    This watch wasn’t feminine at all even with the other bracelet. Was very enjoyable to watch and to see your pure excitement of making and upgrading your watch. I’m at the start of my watch making journey and stuff like this is really helpful and exciting to watch.

    Im in the process of ordering parts for my own field watch. Ive found this series the most down to earth, and helpful one of the many modding videos of UA-cam. Good work dude.
    The bad thing, is that im already planning my second one before ive even ordered the parts for my first.

  • @DunePanda
    @DunePanda Місяць тому

    Btw I ordered everything you had linked and here are my findings:
    1- to find the correct pushers to hse is almost impossible.
    2- the nh34 is fairly lose inside the nh34 case.
    3- the hammer sticker was nothing like yours. I got a flimsy skeletonized sticker.
    4- the blue bezzle was NOTHING like yours. So I had to order black hands with a blue gmt hand.
    5- I went with a grey leather strap.
    6- the seconds hand was the hardest to push in. I was soo scared if I pushed it wrong it would destroy the seconds post.
    Note to anyone who thinks this is easy....IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT. It would be easier if I had a microscope because these parts are Flippin TINY!
    Rodico was a life saver.

    I recently started building NH35 based watches and enjoy your content.
    By accident I found that a tiny amount of rodico on the tip of the second hand pusher grips the hand directly over the post. With a decent magnification I can line up and push the hand on easily. Also the grippy back of the case cushion is excellent for removing/tightening screw-in case backs.

  • @jetlife2
    @jetlife2 28 днів тому

    This absolutely resembles the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT. Your bezel is a lighter blue but they both look great. On the other hand I think the jubilee bracelet is too dated and the oyster style is cleaner. Everyone’s taste is different of course!

    1:00 My Vostok Komandirskie watch also is like that.
    The hour and minute hands are out by 5 minutes and the 24 wheel of this model is out by 20 minutes from the hours hand.
    Not that this bothers me as it does not affect reading the time and is part of the Russian made roughness of it.
    The most watchmaking I have done is regulating this piece and modifying 3 Casios.

    I have here latex gloves, finger cots and a bag of cotton gloves, took me a while to find cots that I could put up with as I have super thick hands and fingers, my little fingers are both Z's and my middle finger is Z+4... standard cots just don't fit nor gloves but the cotton ones do stretch enough to not be restrictive.

    • @blankczechz
      @blankczechz 4 місяці тому

      Watch out for cotton as it can leave fibers on the movement. If you can find aftermarket nitrile or latex gloves in extra large you can cut off the thumbs and see if they fit.

    Really enjoyable content, first video I've seen from you, thanks to the algorithm
    I noticed you're like myself and shake a lil bit, try and release some of the tension from your arms/hands as best you can when trying to focus, it's easy to get tense under the concentration, but relaxing will ease a lot of those shakes
    And get yourself a loupe asap! The difference it makes is incredible and you'll have a deeper understanding of the movement you're working on
    The blue is so nice, don't think it would suit me, but just another video that is getting me tempted to pimp a watch of my own!

  • @still976
