c'mon really?...I don't run a manufacturing facility, I'm a one person gig. I'm not doing screen printing. What I am doing is drafting etchings, cutting etchings, setting and using a manual pad printer, sourcing parts (not as easy as it sounds), and yes even creating custom parts like spacers, movement holders, custom hands, etc. When all put together is not as simple as it sounds and takes way more tools than one would imagine. I guess you don't know until you do it all yourself. Using lasers, water jets, 3d printers, manual pads, dial designs, etc isn't being a builder or creator? I'd say take a look at across my side at a variety of sorts of projects I do.

hey there. Did you fill out the form on my website? It's a matter of me knowing what case you are using and what movement you are using and we could work on making a custom holder if you want. All the info can be found here: watchcomplications.com/ten-six-watches/custom-movement-holders/

Many thanks! And thanks for watching.

The holder fits the Ronda 515 series to the SKX007. If you want to put the 515 in a different case, then the holder might need to be different, the intended movement doesn't matter that much because most cases come with a holder to fit a movement to that specific case, such as the NH35. If you change the movement then you need to change the holder, usually. watchcomplications.com/ten-six-watches/movement-and-case-combinations/

they’re good enough and cost effective enough I bought a second pair. They’re good for all sorts of tasks. I also use them when removing splinters from me or others in the house, doing light kit wiring on LEGO, you name it!

Very cool, good deal. Change the strap if you value your hair!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching. (p.s., a little terror is still useful, lol)

being a GMT, the 9075 has more height than the 9015, so the holder and/or spacer would have to be altered to accommodate the difference.

Get a good pair (brass) and then have some cheap spares, yes.

horotec usually offers slightly lower cost swiss versions of bergeon products. If I was going to get one pair, it would be the brass tweezers I show in this video.

never know what interests might stick! exposure helps :)

this thing works just fine, and I use it a lot. There's no reason something like this should cost what Horotec and Bergeon charge.

@@WatchComplications Yes, I completely agree. The prices of almost anything of late, let alone that of commodities have become nothing short of extortionate.

yeah it would take special gearing and getting it that small in a watch would be a challenge for sure.

glad you found it helpful!

It's a question that's been asked a few times in the comments, and I wish that it worked, but I tried a flip with both this watch and a Seiko Presage which has a similar strap clasp design, but it doesn't work the way you think it would. Looks and feels odd if flipped.

sold mine eventually. I'd watch for them on Chrono24.

The specific case I used in this build can be found on ebay and aliexpress. I have more info on the builds here: watchcomplications.com/ten-six-watches/movement-and-case-combinations/

@@WatchComplications Thank you. I'm trying to look for cases that will work for a pocket watch movement and sleeve/stem. Nothing modern. But looking quite a bit around I may have to do something just custom.

@@jeremyhunter1459 have you looked specifically for "conversion cases" for pocket watches? Some exist, but a lot of the work in that space is custom.

@@WatchComplications yes. There's a company that has cases for a 16s movement. But nothing for a 6s, which would be a 40mm case and a 12s which is 45-46mm case. I'm looking into different sources from where I may be able to get cases that would fit the sleeve/stem, fabricated.

@@jeremyhunter1459 cool, lemme know if you find em!

??

@@theemaadhatter3400 is like "FrankenWatch"

ah ok, yeah, but people want cool movements in cool cases, especially in the watch mod community.

what’s with the abrasive wording? and anyone who wants to manually make their own dials. I show many other tools in other vids and also alternative methods, but watchmaking tooling is near endless.

oh I wouldn't put to much faith in the accuracy beyond what any typical low-end mechanical movement can provide, which isn't awful, but that depends on your perspective. Probably +/- 30 sec a day, could maybe be better or worse. I've since sold it as I didn't wear it much...or maybe I gave it away.

They’re typical hands I’d say. Thanks for watching.

I tend to apply 4-6 very thin layers of primer with 2-3 minutes between each application to a dial blank. Don’t use an etching primer unless you are going for an etched look on the base.

it was a very cool watch, but alas i sold it as it wasn’t getting wrist time. I will always keep my SBGE249 though.

@WatchComplications it is rather small though, but if I could get the beads of rice bracelet for it, it will definitely makeup for it's size

agree about it being small, 37mm is about my limit on the small side. A bracelet would help with that some.

if you want mental pain and suffering, try to make custom watch hands 😆

oh, I see what you are saying. The issue there is the height. Adding that sort of adapter between the dial and the movement will require hand posts that are longer to accommodate the height of the adapter, and the case would have to be tall enough to handle that, along with the stem height in the case. Not sure that would work.

@@WatchComplications it’s actually dial, movement, adapter “clamps” the movement to the dial. So the movement is up against the dial. 2035 is smaller and slimmer than NH35.

oops! I just went to your website and realized that u're selling custom inserts.

you can always contact me on via my website if you want to discuss projects, but if you are talking about an stem insert cut in PLA to match all the dimensions of the actual stem, the printer isn't accurate enough for stem-making, if you know what I mean. As for PLA having trouble holding up...haven't heard of any issues yet and I've had some out there for a few years.

older videos, but glad some of the content is still proving useful for the process :)

@@WatchComplications its all good stuff

thanks for watching!

spot welders are great too. this video just shows one method/option. maybe will show the welder at some point.

@WatchComplications I do want to try this method though. I can imagine I will have to at some point. I also have been kicking around laser soldering. I pulse my laser on some solder and its a done deal. I use low melt. I havent perfected it though. I have to play with the settings more. I know there are machines set up to do it. Thats what gave me the idea. I will watch your video you gave me. I coule always use the added knowledge. Thank you very much.

@@JoeKyser there are some devices to help with this sort of soldering specifically, and I know they might be useful. I intend to test one out at some point and if so, I would capture it as a video as well.

good price! and yeah, it's a great great watch. thanks for watching.

I’m assuming you mean if it starts to show on the other side? I’ve not had that problem, just doing go to deep or push too hard when milling. You don’t have to apply to much pressure. Cuts like butter.

@@WatchComplications Correct thanks for replying not all channels reply so kudos to you.

I always try to respond when possible :) Thanks for watching.

I don’t know, that sounds unnecessarily complicated, haha.

I do try to zoom in when I can, but that video is quite old, so I wasn’t as astute at videography. As for the ratio, It’s about 1:1, but I go by look and feel. If you get too much of the adhesive, just give it a bit of time and it will evaporate some and thicken.

thanks for watching!

yes

It's a screwdown case back, that is fairly typical of watch cases, if that's what you're asking.

@@WatchComplications I meant that the metal case backs made out of 2 pieces, welded. My question was about the case back with crystal, is it one piece with thread?

@@neverstov I believe it's one piece (with the crystal pressed into place)

@@WatchComplications you are my hero! Thank you very much) 😊

manual printing = things move regardless of material, but yeah that can help with an initial guide

copper beryllium bushings

hey there. If you hold this watch in direct sunlight you aren't going to be able to see the time. the light washes out any sense of what tubes are on. you gotta shade it a bit.

@WatchComplications Phew....glad it wasn't just me ... Thankyou for reply

by the time you hit 30 pulses on the person, the second hand could be anywhere depending on their heart rate

gonna be popular combos I think!

I use this tool quite a bit. It is perfectly suitable without breaking the bank. Plenty of other branded attachments fit, so that's a good option. You could even 3d-print custom tool ends for it and that is one thing I've done :)

get a new lume compound that is a vintage/cream color, or just don’t put a heavy layer on.

the hype around these things at launch was crazy. like many other watches. but at least it seems people are getting back to normal and not overpaying for things that will eventually be on the shelf.
