  • This video is a review of Namoki’s GS Dive Watch case and bracelet bundle with a close-up look at two builds which I did using the case. I really am pleased with both of them and I would encourage an ADVANCED builder to use the opportunity to build a piece with one of these.

      Yes they are! I’m glad you’ve had hands on experience. I was blown away by this bundle. Considering it includes crown and bracelet, the price is strong and the quality is amazing

    Very nice build, you right chapter ring is not very readable.
    Maybe dial with 24 markers around standard ones would work better?
    I used it for my GMT build and it is more visible.

    I don't understand why every bracelet is not built with the glidefit or t-fit type of clasp anymore. It can't cost all that more.

      I am SOOO with you. Microadjust is helpful, but on-the fly is the BIZ. I found a great aftermarket clasp with on the fly and would have used it here, but the smallest clasp is 18mm and this strap is 16mm

      @@watchmebuildit They just need to figure out how to slim them down a bit, they all seem to be monstrosities. But then I like old style Rolex hollow links that clink and jingle on the wrist, so there's that I guess.

      Hi Neal. The link for the clasp is in the description below the video

      Hey there Lee. Truth be told, I was really IMPRESSED at how well this case wears. With the flat sapphire, it’s only 13mm thick. The bracelet is also very wearable with 20mm - 16mm dimensions.
      But your point is valid, kinda like the new ‘Mini’ vs. the original or the new Fiat 500 vs. The original - all of our modern requirements have swelled the size for sure.

      If you buy a chapter ring and a bezel insert made for the SKX007 from the Namoki website, they will fit.
      I also have links for the white on black GMT chapter ring and the Batman GMT bezel insert below my video.
