This is filmed so well, not a lot of cuts, tons of explaining. Thanks!!
It's so cool to see the watch maker beeing an watch enthusiast for SEIKO like that. That giggle when he got the bezel on is just priceless☺️❤️ Und du kannst sie jeden Tag tragen! Ein richtiger Daily Beater ist das!
Haha you judged very well. I collect only seiko watches too
@@customseikowatches1911 So awesome!!! Isn't the world a tiny little place? Ha,ha!!!
I always keep my Seiko's in honour. I don't know what it is but I just love my Seiko's that I have. They give me so much confidence, when I wear them. Maybe it's because, we as watch enthusiasts feel the heritage and legacy and can appreciate that much more then an average person🤷🏻♂️
Das ist etwas besonderes!!!
That domed sapphire and the way it flows with the bezel... AMAZING! Now I need one in all black with a ceramic bezel
He turned a Seiko into a Seiko.
That’s my sentiments exactly.
with some Seiko mods...
I was thinking that, Mercedes hands and a green ceramic insert do not make a Rolex lol
It's not my thing either but he never said it was anything other than a Seiko...
@@theaussiewhinger It's the title of the video, Modding Seiko into Rolex.
The end result was superb. Great job!!
Aaargh.. Autsj.. There is a dial stuck under that crystal press when pressing the crystal. A bit roughly build, but a nice watch. Enjoy it.
At first i thought hes gonna ruin the watch, but the end result is amazing😍
Yes it looks fantastic, much better than the original Seiko 5 :)
You underestimate me 😂
@@customseikowatches1911 stfu
13:10... that’s the sound that makes every watch lover die.
😂😂
Haha it made me 😫😖
i cringed during the entire video.
That was so much fun Niko! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I like that you can get something different by doing this. Not pretending to be a Rolex. Clearly still showing the movement and where it's come from but just making it look like a Rolex. I think this is a really cool idea. I know nothing about watches so wouldn't have a clue about your processes but I really like the Kermit and the Pepsi. Two of my favourite Rolex's, I might have to reach out to you. :)
I did enjoy your watch Mod video, simply shown and explained perfectly!
Thank you
My two favourite parts are when you stick a screwdriver into the movement to get it out of the case and when you jam a steel case back opener under the bezel to prise it off with no protection for the case.
We learn by teaching, or sarcasm...lol
The glass trick though
You mean when he gently lifts the movement with a tool that works great for the job and when he doesn't damage the watch and removes the bezel?
@@davidmcguire6043 no, maybe you’re thinking of a different video.
"Gets the job done!", this IS Dubai, not Switzerland, after all.
You have hands of a man who has worked. I respect that.
He's the roughest watch maker I have seen so far in my life. I wouldn't let him touch any vintage watches...
I wouldn't let him touch ANY watch
dude your a hater so just shut up! do u think you can do better...I don't think so loser face!
@@licha5050 I actually can do better and yes, OP is right
@@ashen99 come on I work on my own watches and it's not easy. now I mean no disrespect to you. but it's a lot of fun to work on them. but don't poke fun at the guy
@@licha5050 the dial was stuck under the crystal press Bruh
Beautiful final result! That Seiko Kermit looks 10x better than the normal 5!
Great work! Thanks for sharing. Learned a lot here.
The watch looks awesome, congratulations!
Great job loved it.
Hi Niko!
It’s an interesting result. I felt a little sorry for the blue dial that was under the press... 😉
Best regards,
Claus
Thanks Claus. Ups I just noticed that ;)
😂savage!! You remind me my dentist
I have an SKX031J I’m wanting to modify. I’m also considering building my own SKX models for fun. How interesting!
the watch looks awesome!
Watching the dial get dragged around by the crystal press the whole time :(
This usually doesn't happen. This was my first time building on camera so in trying to ensure camera sees my steps, I neglected the blue dial. Anyways it was not being used in this watch so it's OK, I threw it away :)
@@customseikowatches1911 Not an excuse, why throw the stock dial away?
@@palmeadia because I don't need it. I have too many available
@@customseikowatches1911 Bad practice is bad practice, it was ugly to see. Your further excuse is the perfect depiction of what's wrong with humans and the consequential effect on the planet.
@@palmeadia OK buddy. Looks like you are in a modding business yourself. Focus on that
Good job on this mod. Well done.
Superb work and a fascinating insight!
Great mod, subbed to the channel
Looks great!
Love it!
Perfectly done. Loved the end result.
Love it man !!
This was so cool !!! You have motivated me now! 😁😁😁
Looks fantastic!
Beautiful work. I would wear that.
Hi. For the case back ring, what lubricant did you use? I need to buy some for my own mods. Cheers! Great video by the way.
Excellent 😍👏
I Love it and I want it !!!
🤤❣️
Looks really nice...
Great Job !!!👌🏻
Amazing mod congratulations 👏
Where did you buy this wonderful watch strap ?? I've bought 3 at 3 different places and I didn't find at least one good 😭😭.
Any advice please 🙏🙏??
