You did every thing so well and in the end in my opinion is where you have made the real mistake.. taking the finger covers off and touching the gasket.. leading to potential dust particles entering the movement and the inside of the case.. It’s a good build but if you watch lume shot he focuses so much on cleaning.. I think that is the true thing we forget in building our own watches..
yes ideally we should keep the finger glove throughout the whole watch build. But it was so tight that i can barely feel my fingers. so i had to take it off
Thanks for showing the mistakes. We all make them. I'm researching as much as I can before I attempt my first build and this is very helpful. Was the chapter ring already installed in the case you bought?
Yes, that's very wise of you. But don't be worried. Just got for it. You are gonna managed it just fine! Actually I don't install any chapter rings in this build. For chapter ring, I would recommend you to look for a case that already has the chapter ring install. that would be way easier. But if you want to customise the chapter ring, you will need to have the watch glass/crystal press tool. because if not mistaken, you will need to install the chapter ring from the front, instead of the back of the watch. which means you will need to remove the watch glass/crystal to install the ring, before pressing the glass into the watch again. Hope this helps!
oh my goodness! it's a absolutely heart shattering experience. especially when I thought I broke the movement. luckily it's reversible. I truly wouldn't wish it on anyone!
@@arthur-lohThanks Arthur, I ended up ordering parts last week. Some of them from the same link as you sent. It will be my first build so hopefully everything goes well 🤞
what is the dial size? and do movement for 36 mm dial and 40 mm dial are different in size or is it the same sized movement that fits in both dials with spacer?
the dial size is 28.5mm. I have never tried building a 36mm or 40mm dial on NH35 movement. but i would assume yes. all movement are the same in size. so long as your 36mm or 40mm dial says it fits your movement. then you are good to go. and make sure to get the case that fits your dial size. and yes, a spacer will typically be included inside the case to keep the movement in place. and everything should fit perfectly. but whenever in doubt, your best bet is to ask/chat the seller to confirm the compatibility.
@@arthur-lohSorry my bad. By dial size i meant Case dial size not the actual dial itself. My question is does the same NH35 movement should fit both 36 mm and 40 mm case sizes? Or does the movement come in different sizes to fit different case sizes? Hope im able to make you understand my question
Hi guys! I just added the link to all my parts and tools used in this video in the video description. Sorry it took a while for me to prepare as UA-cam requires some verification to have the link activated. So feel free to check back the video description when the link is active! Thanks for the likes, comment and support! I truly appreciate it!
Easy mistake on the second hand, lucky you didn't bend the pin for the second hand, because that is irreversible and the movement is ruined. BTW you should always use either blue or red Loctite on the stem/crown once you have the exact length of the stem correct. Otherwise it can come loose and drop off without you being aware of it.
yeah i was extremely lucky I didn't break the movement. otherwise, it will be a huge price to pay. and yes, i totally agree. I did applied the loctite off camera to secure the crown. thanks for the tips!
unfortunately, the exact seller that I bought from removed the item. Maybe you can try this alternative product link: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DB9x4WL

Nice vid. Hope to see more videos like this
thanks! will keep making it!
The watch is gorgeous, I wanna build exactly the same thing with rubber strap.
Can you please put links to parts and tools you are using. Thanks.
Hi! yes absolutely. I just added the links to the parts in the video description. Feel free to check back it's available!
@@arthur-loh The dial on the link you provided doesn't have Seiko logo like yours from video?
Haha I've done similar on my first few hands. Pushed too hard and jammed the seconds hand into the minute hand so they turn together 😂
oh my goodness! it's a absolutely heart shattering experience. especially when I thought I broke the movement. luckily it's reversible. I truly wouldn't wish it on anyone!
i like you did put some spice, will make viewer curious and watch to find out that "messing.." I'll do too in my video
yeah you should! I'm glad you liked it!
That is gorgeous! I really want to build the exact same piece. Can you add links to all the parts please?

To make mistakes is human, as long as we fix them.
Yes you are absolutely right!

Can you link the seiko and oyster letters for the dial? Thank you
