Modded Seiko's

[Bob_Defly]

Does anyone on here mod their own watches?

And if you have a modded one (bought used or commissioned) post pics below.

I have put together a fair few based around the NH movements. However, other than the movement, nothing else is Seiko. Only Seiko I have modded is this one (now sold due to lack of wear):

After market hands (kindly sold to me from someone on this forum)
Sapphire Crystal
Rubber Strap
I also swapped out the shake to wind movement to the hand winding NH36.

Had this a while.

I bought it as it is now.

Both good looking watches.

This is my custom build Seiko Arctic SKX from Ben at Custom Seiko, arrived in January 2021 as shown.

Spec:-
S/S SKX case with plain SS back and SS 'S' signed crown with red painted ‘S’
S/S submariner style bezel with lumed black ceramic bezel insert and engraved markings.
Blue tinted AR flat sapphire crystal.
Seiko NH36A movement modified to remove day wheel position.
White Sumo style dial with date window frame.
Black / red chapter ring.
MM300 style black hands with red 'stop light' on second hand.
SKX007 Jubilee Bracelet and rubber waffle strap.

NH35 movement, everything else is aftermarket

Cannot find a white rubber strap to fit the 'SKX' case anywhere

This terrible picture shows my custom Seiko.

It’s an SKX-009 so has the very slightly blue strap and face.

I selected the upgrades, bought most direct and Zander at Jarrott Watches put it together (and swapped some wrong parts I’d bought).

It has:
- Knurled bezel and crown.
- Dark Knight bezel insert.
- upgrade movement (I forget which).
- a slimmer case back.
- the hands are unique, at least in combination - pink for my partner, purple for my son and orange for me.

I’ve barely taken it off.

Here’s mine. One of my favourites.
