Down the rabbit hole we go...
Dope vid as always

@@kyle_munozbro he’s 16 💀

Jk Jesus loves you
kk
I’m so happy to see a young Man so passionate. It’s not a common trade these days.
I appreciate that!
You made the process seem so simple with no special tools. I’ve been hesitant to build but now I’ll go buy my cart on aliexpress
It’s so much fun!
how is going can u send pic in dm if u got it and can u give some tipp
^^^
@@kyle_munozyo i have a question this gummy that goes around watch and u put it in a blue like gel box and twisted it what is this and do i get it in your description do i even need that?
@@kyle_munoz does watch stop working after 2 weeks my friend said its cheap quality and he said i should spend 200 eu to get better quality stuff
Came across this randomly, the production quality is top notch man, like legit million dollar media businesses. Keep it up :D
I appreciate that so much! Thank you!!
COOL AF PROJECT!!!!!
this looks sick im making my girlfriend a watch for her birthday, thank you for the tutorial man
Glad I could help! She’s gonna love it!!
Hey! Awesome work!! You encouraged me to build my own watch🎉 But how did you adjust the strap of the watch?
Sweet!! There are links at the end of the strap that have little screws in them, i just unscrewed them and pulled them out
@ thought those links where taken out by pushing them. I saw another of your replies mentioning it. Thanks man! Now the watch looks flawless
@@markelapellanizotxoadereta1166 Awesome!!
do more of these!
In the works! 🫡
With how good the video was I really expected to see an account with at the very least tens of thousands of suscribers but seeing how good you are I'm sure you'll get there at some point. Great video and really interesting subject.
wow thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
The videos I expect the least end up being the ones I like the most jaja. Good stuff Kyle!
HAHA Thank you!!!
Do a chocolate dial Seiko mod with the jubilee strap. I’ve been wanting to do it so bad but I really want to see another person make it since it’s rare to see. Just subscribed. Loved the video keep it up!
Innnteresting! What color case would you do?
Really awesome, thought about doing something like this or taking apart different watches. Great video!
If you like to tinker, I HIGHLY recommend this. It’s so much fun!
13:45 Obviously an USAmerican, measuring in inches and using fractions. Just for future reference, the watch world is in metric.
good to know! 👍
Work on the crown stem first because you have to put it in and out of the case several times. Do the hands last as they are the most delicate.
will definitely keep in mind for next time
Is there a difference in things you need to order for a 39 vs 36mm?
The size of your case would affect the size of the face you order as well as the bracelet if you order a separate one. It normally says the size of both of those in the case listing. other than that, all the same 👍
Bro great vid/tutorial/production! You've gotten a new subscriber today!
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
Really interesting video even if I’m not that super into watches! Great filmmaking 👍
I appreciate it!
Its actually crazy that you were able to put the second hand on without using a magnification lense !
Further Tipp... you can but that rubicon thingy directly on the little sticks to set the hands.
It made my job on building my mod much much easier.
Great mod and vid.
dude yeah i was super surprised! and im DEFINITELY gonna do that on my next one, thanks for the tip!!
Great video, is the process for quartz movement the same.
As long as you find a case and face that matches the size of the quartz movement you choose, it should be exactly the same.
Did the case come with a gasket seal arrive
this one has a gasket seal on the back
Bro, You are the goat, yisus
no u are
Could you list the tools you purchased? Or tools needed?
Yes! I'll add them to the video description today
@ thank you. My young son wanted to do this as a project after your video so here we go.
@@theCranesUS That's frickin awesome!! Fair warning, the process can be frustrating, but I think it's well worth it for the experience and the final product! Have fun and let me know how it goes!!
Awesome video! Super dope watch!
Thank you bro!
Hey I just want to say I really enjoyed the video, keep it up and I am sure you will make it 🙏
🙏 I really appreciate that
Really nice build! Still wear it?
Thanks!! Hell yes I wear it as often as I can I love this thing
My friend said the nh35 stops working over night
he’s wrong
hey there! could you explain how to adjust that bracelet you used?
there should be screw heads on the side of each link that you can unscrew and take the pin out
@@kyle_munoz oh thanks!
🤙
quick question, so ive build my watch aswell and for the stem, do you have to always unscrew it to pull it out and change the time or is there anyway i can always have it screwed in then just pull to change time(like normal watches???????), i keep thinking i made a mistake on that part someone please let me knoww.
I always have to unscrew mine. That may be necessary to keep the case waterproof.
Thats what i though aswell, so i did not make a mistake on that part.. thank you!
you're good!
never knew tht dial was a rolex one ;) i build 8-10 watches, and 5 of them with that Naiton type case, they are the best sturdy quality for the price..
LOL rolex who?? I love the case so much. I can’t compare to others but from what i can tell it’s a fantastic quality case that will last forever
@@kyle_munoz yeah, i upgraded the bracelet lock with a multiadjustable one(sliding), and not with pins moving.. good 4 pound spend ;)
Yeah! adjusting this one was a bit of a pain in the butt. I’ll definitely be looking into some different straps for my next build
Where can i find the datejust black dail
If you search that exact thing on aliexpress I’m sure you’ll find it no problem
What size is that case?
36mm
Nice video. Keep up the Great work Kyle!
I appreciate you!
Bro just straight up copied Elliot Colls video
Sorry the process of putting together a watch is exactly the same every time 😂 I also used different hands and a different bracelet so…
@@kyle_munoz you don't have to do the same jokes, same reaction, same mood, same settings, same title, same same
@@20cent Damn you got me! I copied the title. Take me and the HUNDREDS of other youtubers who used a similar title right to jail lol. My reaction was genuine excitement for having made something I think is cool. Mood & Settings...? tf does that even mean?? If you don't like my videos click off and make your own.
Yeah but same parts and all man, where you using his as a guide as well 😂@kyle_munoz
Different bracelet, different hands…I referenced a bunch of people’s builds and build guides to figure out the best practices. Just because he has the most views doesn’t mean he’s the only one doing this or even the best one at it. All respect to him but nothing I did was intentionally copied and if you can’t see that, that’s not my fault. ✌️
i want the one with the logo it just completes the dial
understandable! It’s definitely a good look!
I really cant shorten the bracelet 😫
there should be screw heads on the side of each link that you can unscrew and take the pin out
I hope you put blue locktite on the crown and crown stem 🙏🏽
I didn’t in the video but i have since done so LOL thank you!
nice activity... though might be cheaper choose one of great homages... and dont call it Rolex
thanks!
Grabi ka OA
definitely
Next time dont copy paste from another video but rathercreate your own unique watch build.
lol thanks for the comment
You did not build a Rolex.
You can’t BUILD a Rolex, you have to BUY a Rolex. I’d rather build something than buy it, so I BUILT a Seikomod based on a Rolex.
@@kyle_munoz But your videos title says that you built a Rolex.
@FamilyBrown88 In quotes...it also says Seiko Mod
@kyle_munoz you 100% can build a rolex. Just buy the genuine parts......
LOLL, idk about all that. I appreciate the gas but those watchmakers are a whole different level of craftsmanship
