Thank you for watching. - Jak na to + styl
Just when you thought you had all the watches you needed….. mark uploads lol
Lol
...Almost there - just the 38mm version to go and I'm in!
Okay!
I'd be up for the SKX013 titanium mod case. My only real gripe with SKX013 is that it's just a bit too top heavy for everyday wear.
Okay, thanks
Could be a good option: build yourself (ordered) fully customized including Islander dials or sterile. 🤔
Could be
I've been building watches from parts for a few months now, it's fun :D
Can't wait for that Watch-n-Learn! That's going to be an interesting one.
Thanks for sharing Marc!
Thanks!
I remember when I was a kid growing up in the city (SF not NY, but grand parents lived in Connecticut) there was a Radio Shack in every neighborhood. It was cool because in the early to late 80's they all sorts of parts for the hobbiest. I really like that you are producing these parts. Not going to lie, the titanium case is pretty smart. Reminds me of your neighborhood watch shop.
Fun times! I did my first mod with parts from your store and I can see it being a very addicting hobby.
Cool!
Good idea man. We can always trust you to offer quality products
Indeed!
Cool offering, Marc! Way to go!
Thank you
Great idea, Marc! It's awesome to have more mod options from LIW. And titanium is super cool!
Thanks!
Good Lord, Marc. This is not the video my bank account needed me to see. I'm loving all of your interesting enthusiast offerings and these are really interesting.
Great idea, and looking forward to the Watch & Learn episode.
Awesome, thank you!
Cool idea! I would take it to my favorite watchmaker. I have a long history of taking things that are working perfectly and “improving” them to non-functional.😱. Fortunately for you, the modding community is thriving. Best wishes!❤️
Thank you!
Hahaha, I have the same “improving to non-functional” habit.
SWEET! Can’t wait to get to work on one of these!
Great!
Holy crap! This is akin to building S&S engines for a Harley Davidson! Cool!
I like that knurled bezel. A nice difference to the multitude of coin edge bezels in the world!
Thank you
This is very cool, albeit bit outside my current budget, but definitely on my radar for a future project.
You should!
Great news! I'm modding watches myself. My two cents: not all amatures like me would like to transfer a crystal. Maybe offer also the case with sapphire crystal? I'm afraid I'll crack the crystal or crack the seal, or the diameter measurement will not be accurate.
Too many variants
This is a great idea Mark.
Thanks
Marc, that titanium case just gave me an idea to a mod of an Islander I want to do... Think the Red October but with GS style hands... This case... 🔥🔥
Great!
That new bezel is awesome.
Thanks!!!
You should do the titanium case swap on an ISL 18. Also just got my fluted bezel and sapphire crystal that I ordered from you installed on my srpe 53 and MAN it is a looker let me tell you. Thanks for providing such awesome parts and services to the community.

Solid gold skx case would be sick
Cool!
The SKX case is pretty much perfect.
It’s to large for those of us w/ smaller wrists. The SRPE case is a better option at 40mm.
I recently noticed a bunch of SKX cases pop up on aliexpress, I figured it was you having them made :D
That’s really awesome, Marc. Loved the Titanium case along with its crown and bezel. When will you be releasing the instructional video?
Need to film it. Lol
Love the titanium!
Me too
I hope one day you will have a titanium bracelet available as well. Selling it all as a (plug and play) kit with a pre cut crown stem would be amazing.
Okay, thanks.
Just set a new land speed record going from a video of yours to a purchase. Bring that titanium to me!
Lol. Thank you
Great idea 👍
Thank you! 😊
3 o'clock position to 4 o'clock position is 30 degrees Marc! Love the Ti case BTW
Lol. I had to think on the fly!
it's actually not quite 30°, it's actually 23.2° (because it's rotated 2/31 of one full turn)
Nice idea wow 😍👌🏻
Thanks!
Hey Mark, will the 3 o clock case fit the movement for the Orient Ray ii?
Those titanium cases are gonna sell like hot cakes.
Hopefully. That's the plan
I have a titanium samurai and love it. Time to do this to my skx. Do you offering a service that does the conversion for a price?
The titanium case looks great any plans to prebuilt watch, and or accompanying titanium bracelet with it?
Not yet. Bracelet is pricey
Awesome!
Thanks!
Was bummed when Namoki stopped selling theirs, but this is better with the caseback and bezel? Any plans to have an OEM style bezel as opposed to the coin style, and will you offer ones with the visible lug holes?
You had me at "Titanium".
Mark, I love your channel and you’re one of the most knowledgeable watch guys on the net. I bought my son a Seiko SSB323p1 with a 22mm band width. The problem is no matter how many links in the band I remove or add, with only two fine adjustment pin location holes, the band is either too loose or too tight on my son's wrist. My question is, if I buy a new genuine Seiko 22 mm band with more than two fine adjustment holes, do you know off hand if it will fit the watch ? Thanks for your time...
it won't. You'll need to find a clasp instead. Do you know the width at the clasp. Might not be 22mm. Might be 20mm. Then, get a clasp, like our CLASP-01, that has more micro.
