    Hey bro, just wanna say that I really enjoyed this video! The watch looks great, I’d call it “washed denim” as the dial reminds me of my favourite denim jacket that has faded over the years. Appreciate you bro, thanks for the cool vid!

    With the seconds hand, I recommend getting right down to eye level with the movement so you can see the pinion. It helps me tremendously when installing the seconds hand.

    • @GodTierWatches22
      @GodTierWatches22  Місяць тому +1

      yeah after I had to reinstall the hands I had a much better time and just used rotico and the hand press tool and worked like a charm!

      Great watch great build! I recently built my first watch (Yatch Master 2 Homage) it took me around 3 hours as well and the same issue with the second hand took the longest to do. The amount of words that flew around the room and minor rage quits I got it on.
      One thing I will say that I wasnt aware of the NH35 has a little cap to protect the second hands stem that needs to be removed, I didn't realise until something small fell off and when I tried to set it again it went straight on. I hope that helps someone here.

    • @TheIMobile
      @TheIMobile Місяць тому +2

      A good tip I was shown is when you’re ready to install the second hand press the crown in and get it running. I use rodico to hold the hand some use tweezers rest it on the pinion if the hand moves around you know you got it on then use the hand press to fit it

  • @SirZechs77

    I recently also completed my very first watch build.
    If you're planning to do more of those I recommend a movement holder to keep any unnecessary pressure off of the movement when pressing in the hands.
    If you have access to a 3d printer it's pretty easy to print one of those.

    Nice work, nice vid. I’ve done several so I’d like to add a couple pointers, but first, don’t feel bad, the seconds hand is the hardest by far! 1) Make sure all the hands are parallel to the dial and each other. (2) This method will not make a watch that is actually water tight do be careful (if you don’t believe me but it in a glass of water for a while and see, realize there’s no pressure there). (3) Change your rodico often, it gets dirty/greasy and can make a mess. (4) Clean, clean, clean, the dial and inside the crystal often and clean them again before you close it up. It’s very frustrating when you’ve spent hours on a build and close it up only to find the one crappy piece of lint on the face or underside of the crystal. 😊

    I love the idea building an homage watch but i give off the wrong feeling when you put a counterfeit dial with a brand on it. Especially one as coveted as GS. It kinda of seems like wearing an expensive watch just so people will think you are cool. Again, I love homage builds, but this seems more like trying to get something cheap and passing it off as expensive.

    Looks cheap, especially the fluted bezel. When it is too shiny, it doesn't look luxurious at all. I get it why people to this. They don't have the money to buy the real thing and the joy and pride that it brings in building their own watch, but at the end of the day, it is a fake and you're just kidding yourself and others! Believe me you'll get a lot more satisfaction and pride wearing the real deal by buying a 250$ Seiko watch even in quartz, with a shitty bracelet and hardlex crystal but at least you know it is a real not a fake! Cheating will end up screwing your mind.

I wouldn't ever buy an outright fake because that doesn't allign with me, by building it adds a memory and value to me and I just don't treat it the same as a fake :) wear what you want at the end of the day man, your opinion is your opinion

I own "total super legit expensive watches" and lookalikes that I've built. All of it is fun. Anyone that knows anything isn't gonna think that your ali watch is an actual GS. Or a Rolex. Or a Tissot. Wear what you like, if you can't afford what you like, build it. Will it measure up to the real thing? Who knows. But I can guarantee that half the people who get buttmad about this sort of thing have a print of a famous artpiece in their home.
