In this video, you all get the pleasure of watching me fail miserably at building my own custom watch. This is basically my naive and wishful thinking that watching a couple of Youtube videos would have given me enough knowledge to build a custom watch from scratch using parts from eBay, Aliexpress and other online sources.
Unfortunately, that was not the case, it started of easy enough, but everything descended into madness quite quickly when trying to install the seconds hand.
The purpose of this video is to document my attempt at building my own custom watch. This is my first try but not my last, and I wanted to warn people that were to try this on their own, that your first try may not be successfully so try to source cheaper parts first then build from there.
Alternatively, you could buy a cheap Chinese watch, take it apart and rebuild it as a first alternative.
For the time poor, below is a "don't waste my timestamp" of the video.
