    Nice build, coincidentally a few days ago I finished a rose gold 36mm case build with white dial, faux diamond indices, rose gold hands and white leather strap with rose gold buckle for my mothers upcoming birthday.

      Nice! I bet it looks great on the white strap!

    where do you find the dial that says seiko i have seen them in aliexpress but not with the seiko letters

    • @mtaahahabib9844
      @mtaahahabib9844 3 місяці тому +1

      they come shipped with the seiko letters.. they remove them in the product pictures because of copyright issues or smth.. you can always ask the seller about it

      I don't think you will find a 33mm royal oak case. Aliexpress is your friend

    So when you purchased from Ali, it said seiko on it?

    Does the gold lose colour ?

    • @jbwatchmods
      @jbwatchmods  4 місяці тому

      The plating is actually fairly decent. But like anything, it will loose colour with heavy use. Parts are cheap enough to replace if need be though

    Hello, for the dials there are no logos on the links in the description. possible to put the exact link of the dial at 7:28 please?

    • @jbwatchmods
      @jbwatchmods  7 місяців тому

      Aliexpress isn't allowed to show the logos in their listing photos. You need to make sure it says "s logo" in the description.
      The dial at 7:28 was old stock I have, im not sure if its still available for purchase

    In many watch videos I see people struggle putting the hands on while trying to reach down to do it. Have always thought put it up higher, your portable table fits the bill. Nice watch build.

    I want to do the same for my girlfriend but not sure what movement and case to get for her, she's quite petite so a big watch would look silly
