I will stick to the original method, I got used to it. However, it's nice to have tools that can help you with the build. Save times. Personally, I think practice makes perfect, in case if you have to work on a watch without the convenience tools, you can deal with it. I know the second-hand is suck to install, but once you get the hang of it, it's very much normal. The key is to not spend too much money on tools that you will lightly need in the future. Most of the time, the convenience tools are hard to resale if you have to resale those. But tools like hand installers will fly with the right price. I know I sound very negative, but I speak from my experiences. I am again, sorry if I make you feel uncomfortable. But I thought I just wanted to share my thoughts and experiences that I acquired throughout years of doing this.

It’s up to you.
that said, it’s always better to acquire the skill yourself without a crutch. this will only work for NH movements

@Karbon74 if you are looking for nh35 rolex dials maybe I can help

Setting hands with rosico btw can cause dirt. I got tweezers with wooden tip, works perfectly.

I emailed Raffles 2 times inquiring for the NH35 Rolex dials , they never responded.

Because it does not exist
You need to cut the dial feet and then use adhesive to hold the dial

But does the date window match up with the NH35 or do you need an overlay?

@2005 Seadweller, good work, my friend. now that you have experience, have fun modding/building. But again, try not to spend too much money on it. Enjoy, good luck, and have fun!
