a suction cup end dart for my son's nerf rifle is a great tool for removing the case back; once you loosen it a little with the tool, stick suction cup end in the middle of the case back and counter clockwise turn off. i have large hands, so it's easier when installing case back like this; since the suction will break if too much twist force is applied, no chance of cross threading the threads either.
I was going to send my invicta a watch in to be repaired after watching this video I was able to repair it myself
I can't express how much this is appreciated. Thanks so much for taking the time to document it so well...Watching this has definitely put a custom project on my list of goals for the near future.
You're very welcome. When I was trying to do this, there was really only one set of youtube videos, but TONS of info on forums, while the forums are great....pictures are worth a million words, and video...well that's gotta be even better right?! Some of the video quality isn't great, because I was a bit too zoomed in, but this was my first time recording a mod, so future video in this category will be much better.
Hi, thanks for giving a truly insightful start. I tripped over my dog, a Pit, fell headlong, and banged one up too bad to continue. Been having a terrible time getting the bezel off, I've done a little work on watches, fair amount on clocks, but this is one for trying to repair, nothing to lose. I will be seeing the next, most scoshe. Thanks again, great job.
This video helped me put my second hand back on! I only spent $60 on my watch and Invicta wanted $130 to pop the second hand back into place! Thanks!!
I would never have thought to take note of what position the hands were in, thankyou for saving me so much anguish haha
That was def. one of my lessons learned, because I didn't see or hear that mentioned in anything i had read leading up to it, but it made life so much easier!
Thanks CG, So many of my questions answered in this video. You are a great teacher. Hope to see more soon.
You're very welcome Aart part two is up and I hope to have the final part up in the next few days.
Wow CG! Amazing job on the video. If ever I decide to try to mod a watch this will be the go to tutorial for sure. Look forward to the rest of the series:)
Thanks Bob, I really appreciate that!
Great video, just replaced my, dial with a sterile one, in about 15 minutes, now Singapore Post needs to get me the hands!
Thanks for your video. After seeing it, I knew how to remove the movement and clean the inside of the watch, super clear explanation. Big thanks from the Netherlands👍🏼👋🏼👋🏼
Also love the step by step, best yet!!
Great video and job! Wish I had started this way; but I'm stubborn and decided to go head first into full design, lol!
Can't wait to see more!
LOL!! Sometimes the best way to learn is just to get started!
Great know about range of various tools. With some watches the dial pegs or feet are held in place by two screws on the side of the movement. You may want to loosen them. Don't remove but loosen as they press against the dial pegs or feet. I found out the hard way with my seiko bellmatic.
Also, some have clamps, like a lot of the ETA movements.
Thanks for sharing this Ross. Removing the screws by accident is a bit of a pain! Love your bellmatic!
Just changed the crystal (easy) and hands (not as easy) on my skx009. I forgot to take note what position the hands were in before removal so when I installed the new ones it didn't line up. Second time around, and the date starts to change at 5 o'clock. But by then I was too tired so left it. Not to mention the second and is a pain.
The hands REALLY are a giant pain in the but and take some serious patience! Just a few tips and tricks can help make it a little less of a pain. As for that seconds hand...i'm not sure there is a way to make that one easier...lol.
Very helpful vid series. Thanks for making it!
Very nice, educational video!
Can't wait to see parts 2 & 3.
Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Best,
Scott in Charlotte, NC
You're very welcome Scott! Part 2 is out and part 3 will be out in the next few days.
really like that you're modding this on a Glock mat..
Thanks Sirhcone! It's actually perfect for modding. Gives you a nice soft surface to work on...and it's bad ass...lol
Great ! I was hoping for a series and u did 🙂, very informative. Aspiring to mod a couple of watches myself ...this series will be very helpful. Waiting for the next part .
Thank you Indar! You should def. give this a try, the last part will be out in the next few days!
This is incredibly informative.. I have never been into watch modding and have never done it before, but your video may have inspired me. I would have to get some tools of course but, could happen in the future!
Thank you! I'm telling you, it's worth a shot and it's such a cool feeling knowing you did it yourself.
Thanks CG, very cool. Way to put the learnings into action, and help others. Bravo!!