@@islandwatch Ok, got it, Thank you sir !
Wow that Titanium case is super awesome! Super tempting. What's the chance of a 40mm (DressKX) size? I would pull the trigger on the smaller size right now without hesitation.
We shall see.
Awesome
Thanks
Marc, will the SKX titanium case take original Seiko parts (crown, crystal, bezel, caseback, etc)?
Check out our website. I'm fairly detailed with the description
Sweet, you HAVE to make blank sarb style cases! Will dials be part of the future Long Island mod scene!?
We do some dials already
The titanium case is really nice, but a complete titanium watch can be had from Heimdallr for $200 delivered.
Hi Mark😁
Please do a SNXS alternative case - will fix the “flying saucer” appearance. You could also make the lug a more common 20mm rather than the current 19mm
Okay, thanks
Please make a titanium SRPE case w/ pre installed flat sapphire crystal. A good many of us don’t like divers. The dimensions of the SRPE is firmly in the Goldilocks zone.
Okay, thanks
Would you ever think about doing a titanium islander field watch $500 or under?
Will there be any difficulty in removing the titanium bezel and reassemble it later?
Yes
Yes!!!!
Great... now where do I get a (skx 22mm) titanium bracelet to match my case??
Hey Mark, do you know what grade titanium is used in your cases?
Inspiring! Titanium build.😎
Any chance for a titanium bracelet too?
Titanium Spork? I think I've got to try.
Too pricey
How much would it cost to make a costume titanium for a Seiko ska
If you mod a seiko to nh35 as compared to a rolex to nh35 is that a clone or frankenwatch or replica or fake? Or change it to eta just example.
Titanium bracelets coming?
I suspect selling mechanical watch movements is a kin to making a rod for your own back? Its going to end in tears.
I'm afraid of too many after sale issues
Are you ever going to do a marine master style islander?
No plans yet
which grade of titanium is it?
Does the titanium case have a screw down crown?
Of course
Will you have a titanium 3 o’clock position case as well?
No plans
@@islandwatch thanks for the update. I dig that 3 o'clock position case a lot! Ill probably have to start getting creative soon ;)
Will the be a titanium bracelet to go with the case?
No
@@islandwatchBooo
Does anyone know of where you can get custom rotors for the NH3x movements? I've seen so many options for cases, dials, hands, etc but no custom rotors.
No idea
A gentleman by the name of Junior-Trouble over at Reddit (r/SeikoMods) makes custom rotors. Maybe he can make one for you.
Thanks. I'll look him up.
So now I can make an SKX Samurai
Does this mean there's a titanium Islander on the way?
No, sorry
Will this work on SPRG models?
No
hi Marc
It surprised me that the crown on the titanium case is in titanium too. We all know that titanium does not like to thread, it galls when turning to thread onto the crown tube. I would rather see the crown and tube made from steel. I think it would last longer?
Damn it man.. i just bought a hiemdallr skx case on aliexpress last month. If i would have known this i would have waited.. i hope you open up the flood gates on the mod parts. Im tired of ordering stuff from Asia and Switzerland, the shipping takes forever and a day.
Doing my part.
First! Damn, titanium SKX mods? Count me in! Cheers Marc!
Got it!
A lower-profile bezel would reduce weight even further, and reduce the top-heavy nature of the SKX.
Noted
Wow!
Okay, anybody have any ideas / suggestions on where to buy titanium bracelets, high beat movements and saphire crystals for the titanium case? Marc included of course!
Thanks in advance...
Titanium bracelets are just so tough to come by, as the machining is SOOOO expensive. Crystals we sell. Movement, go to ebay.
@@islandwatch Thanks Marc, is the miyota 9015 movement compatible with the Titanium SKX case? Also, Islander bracelets are way better than most Seiko ones so would they match the case too or look a bit mish mash?! Cheers :)
@@MuscleBandit the case is made for the seiko 7s/nh/4r movements
@@TheAechBomb okay thanks bud 👍
You tube is not sending notifications even though subscribed ,
When is the titanium islander coming
No time soon
put the teal sandwich dial in the skx case sold.
noted!
Countdown to the first Ti Islander in 3... 2...
LOL
I’ve always found the SKX007 to be top heavy and unbalanced on my wrist. A titanium case could solve that beautifully.
True
What about a titanium bracelet?
No
Marc: 69 bucks ...
Immature me: hehehe nice.
In all seriousness though, the case looks great and you went the extra mile with the crown and whatnot, respect.
Thank you.
Please make a titanium bracelet with titanium endlinks.
Too expensive
Okay, so pretty soon Long Island Watches will be selling build your own watch kits...?
Maybe
🤔 Is Hemel a Dutch brand? Because Hemel means Heaven in Dutch..
but what about Titanium Islander ??
No plans
Lol💪👍😂
:)
I wish she would do your Islanders in titanium
Noted
Do an 18 then sell it to me!
Sounds like a giveaway video!
200 usd for a watch case ...
Once you get away from mass production, things get expense.
It’s also titanium which is extremely hard to mill.
It's titanium
