Modified SKX

[Dolf Stoppard]

Just picked this up. Ceramic bezel, gold hands and domed sapphire with blue AR. Jangly bracelet to be replaced with a strapcode Super Jubilee.

That looks really nice. Am about to change the hands on mine. Once the hand remover tool arrives. First one was lost in the post!

This is my second SKX in a month. Seriously considering getting a third - or probably something else with the same movement, and having a go at modding myself. But changing hands - that scares me!

Looks nice, care to share the total cost?

£319 off eBay. I was tempted to buy a stock watch and commission some mods, but I just really liked this combo. When you look at the price of the parts and a standard watch I think it's pretty reasonable. The seller had great feedback and was happy to have a chat about watches in general before I did the deal.

Got a few modified Seikos myself:

Nice colllection. You're clearly quite keen on Seiko watches!

I've definitely caught the Seiko bug though. Seriously considering swapping one of my Rolexes for a Grand Seiko Snowflake. That second hand...
