I Built the Seiko Diver They Never Made | DIY Seiko Mod

Can AliExpress parts recreate the super-lume diver experience? In this video, I build a custom Seiko Samurai-inspired diver using an NH35 movement, oversized lume dial, and premium watch parts. We'll find out if a 44mm Samurai case can work on a 6.1-inch wrist, compare the lume to my Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300, and see whether this Seiko mod budget is actually worth it. 📹 Videos mentioned: Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Own DIY Watch -    • Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Own DI...   I Built a Grand Seiko Homage Using AliExpress Parts -    • I Built a Grand Seiko Homage Using AliExpr...   ✅ Watch Parts Samurai case with bracelet - https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3h...
