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.

NMK-WK21 DIY Watchmaking Kit: "MB-78" by Watch Me Build It

I received this kit today and look forward to building it one day next week. However, I am a bit sceptical as I never received any building instructions. This could have helped massively as this will be my first watch, which I am attempting to build.

Easy to build and great looking

I really enjoyed building the watch with my partner. The provided instructions give you the gist of how to put it together, but as a complete watch beginner I needed a bit more guidance. I found some more detailed YouTube videos that helped us put it together and now we have a beautiful statement piece.

Gift

Gave as a gift. Friend enjoyed it and looks pretty good. Packaging and presentation could be a little nicer. It all came tossed in a bubble envelope.
