WOW. This is just absolutely gorgeous.
I DO NOT reccomend buying a dial which has branding on it when its not made by the original manufacturer.
Parts used:
Case - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dec...
Dial (NO LOGO) - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBp....
Hands - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DD1...
Strap - s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dc9...

nothing needs to change about this channel's format in my mind. you're clearly having a good bit of fun trying out new things with these watches :)
You've got yourself into watches?
i NEVER thought i would enjoy watching someone builds a knockoff watches so much man keep it up u found your succes formula on yt
I've built a lot of watches using Seiko movements. I agree with not using a Seiko marked dial if I'm building it. One tip I can offer is have wooden toothpicks in your toolbox. Wooden toothpicks won't scratch anything on the watch, can be used for lining up the hands, and removing the stem and crown.
Let’s watch Elliot build another watch! 👀
Love the build. Something I learned from a buddy of mine who services Omegas - when setting the hands, after you set the date and place the hour hand at 12, you can rotate the hour hand to the 3 o clock position to set the minute hand back at 12. Then do a full rotation and let the date change over again just to make sure all is well. Then you can set the seconds hand on back at 3 o clock. From my understanding, it’s a bit easier to set the hands this way, and this is the way Omega authorized service centers set the hands.
A word of advice, always whenever possible use a piece of rodico to move/ pick up/ place delcate objects like hands etc.. Without scratching the item.. A great looking homage.. Nice work.

Keep these builds coming absolutely love them!
I build these as a hobby and I can tell you that you did the exact right thing using the flush cutters to get rid of the extra legs on the dial. They're meant to be there just in case your case has a 3 or 4 o'clock position.
I’d like to see a video where you build the fanciest/most elaborate watch possible. Maybe loaded with as many features as possible or make it as high end as possible.
These skin divers case have such a classic design, I love it!
Keep these videos coming! Youre getting alot of people into watches AND retro stuff. Youre too cool
The passion you put into everything you do, makes every video wonderful.
This is amazing!!! More watch videos plz! Love the new change in tech from handheld, to wrist worn!
Shout out to you for branching out and succeeding, most youtubers do new content and it just flops. Nice job.
Wonderfully done. Thank you for taking my suggestion from the last video and listing the parts!
would love to see this become a series
Oh nice drop! I was just looking at AliExpress watches!
I enjoyed that! Thanks for all the details - helps a lot.
