    Removing the date wheel was so nerve racking lol. Lost 2 of the screws in the process but managed to make it work with just two. Thanks for the video

      Haha atleast you were still able to make it work with just 2 screws😅

    Mate, it’s highly kind of you to provide the link to all of your parts and also the build techniques. Because of you, I have successfully built about a dozen watches now using the NH 35 movements.

    sweet video, BTW, where did you get that thin movement holder ? All of the NH holders I have won't fit the bases for my hand press tool like yours. Thanks in advance

    Do you regulate your watches that you sell at all, or is it sort of “what the factory sends out is what you get” type of deal?

    cool watch, can the bracelet accomodate tiny wrists say like 6"-6.25"?

      Cheers! Yeah, if you remove all the links and adjust the clasp it should work fine!

    Awesome build. I’ve made a handful of a very similar design for some friends that I work with.
    Question on the NH35 date wheel removal. If I’m building a no date watch, I typically go with an NH38 (as you said in the video). When you remove the date wheel and white gear as you showed, does it remove the first click when pulling out the crown? Or is there still a “ghost” position?
    I really enjoy your builds. Great editing. Solid voice over. All around good stuff.

    • @jbwatchmods
      @jbwatchmods  5 днів тому +2

      Thanks mate, really appreciate it! Once you remove the date wheel and gear there is no clicking or ghost position where there normally would be when changing the date :)

    • @fsobo
      @fsobo 4 дні тому +2

      I’m new to watchmaking but when you pull out the crown, the positions are controlled by the setting lever. So in my mind when you pull out the crown you would still have two positions to get to the time setting mode. By just removing the date wheel doesn’t eliminate the middle position which would be the date setting position. So there will still be three positions when pulling out the crown, the winding position, the date setting position, and the time setting position. Unless I am totally wrong…😮
      Otherwise, nice build and nice watch.

      @@fsobothat was kind of my thought as well… I’m not nearly as familiar with the inner workings, but I’m curious if the removal of the little while gear somehow impacts the date setting vs time setting position.
      Either way. I’m going to give it a go and see what happens.

      ​@@TonyGenerali did u find out if there was a ghost position
      (as the original commenter mentioned i thought to remove the ghost position an nh38 jumper would need to be swapped in?)
      (similar to the eta 2824 using the 2801 jumper to solve the same problem)

    How do you know if you cut the stem too short or too long? This is my second mod and both seem to be cut right (crown seats well into the case, and moves without issue) but the second had will stop moving, the. I tap the crystal and it starts moving again. I’ve read that the second hand might be touching the inside of the crystal and to shave down the inner ring of the caseback. Any advice?

    • @jbwatchmods
      @jbwatchmods  День тому +1

      If the crown stem is too long the crown wont screw all the way down to the case, if its too short you wont be able to properly engage each position with the crown. Sounds like your second hand may be bent to high up and touching the crystal. No need to shave anything down as that will make the movement loose in the case, just bend the second hand down a little and test

    If the case specifies it fits the NH36 & NH35, can you always just use the NH38? Are they the same size?

    A really impressive build it looks great, I've just finished my third build a Flieger and I'm already looking forward to the fourth, I'd love to see you build a day/date something like the Hamilton H64455523