Thank Larry!!
Thank you for this series! Very informative (and inspiring). Again, congrats! You did such a great job on this mod!
Thank you Anree!!
Nice video!! Looking forward to your next one. After seeing you do this i am really considering trying out for myself. Thank you!!
You're very welcome Jay! I really think you could do it and if you have any questions while you're knocking it out, you can always reach out and i'll help as best as I can.
Awesome, CG! It's like you're a pro at this stuff already! I love a good mini-series with cliffhangers!! "Will CG be able to successfully remove that nasty Invicta name without totally damaging the case? Will she be able to do all the case grinding without it flying out of her vise?? Tune in next time to find out!" 😁
LOL...you have me laughing while I try to keep my coffee down Mitchm! Thank you for being so sweet! Just put out part two and I hope to have part three out in the next few days.
Excellent video. I hope you will tell us where to get the compatible parts. Knowing my luck, I would buy the wrong size dial, bezel insert etc. Thanks CG, I look forward to the rest.
Thanks Chris! In part three I will def. get into where I got all the mod parts and how I did my measurements...etc. Part two is up and I hope to have the final part done in the next few days.
Cool video, looking forward to the remaining vids in the series.
Thanks Bob!
Love this Invicta Mod Crystal. Can't wait to see my Monsters Mods. Amazing Job and thanks for sharing.
That is a video of the month for me, very informative, I MIGHT even buy an Invicta to have some fun with it :D
Thanks Tom! You should def. give it a shot!
You are an incredible instructor, loved this video and I plan on doing a kanji shaped lume on an 8926OB or the Pro Diver 1953 if I can get it.
Also can you pls share the ref for what watch you were wearing making this video? It's very neat!
Very informative, thank you !
Hello nice video I broke the tube stem screw down part on my invicta grand diver model 27614 .. two tone gold .. now stem won’t screw/lock down ..looking at it through a loop it looks like the tube with threads inside the casing is either broken or pushed into the watch .. h
Great videos. Just ordered one of these watches and some parts from eBay
could you make a video on how to take a stem out from a bolt zeus watch that is in the watch and it is a chronograph reserve bolt zeus please help.
Yeah I think I have the watch modding bug now always liked modding things, and like watches. how would you take off the Invicta wordmark only, and leave the wings. I kind of like them.
Awesome vid! Heading to part 2 NOW!
Thanks D!!
awesome I think it's something that I would have fun with, it was helpful thanks
I think you could def. have a good time trying out something like this!
Have you ever heard of a Invicta pro diver abyss? Think it went by number 2886? It has a split-window exhibition caseback? You know anything about that and by the way have a great channel.
It would be cool if you listed each of the tools that you used on each build in the description with a link where to purchase it maybe you could get affiliate credits
the crown? should be able to order a crown similar size and altho it will come longer than u need u can snip it down to size and file the rough end
Hi CG, I have two Grand Divers one coin edge and the other scalloped. Can the bezels be swapped without removing the inserts? Thank you for your.
Hi i love your videos! I have a question... The stem and crown broke on my invicta watch and i lost the pieces... My question is: how do i find the right stem and crown needed for my invicta model 15503 pro diver?
Great tutorial CG, this has inspired me to mod my Invicta as I have the same model. One question so far, did you start with two watches as I observed the first watch you started working on had a yellow rotor and later on, the movement you removed the hands from had a steel decorated rotor? I guess having a spare watch on standby makes sense if this was your plan.
I love how your watch turned out after your mods were completed. Great channel too by the way.
And thanks in advance for your advice. 👍🏼😀
Hey Steve! I did indeed have two watches, I practiced tear down and case work on the scalloped bezel (ref. 8926) while I waited on the coin edged 8926OB (ref. 8926OB) to show up. Originally, my plan was just to take the coin edge bezel off and use the case I had already done all the work to, but the bezels aren't interchangeable, sooooo I got to practice my case work a second time...lol...and finished my mod on the coin edged reference. The awesome thing is that now I have a second movement, which I will fit to my SNZH when I complete it's mod.
+CG AWC Channel interested in a ceramic bezel insert?
