DIY Watchclub

Anyone have any experience with DIY Watchclub?

How was it? Good? Bad? Fun? Frustrating?

Thanks!

That’s how I started modding. Their assembling videos are worth it. Their cases and dials are nice, but the bracelets are not good. If there is an option don’t pay for a bracelet or strap. I now buy the parts separately because it is cheaper. Namoki mods has better parts, but their toolkit is inferior and their instructions suck.

I whole heartedly agree with everything you just said

I have their red fume dial dive watch from DIY watch club. I would summarize the experience as how you put it: good, fun but initially frustrating. It got me into modding watches. Between the toolkit the dive watch came with and some informative videos on YouTube I can do basic maintenance on my other watches which is great

What can I say? You've found WatchCrunch. I don't know how many people this community supported through their first build. We have people here who restore vintage watches, some disassemble and reassemble movements just for fun.

That being said: DIY Watch Club puts everything neatly into a box, and provides guaranteed support. I have only bought parts from them, and I am sure they are a reputable company.

It is fun and at times frustrating experience but you come out with a watch you can be proud of.

I was given one of their kits for Christmas a year ago. It was fun! No issues with assembly or since.

I used them about a year ago. You can't go wrong with them.

Glad this came up. I have been looking at their diver and wondering the same thing. Thought it could be a fun project.

I’m still new to this hobby I know one day I’ll get to build my own watch. Right now it’s been about modding just having fun.

I too also am looking into purchasing from them, particularly either the Coke GMT or the Batman with the orange GMT hand. I'm really digging their dials.
