Hello,

I’m thinking about purchasing 3 kits for me and my two sons for Christmas. I’d like to do a custom face for each of us and also give them the option to dress things up a bit with a metal band. My questions are:

  1. Is the DWC D01 Matt Black Custom Watch Dial (Japan C3) for Seiko NH35 compatible with the [Modding Starter Combo] DIY Kit Bundle | 42mm Dive GMT Coke, Pespi, and Silver steel Bezel | Seiko Automatic GMT movement | DWC-D03?

  2. Is the DIY Watch Club Stainless Steel Bracelet [For 42mm DIVE WATCH ONLY] - With Endlink 22mm compatible with the [Modding Starter Combo] DIY Kit Bundle | 42mm Dive GMT Coke, Pespi, and Silver steel Bezel | Seiko Automatic GMT movement | DWC-D03?

Only the second link in this message works.

However, dials for non-GMT watches don’t normally fit on GMT movements. The GMT hand adds a fourth pinion which is wider, so unless the center dial hole is wide enough, it’ll rub or stick. You can fix this yourself by manually drilling the hole wider.

Can’t speak to the bracelet. Whatever the product description says, I guess. I would assume a 42mm steel ‘for dive watch only’ would work on the 42mm dive watch though.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be sure to pay attention to the center dial hole before assembling.
