Current tools in the box

From Amazon:

• Pair of clear plastic dome trays
  
• Silicone Repair Mat
  
• Watch Press and Pry Tools
  
• Caseback and Movement Holder
  
• Hand Press and Hand Removal Tweezers (i actually took the post out of the press, and used the piston by itself. the press does not move straight up and down, so I found it easier to hand hold the piston and guide the press myself slowly.
  
  • I have these hand press tools on order, and should hopefully have them in the next week.
    
• Rodico
  
• General Watch tool Kit
  
  ​
  
  Also, this is the walkthrough video I used for reference when changing the movement.

  Happy Modding!

Here's my list of tools. I and not any sort of expert and by no means claim it's the best, but I've been able to do mods successfully with it!

• basic tool kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PVN1DC0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

  I think that's most of it...
  
  If I had to do it over again I think I would buy this kit
  
  https://www.esslinger.com/watch-repair-deluxe-watch-tool-set/
  
  It has basically all the useful stuff short of a cheap amazon crystal press!

The bezel I had to get from an ebay seller, as that style was completely sold out by all the seiko mod part websites that carry it. Got the bezel right here https://www.ebay.com/itm/323548307259.

The green bezel insert is from DLWwatches

Also, not in the picture, but now on the watch is this bracelet from StrapCode which I HIGHLY recommend. It makes the watch feel very premium. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CHZ9ADE/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_uV7PDbVYA674H

I picked up this cheap one off amazon, seemed to worked well enough.
Ohuhu Watch Press Set, Professional 13 Piece Watch Case Closer With 12 Dies, Watch Press Kit For Close Snap Off Watch Back Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PVNPSV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5GlACbHXVXPGE

Here's the one I got. Totally know what you mean, which is why I tried looking for a cheaper option first. I'm not likely to use it, so if you'd be interested to pay for the shipping I wouldn't mind sending it your way. Gotta warn you though, I live in Hawaii so it might be relatively expensive...

get yourself some rodico https://www.amazon.com/Bergeon-Professional-Cleaning-Rodico/dp/B008YMGYBU/

WD40 is for displacing water and breaking loose a rusty connection. It is not a replacement for a proper set of tools. Your case back is likely NOT rusted on. Therefore, do the following- invest the small amount of money it takes to get a Paylak TS-CH300 Metal Watch Repair Tool and a KMCT17001 Excellent Watch Repair Tool AL-Handle 3 Point Waterproof Screw Case Opener KMDECYY TM . When you have those put the watch firmly into the holder, adjust the wrench to the proper size, hold down firmly and turn the wrench to the left until it becomes loose. That simple!
