    This young man is seriously talented. You can read books and learn how to do mods & repairs, but some people just have a natural appitude and creativity for this type of thing. That's not something you can get from books.
    Talented individual.

      Are these Dive Watches pressure tested after you modify them? That is very important for scuba divers. You watches look great and am interested in procuring one but I am a hard core diver. The watches must maintain the pressure ratings or they become cool watches for "Desk Divers"!

    • @LumeShot
      @LumeShot  5 років тому +20

      No one really wants to share any specifics since the more people that know their supplier, the less likely they're able to get the parts themselves. But, helping people know the general gist of things doesn't hurt anyone!

      I have been working for 40 years now, in the electro-technical industry and probably worked with thousands of people up over the years, and of course, experienced both people keeping all they know by themselves, and also had colleges sharing all they know, and I can tell you that sharing all your knowledge is the way to go in the long term, those people usually get promoted and are doing well, those keeping information by themselves can often be 'key' personnel for some time but they usually are 'punished' by being kind of isolated, remember one important thing, most people are grateful for information and give information back again, so those people sharing have usually a lot of knowledge, also, another important thing to notice, people sharing what they know also usually are considered to be 'intelligent' and an valuable resource in an organization, so, my advice to young men are, do not be afraid to share your knowledge, (and of course, you do not need to tell absolutely everything) just saying

    Eric, damn dude! Just yesterday I happened upon your UA-cam channel and found it and your OCD work ethics to be my number one reason for having my interests tuned to watch modding, Seiko timepieces in particular. These are watches are known for the exceptional and reliable workmanship. Seiko should appreciate your endeavors and are for the most part its brand ambassador. All your watches displayed in your IG page is awesome... You apparently have taken this interest to a whole new level with your wholly informed tutorials and advise.. I'm looking to get my first watchmakers/modders tool kit...
    You've inspired me to take up this hobby and do something you appreciate doing and over the course turn it into a business venture as well as a highly useful educational resource for others too. Kudos to you my friend!

The idea of trying to use a retail store owner is something I have already started to do. Hopefully it works out. I can't wait to see what the OEM prices actually are as compared to what I see people asking online.

I like the watch, but I have presbyopia (bad near vision), and can't see the narrow silver hands against the white dial. I can replace the hands if I can find some appropriate black hands, or I can paint the existing hands black. What do you suggest? And can you help me find new hands or point me to painting instructions? Thanks