Beautiful work amazing
I have an skx I built like that on a bond and it gets more compliments than my actual submariner
That was really grate job ! Thank you for sowing.
Looks awesome! Where did you get the Bracelette? I love its tapering
FANTASTIC
I was holing my breath , wonderful display of watchmaking skills and expertise beyond description of words . Well done .
Great video !!
Enjoyed the video and seeing your craft!
Love this !
How can we purchase one?
@@thewatchguyinc.7429 head over to CustomSeikoWatches on Instagram and DM
wats the green stuff called you used to pick the hands with ??
Very impressive !!!!!!
Is the rubber included or do you need to buy it seperate?
A jubilee strap, exhibition style back with additional sapphire crystal would be most beautiful accompaniments to your excellent work sir👍💯🎉✔️
It would be nice at the end of video inform everyone the total cost of the mod. I believe most audiences would be curious to know.
1 dollar.
At least 3
@@vladonebotos Thanks for posting the link. I've just checked out some of the modded pieces and, I have to say, the prices are quite modest.
If you have to ask,,, you can't afford it . :);
@@DANTHETUBEMAN ok
Nicely Modified.
Ok now I’m somehow attracted to the original rolex cermit, which I wasn’t until now! 🤔
haha me too!!! Even more attracted to it.
KERMIT FFS
@@smaster1994 CERMUTT
Can you help me? I have the same Seiko. I would like try to do the same modding. Where can i buy the ceramic bezel?
where do you buy the parts for the seiko?
beautiful mod
Looks great
Very cool ! It took you 15 min to do that . Very good job !
where to find the same style strap ??
What's the size of the sapphire crystal and where to get the ceramic bezel pls?
I’d like it one but with seiko 5 green from the 61k1. It would be so awesome
What bezel and insert are you using in this build? Where did you purchase it?
It's not stated in the description. Hope you'll updated there
most likely from DLW watches, and the bracelet from strapcode
@@rhysthomas2869 You mean DLW.. 👍👌✌
Very cool video!!
How to get these parts for customise my Sekio 5 sports
Not bad Niko, looks good.
Hello! I searched for SRPE63K1 model in Google and it's showed me only versions without bezel. Is your SRPE63K1 was modified before?
That’s incredible. Didn’t know people modded their watches like this. I’d hire you to mod one of my watches! You’re that good 😊
Impressive
Where to find the transparent rear?
It looks great! But unfortunately because of my small wrists a thicc watch like this just doesn't work as well for me
Is it possible to turn the bezel?
İ really dont understand why you need this customization. İ think first is perfect. Ok thats also perfect but i decide first original design.
Does this tamper with water proofing?
is there a list of parts used?
One question
From where you are buying the dial from Rolex ?
Thanks 🙏
Well done! Nice job. I try to do the same with Seiko 5 SNZF15K1 but the bezel insert i got was not the right size. Anyway..... Can you show me a link where i can get one bezel insert for my watch? Thank you in advance.
Namokimods, search on google
@@TheDubaiExpat Thank you very much for the time you sped answerig me.
As a total watch noob, I wish you would not have cut some of the video so I can see exactly what you're doing. For example when removing the dial face, I don't know what you did, where there any latches or hinges you had to unbuckle? Or do you just use a tool to pry it out? That 1 second of video footage could have explained so many important things IMO. Still, thanks very much for the time and patience taken in making this video, it still helped me understand a lot of the basics. Have a great day :)
we will make another detailed one ok :)!
Hi, Have you ever looked/reviewed Certina DS-Action (Powermatic 80). That is actually a very well built watch
Thank you for sharing idol.
What is the base watch that you used to mod it?
Can i ask for the reason to change a already good looking watch into something else?
Can you do this if you start with a Seiko 5 dress watch, i.e.one without the rotating bezel?
How much to get the whole thing including the mods?
I dont get it. Its not a rolex its not a seiko. Daaaaaaaaamn loved the video thought. You are a very lucky man owning so great watches
its a beater lol i think if he got a bigger hammer it would be smashing!
If you don’t get it then it’s not for you 😎
Maybe 🤔
@@user-oh5ck6vz2f yes my friend!
It’s an homage to the Rolex Kermit.
How many millimeters width of the bracelet? Sna411 seiko
Would you kindly post links to some of your tools, I’d like to invest in better quality modifying tools than what I have.
any idea where to get all of the parts?
Huge fan sir.....huge fan
Oh my gosh! The only Kermit i liked before this video was The Frog!
looks super cool
Great job! I see some dust there any ways
How come no after market can get the shade of the Kermit bezel identical to the Rolex 2007 one.
That would be nice.
Great video how much did it cost you?
We built it for the video together. I am not exactly sure how much Usman normally charges for one. I assume something around 400-500€. BR Niko
Just wondering whats their WR bar? Can you swim with it?
Looks good.
do you know where I can get these parts?
How much should the watch cost?
I’d like to buy one of those dials to suit the NH35 but I cannot find one anywhere.
Cant find him on YT ir IG. Did his channel get taken down?
