Pro tip; when holding hands so you can press them on, don't use tweezers. Use rodico to hold the hands. Just pick the up at the tip & center the hole over the hand stack & press it on with your hand pressing tool. No scratches plus it holds the hand steady & stable. Makes it a lot easier to place the second hand.

This video got me thinking of what complications I consider "essential." I got my first Seiko 5 earlier this year, one of the old 7S26 models, and its my first automatic watch. I didn't realize how useful the day/date thing on there would be, so much so that my ideal mechanical watch would always have one. It might be especially useful for me given the nature of my changing work schedule, but I love it. I think another complication I'd really like is a power reserve indicator, and maybe a GMT function for if I ever move from home. It's hardly an essential complication, but I'm also a fan of moonphases and small seconds.

I like the build but 40mm would be the perfect size for me. The issue I have is that for a self-made watch Namoki is pretty expensive. Buying parts on Ali Express yields pretty much the same thing, at half the price. I guess if Namoki has a dial that you have to have or a hand set that you can't find anywhere, then go for it. Otherwise, I can usually find comparable parts for cheaper elsewhere.

I've built a few watches now. I have a bronze 6105 "Captain Willard" case that I'm getting ready to build up. After a while the second hand gets easier, figuring out how to set it on the pinion was the key for me. I've made a few watches as gifts for friends, and wow, that is a nice gift that they will cherish. I really enjoyed this video.

13:35 That's a dad with great understanding how to redirect a child that is exploring! No frustration. Miss those days! Enjoy them cause they fly by quickly.
