A Raffles Replica Build - Vintage 6538 "Bond"

In this watch build video - I use parts from Raffles to build a replica of the 6538 "Bond" watch. This is not intended to be a full tutorial - just sharing my process for doing these builds and the numerous headaches that came along with this one! This build was done with an NH38 movement (despite me repeatedly calling it an NH35 in the video... ), which I picked up from AliExpress (there's lots of options there - just look for the ones with the highest number of sales). Thanks for watching and hopefully you can pick up something for your own watch builds through this video. 00:42 - Dial Setting 06:50 - Hand Snafu 08:26 - Casing & Stem 22:55 - Let's Redo It! 27:42 - Hand Setting 31:41 - Finishing Up List of parts from Raffles: Case (there are 2 other color options FYI): https://rafflesdials.com/rolex-signed...
