namoki x Watch Me Build It

Creator: Shaun of Watch Me Build It

Creator Notes: When I began watchmaking in 2018, I discovered the ‘Lord of the Chapter Rings,’ a legendary watch by the brand with the crown logo. Its younger sibling, the BB58, became famous for resembling an early version of the ultimate dive watch, featuring a large crown without guards.

Namoki asked me to collaborate on a DIY kit to honor this iconic design:
Case: NMK939 with a big crown, slim bezel, and ‘top hat’ sapphire.
Bracelet: Riveted end plates and female links, echoing early dive watches.
Dial and Hands: BB58 dial with gold accents and merc hands, capturing 1950s style.
Bezel Insert: Brushed steel with white indices and a red triangle at 12.

My YouTube channel, ‘Watch Me Build It’ (WMBI), inspired the kit name: The MB-78. Collaborating with Namoki is an honor, and I hope you enjoy this tribute to the iconic dive watch.

Absolutely stunning dress watch

Over all I love what I got. Enjoyed the experience of putting the watch together. Don't like the strap, going to order a bracelet. Going to pick a couple more dials to see which one fits me best. Worth the money. Automatic mechanical watch for little cash.

Excellent Birthday Present

I got this kit for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loved it! He had a great time putting it together and it looks great, very stylish. I would definitely recommend this

QC Issues

Certified noob here. I chose to try a kit just to test the waters. Parts are gorgeous but I was given two different length crown stems: a super short cut one that's too short with bad threading, and a long one that honestly is probably a blank.
Repeating that I'm new but dang, I must've spent additional hours because of just this problem. Very frustrating; not sure this is for everyone. Clearly if you found this website though, perhaps it is so just be prepared to cut your own parts even on "pre-made" kits
