I really enjoy watching your videos, especially building watches. I wanted to build my own watch for over a year now and finally ordered some parts.

I just saw your build! Looks amazing!!! Great work!!!
Having built a watch from parts myself, I can tell you mostly left the struggle of putting the hands on the watch in the video 😂

it is the worst part for me. I want to show that it's not all roses and sunshine when you first start out. Thank you for watching.
My tip I’ve picked up to space the hands easily is you can use (and I do) a Bergeon dial protector to ever so slightly lift the angle of the hands so they clear one another and the indices. Works a treat for me. Always the seconds hand I have trouble with haha. Nice build! I’ve got a black dial in my cart ready as I’ve wanted a Nautilus style watch but don’t really like any of the ready-made homages. :)

Thank you for the tip! If you are buying that particular case the edges of the case are a bit sharp.
I just ordered some parts to make a Rolex daydate rep. Really love the content!

Thank you so much. It wears nice too.
If you're using rodico to place the hands, use it to pick them up by the tip, place over the post, push down with hand pushers, pull rodico away while still holding down with the pusher

I understand the pain. lol. I am always on the hunt for new watches to build
I still love my LV reverse monogram nkuwan clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.
The conversion is well done even if I had to remove the bracelet completely to avoid scratches on it. I think the case is too copied from the Natuilus. I would really like the Chinese to simply stop copying other designs and instead use their know-how to develop their own designs. China has so much history in the country and so many great things that only exist there. Use this to develop your own designs.

Honestly, if I could find an "original" case that hadn't been copied from a major brand I would use that. I really like building watches and could see myself designing them one day. Thank you for watching!
Do you think you can put a nh34 in the same case? Different dial of course..
The split pins are supposed to come out from one side only. You should push from the closed end.

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind for next time. I could not figure it out.

I always find watches I think look pretty and they always end up being homages. I would love to find a dial, hands, and case that are not homage or straight ripoffs.
Bracelets are - heavy, - bulky, - not friendly with every skin and - scratch magnets

but other than that... lol. I like the aesthetics of this build and wore the watch for the first time yesterday. It is a bit heavy but does not feel bulky. The only irritating part of the watch was the case on either side of the wrist.
I just built a watch for my wife with the same dial. Im not a fan of branded dials. I like to place my own logo on them.

I would love to see photos of the watch. You can share on my socials or email me directly.
I swear the happiness I feel when #nkuwan uploads a video is beyond!!!!