Jens Roßbroich I would love a ceramic bezel insert that would fit this invicta reference, I wasn't able to find one.
+CG AWC Channel I need the outer and inner diameter and maybe the height ( the bezel isn't flat I hope you know what I mean)
Hi I’m the intro I seen some of the beautiful watches but one in particular caught my eye it was the hinged square one - did you do any vids on that and do you have any more information on that watch thanks
Nice work thanks
I have an Invicta Pro Diver model 10497. I just discovered that I had a cracked glass in my case back sight window. I have tried to locate a new back on the internet and even went to Invicta and looked at their website but that is not included in the parts description so what do I do about replacing it? Do I get the glass replaced or just a new back and where can I get one if that is the case?
I know I would screw this up so bad in spite of the great video! 😂
LOL!! Once the case back is off and you take the stem out, my first thought was, "oh snap, this just got real, don't mess it up."
Hello there CG. Not seen you on here for a long time hope all is well. I've just been looking at a CZcams video where they track storms hurricanes and stuff. If you live anywhere near the Florida area you'd do well to check out what the weather forecast for your area for the next few days especially the coming weekend is saying. The fellow I was watching reckons that there's a very bad hurricane, hurricane Irma heading for Florida and that people living there should think about getting away from the place for a while. Fingers crossed the bloke in the video is exaggerating but I thought I'd try and pass the message on anyway. Right I'll say goodbye for now. Take care bye for now CG. X
Ist there a Red or blue Saphire Glas fits for Invicta 40mm pro Like the mod glas for Seiko skx is it same size? Is there ceramic bezel for invicta pro?
Do you know what is the differences between the old Invicta 8926 (Miyota 8215 movement) compared to the Invicta 8926 (NH35 Movement)? Beside the movement differences are the watch case dimension different too? Right now i have the Invicta with Miyota 8215 movement, do you think the watch case is compatible with the NH36 movement? Also before i take the watch apart, the Invicta with Miyota 8215 also have the click spring wire as well as the hexagon retention spring right?
Be sure to save all of those original parts so you can restore it in the future when those Invicta divers become rare and valuable. ;-)
LMFAO!!! I would hate to miss out on a big payout just because I don't have the original parts!
fascinating. thanks
You're welcome Bryn.
Nice CG!! As I recall, you are applying what you learned in a class taken in NY or some other location?
Indeed Larry! The JLC master class gave me the confidence and sparked the interest in getting my hands into a watch. I have been looking into watch maker classes now as well....there is something I find incredibly relaxing about working on a watch.
How can I replace the "large metal piece" on the right at 3:18? I lost mine.
Are there any bezels I can buy that are compatible with the Invicta? I don't like the oyster edge and want something with a coin edge. I can't find anything anywhere.
Nice man! I just got my 8926OB yesterday, and I want to mod it! I just need some help and guidance .
Thanks Chucker! I hope these videos help.
Had anyone tried to put a nh35 into a larger quarzt diver like Casio Duro diver?
Where can I get custom dials ordered??
Is that a yellow sticker on the rotor? Is it possible to remove it? I may buy this watch but don't like that yellow rotor.
Hmm....I'll have to take a look to see if it could be removed. The good news is that the hello rotor isn't standard....most are as you would expect, without any special colors on them.
Thanks :)
Whats the size of the dial?
i lost my bezel wire , where can i buy it?
What movement is it? Is it a Miyota 8215?
seiko NH35A i believe
It is the NH35A, which I think is the 7S36 seiko (I might be wrong on that part though).
4R15
I thought the nh35/36 was more equal to the 4r series due to the hacking and hand winding.. could be wrong though.
That's true, but WTfach, actually I was wrong in a way, because it's more like an NH36 but without a DAY track/wheel, and that makes it the same as an 6R15 but without the glucydur balance wheel and upgraded mainspring basically. Invicata started with the Miyota cal.8200's, but a couple of years ago upgraded to hacking Seiko SII movements, and I think at first with the NH20 or NH15 or something, it had hacking but no handwinding if I recall. God what a vicious name game they play, like the the NE15 is the equivalent to the 6R15 etc.
Very cool!
Thank you!!
