Beautiful build my friend! I am planning to do some of these soon and this was very helpful. Cheers!
Nice one mate👌
Great work, very inspiring! I started moding from your videos! Could you put the link of the other video that you release the crown and do you have any tip in the case the minute and hours hand are missalinged is there a quick fix or all tha hands need to come off?
Thank you for watching my videos 😊
Yes, unfortunately, you will have to remove all 3 hands to align them properly again. But it's a good thing! More practice makes it easier next time😁😁
The dial at the 3 o'clock is supposed to be a 24hr, but you can't set it independently so it's really only telling you am/pm and that's only if you align it with the midnight setting. Hence it's useless as a gmt. That would be my biggest knock against this movement - built for looks over function.
It can still function as a static GMT if you set that X amount of hours ahead of the main hour hand when building the watch, you'll never be able to change it without opening it up and re-setting that hand manually but it can be used as a functional 2nd timezone
That second hand timing would drive me insane
Nice color way
Thanks!
Where did you get that dial, it looks amazing!
I got it on the local website, but there are plenty on Aliexpress as well. Just search "VK63 dial"
Did you short-circuit the movement when you inserted the battery or just insert battery and move on?
I just inserted the battery and it was good to go
hi! noob question. i bought a pagani with a vk63 and the seconds hand (chono hand) is a hair to the left. do i need to take the hand off and reattach it or can i push it a little without taking it off? will it affect the other hands if i do? thanks
This chrono hand is a headache in my experience... 1st, it can be worn out if you remove it and try to put it back. I would suggest you get another set of hands just in case. Just pushing the hand won't do, you have to remove it. If you have some kind of curved tweezers, then maybe you will manage to remove only seconds hand, but if no then you need to remove them all🥲
@@ShortBetter thanks for replying! i think i'll take it to a matchmaker and hope he doesnt charge me half of what i paid for the watch. 😄
@@jimron9008 they usually afraid to touch Chinese watches🤣 Let me know what they say
@@ShortBetter ok 😬
Nice FEIKO™ you got yourself there
Thank you :) That one for the order
I just completed my firstbuild, but it seems like after a few moments the second hand stops running, any suggestions?
Do you mean the chronograph seconds hand? I guess the tip could touch the glass. Check it from the side to see the alignment with other hands👍😉
What tweezers are those for putting on hands. I like those.
Found it in my wife's bag🤣🤣🤣 It's pretty good, but now I switched to a classic tweezers with plastic tips. Seems to be better for working with hands
@@ShortBetter great video.
@@DanCastle518 thank you😊
I picked up a pagani black case with yellow chronograph hand and two sub dials with yellow hands, this pagani has sorta like a skeletontinized dial, showing the quartz movement which kinda weird , a have a dial which I’m swapping , sorta like the green dial, the one I have is black like a speedmaster,

How did you remove the crow? My is locked inside the movement and I don't know how to remove it
I showed in my another video with VK63. There is a small point you have to press, similar to nh35
@@ShortBetter I'm trying to put out the crown but I can't find the release point. I'm using a spring bar because I don't have nothing smaller
@@alessandros.4659 I'm afraid spring bar is too thick
does it lack a chapter ring?
Not needed one
So you dont need to press the small hands?
Need to, installation process is the same as other hands
@@ShortBetter Thx!
Do you use the same hand setting tool for the small hands as the seconds hand or is it a different size? I only have ones for GMT, hour, and seconds.
@@vaughnwalker7801 I used something random with the flat end🤣 But I believe the tool for the seconds hand will work just find. Those small hands don't require precise alignment as other hands
@@ShortBetter thanks! Just got all the pieces in for this build and this video is a perfect instruction!
Great news! Now you can order my mods directly from my website :) Thank you all for support!! - Mod4thai.com
how do i do ac reset after placing a battery?
I didn't do and it was working fine
I just set up my 24 hour as a second time zone. Is it true that the large sweep chrono seconds is compatible with an nh35??
Do you mean the size? I've never heard of it. The only way is to try :D
I know you had to edit this video trying to place that seconds hand on.😂 the most pain in the ass I have ever run into. You can also use wto tiny pieces of rodico to hold the hand centered, and press
Placing it wasn't a problem, but aligning...😬😬😬 Sometimes it just changes the position after I press it. Real headache!
@@ShortBetter I meant alignment. Just when you think that it is aligned, you have to pop the hand back off to try aligning it. The problem comes when you try at least 4 times of mounting and removing the hand, that the hand barrel wears out, and the seconds hand will fly off into the dial when resetting the chrono.
How long did you cut the crown? 2mm?
Sorry, I didn't get your question
