Seiko Mods.

Ooh sometimes I hate Pistonheads.
I now have a mission and a lot of internets research.
I need this watch.

And I will re-create it (probably).

Does anyone have any handy tips or links before I spend all night researching?

Speak to Harold Yobokies or Jake at motor city watch works.

I've dealt with Jake at MCWW, top chap!

I've also bought a number of parts from here, a great range to look through, and although I've never used Yokobies he does come highly recommended.

MCWW have one of my Seikos at present. Looking forward to seeing the result. Not looking forward to the 12-16 week wait!!

Does anyone know what width strap to buy please?
I've ordered the watch from Creation, and am awaiting delivery, on a basic rubber divers strap.
My first nice watch, as a treat to myself for landing a new job.

I really like that, a lot.

Would have the orange changed to red, as a preference but it looks great...

Will be doing some Googling myself now.

Mine takes a 22mm Seiko rubber strap - not sure whether that's the case for all though?

The red bezel insert seems easily available, I'm having trouble finding the exact same orange insert.
If any more avid googlers can find one in stock it would be much appreciated.

10watches are my choice.

Jake there takes a lot of inspiration from past classics and military pieces.

Proper service, quick delivery, and the usual import dodgery from Eastern sellers.

From what I gather the cool orange 60 XW bezel insert was sold by Noah Fuller who sadly passed away a few years ago.
