Namoki’s BB 58 case and bracelet combo are unmatched. For a beginner or an expert at watch building, the case comes with the sapphire and bezel installed which is beyond valuable. I’ve purchased two of these and highly recommend. You can build similar to a homage style or get creative and. Different dial, hands, and bezel insert. Pro tip, use their 15% off bundle offer and add the case plus bracelet, choose a dial and hands. Worth every penny.
Always amazing when Namoki comes out with a new style. The engineer case and bracelet are amazing. I will note the case and bracelet are quite chunky and have weight to it. Otherwise, I love the watch.
Not to get off topic, but their Naut MK2 case is outstanding and quite possibly my favorite watch to wear. Unfortunately, this bracelet was out of stock when I first built my watch where I subsequently purchased this bracelet. I swapped it out and have used it many times since, and it is not only shiny and beautiful, but lightweight, thin and comfortable. Highly recommend for the Naut case, although the oyster bracelet is fantastic too.
All of Namoki’s bezel inserts are great. . The root beer is beautiful, only wish they had a 24 hour sub version. They do offer a 24 hour BB version.
Do not check out without purchasing at least one pack of tile dots. If anything buy two orders, these are beyond essential can be used for much more than securing a dial
I don’t think there are many other tweezers. You will need to build a watch when using built movements like NH series
I used an NH movement holder from a non watch mod source where the movement was loose and always slid around. Although it was half of the price, the Namoki movement holder fits snug and makes installing dials and hands 10 times easier. I highly recommend spending the little extra money to buy a quality movement holder as it will save your time, energy, and stress in the future.
I got this case send to me for free after the glass of my purchased case was broken after a few weeks or so, customer service offered it to me after i sent a question about getting a new glass for it.
I love the vintage design, and bezel operation with the dual crown is smooth. The markers have a bit more of a green hue than I expected from the images, so that's one thing to be aware of if you're trying to match dial lume to the bezel.
Great case, no issues building the watch. 2 comments - and why this is a 4 not a 5:
- the colour of the numbers/markers of the internal bezel appears white in the website photos, but is more of a cream/‘fauxtina’ colour in reality - which was not a 100% match with the white numerals on the (black) Namokimods dial I bought
- the case back is stainless steel colour not black. I had asked what colour it was but the answer came about a week after I placed the order.
New to collecting and modding. Namoki is making some really nice stuff in my humble opinion. Changed the dial on an old 7S26 a friend gave me. I really liked the pilots watch look. Added the black baton hands and cut the hour down to fit just right with the inner hour markings.
Really like the dial, the finishing is nicely done, the texture is awesome and the lume as always packs a punch with Namoki.
Used in the engineer case for a nice blend of genta inspired designs.

Really awesome case, wonderful proportions and fits comfortably on the wrist. Not keen on a butterfly clasp, but for aesthetic sake it makes sense and creates a nice seamless look. Finishing is well done all over.

I purchased this since I’m getting a bit more seriemord about modding and fixing Seiko watches. Specifically to mend one that belongs to a friend. I didn’t want to mess around on an unstable surface and this really got the job done!
