    Love your videos, just one little critique, the indicies lume is white while the hands lume are yellow. during daytime viewing I would want the lume to be the same colour. I really enjoy how you put the watches together, the alignment and accuracy are second to none. You do a better job with basic tools than the professionals with pro tools. Keep the mod videos coming, very entertaining.

    I bought off Aliexpress for £73 a few months back a very acceptable turtle, with a NH36 instead of the 35, a beautiful dark red sunburst dial and has a glass bezel insert which is also lumed and the quality is just gawjus, I was going to Seiko up the dial but to be honest I think it looks way better and I can always buy a stick on logo if it really became an issue. Just bought too a heavily modified tuna, has a deep knurled body and bezel sides, never seen one like this, has a 4R35 in as it did start life off as a genuine Seiko and only fly in ointment is it has a snapped stem but NH35 stems are plentiful so no biggie :D

    • @ShortBetter
      @ShortBetter  Рік тому +2

      It's simple😊
      1. Get a really good waterproof case, not the one for 30-50$ from Ali
      2. Make sure all the gaskets are in good shape, use a silicone grease for the gaskets again.
      3. Cross your fingers and go to swim😄

      @@roger.bhutan it comes with the feeling, hard to explain 😅 If you set the time to midnight super slowly, then you probably can send the hour hand exactly on 12.

      I had a Rdunae Rx2 (The Captain Willard homage) pressure tested to 150m which is the WR number on that watch's dial, it passed. Generally speaking most of the AliExpress homages are made from quality components, all seals are present and as long as the guy assembling the watch wasn't having a bad day you should be good. I believe it was Heimdallr who had a marketing pic of their 1000m Tuna homage next to a dive computer displaying that depth. Who knows if that's for real? If you're really going to dive with a watch, I'd get one with an ISO rating (Citizen are probably the most wallet friendly and easy to find)

    I don't see the point of this. It doesn't personalise the watch, only makes it more disingenuous and potentially illegal. It doesn't do both Seiko and Steeldive justice.

    • @ShortBetter
      @ShortBetter  3 місяці тому

      I agree on the second point. Many people want to modify their watches but don't know how. That's why I made this video, to show how easy it is to change the dial at least

    • @carlad2640
      @carlad2640 3 місяці тому

      It's only illegal if you sell the watch as a genuine or counterfeit Seiko. I too don't see the point unless it is an amazing dial only Seiko make. Nevertheless it is a useful video.

    How come you couldn't show how you adjust the balance wheel? If you've modded around 50 watches, how come you have the absolute minimum levels of tools. A screwdriver, pin pusher, soft cloth and blower. Need to upgrade the toolkit my friend.

    • @ShortBetter
      @ShortBetter  7 місяців тому

      I can't show how I adjust the balance wheel because I use my phone to film the video. I use Accuracy app on the phone for that purpose. Perhaps I need to get another phone just to make this video😄

    • @ShortBetter
      @ShortBetter  7 місяців тому

      And about the tools. I think you noted it right. With more experience, you need fewer tools. I could get some fancy hand presser, but what for? I can do it by hand with 95% precision. But I do need to change the cloth I use for the movement though 🤣🤣

    How about buying the right dial for the movement instead of putting tape in your watch. Double sided adhesive or dial stickers is not what you do if you care about your watch mod, the dial will move eventually. If you take the time you can find the exact dial you want for your mod that will fit the movement you have.

    • @ShortBetter

In the Seiko 6105, 7002 and both 6309s it is exactly at 4, on the SKX it moved a bit earlier than 4 and on the SteelDive, in order to resemble the willard look they moved it a tad behind 4 o'clock.

      Dude you keep commenting on these videos. No 6105 from !!!1971!!! Has pearly white lume. Half of these came from humid climates. They are in collectors condition- rarely good. And plus the text is not on par w original. Same goes for vintage submariners. Tons of people mod one for personal use. You can't supply the masses w a vintage watch not in production and rarely showing 80 on the public market. Your being a bummer. And read about 3 of your comments spanning some of these seiko videos. Hell I'm not even a huge seiko guy. But I can tell you I know ebays a gamble regardless. I don't buy 7002 mods and there is a million on ebay. I clearly can tell an original or atleast a haggled together skx or 7002 from even a oem dial or these wild creations made in the Phillipines. Comes down to you gaining more knowledge of not only this hobby but apply critical thinking to any of them. Wish you come down off your bummer
