So I haven't been working on watches for very long (only completed my first SKX mod last week, have only opened up my 6139 once, etc.) but I've heard whispers on SCWF and elsewhere about people altering a watch complication to serve another function. For example, I've heard rumors of people...

So today I attempted my first foray into watchmaking/modding - swapping the day/date wheel of a NH36 movement. This is the end result: You may notice that the day and date colors don't match. And that's because of today's lesson: don't skimp on tools. I, in my infinite wisdom, assumed that...

Hi all, I do modding and servicing of watches on a part time basis. I saw many people asking how to prevent scratches when opening and closing watches especially on Seikos which can be super tight. So I thought to share some tips on the method which I'm using and so far has not scratched any...
