find a good one myself
@@kalicha6176 thanks! I don't use any😉
@@ShortBetter What a suprise, you set hands very well, amazing work
Have a fiber on other seconds hand .. nice build
