Discussion
These should invoke some opinions

I actually really like some of these.
Some of them will probably upset the purists, but at least they aren't fakes.
Anyone bought one?

All the parts can be bought from AliX. Why not give it a go putting one together, its great fun!
I haven't built one for ages but I got all the parts to make another custom 'SUB'... if I get a spare evening, may give it a go and flog it here!

Interesting. Do you have any photos of your handiwork? I haven't built one for ages but I got all the parts to make another custom 'SUB'... if I get a spare evening, may give it a go and flog it here!

I've seen a few of these shops popping up, they charge astronomical prices for something you could build for less than a 1/4 of the price. I regularly build and modify Seikos or watches with Seiko movements, I'd recommend anyone has a go as its really good fun.
My current stable has these 3 mods in:

Those look great, I wouldn't know where to start and have massive sausage fingers so I'm not sure it's the right hobby for me My current stable has these 3 mods in:
I don't mind them and class them as a bit of fun.
My only issue is, as others have said, is that they aren't a Seiko. They are a fake Seiko, and it makes no sense to have the Seiko logo on them or to call them a Seiko.
Even some of the models that are sold ready built and claim to have an NH35 movement inside them, actually don't. It is often a Chinese copy of the NH35.

Thanks, I have sold a fair few over the years. Keep thinking I should turn it into a little side hustle. Undercut the crazy expensive sellers and just do it for some beer money.
I actually have a seiko that needs a new movement and crystal, what kind of money would you be talking to throw in an nh35 and a sapphire glass? blue_haddock said:

Presuming its an SKX007/009 and depending on which crystal and crown you would like its probably £150 in total.When switching from an 7s26 to an NH35/6 you have to change the crown and stem. I like to use parts from Namoki mods which are miles ahead in quality compared to the crap on Aliexpress.

If you can do me one of these then I'm very much listening... 
They stopped making the base model though, pushing prices up.

How much does it cost to build a mod and where do I get started?
Depends really on how far you want to go. This is a good resource - https://www.namokimods.com/blogs/namokitimes/watch...MrBig said:
Easy 
although I wouldn't be building anything with Airking or Seiko on the dial (Unless it was a genuine Seiko dial). Have seen lots of watches get pulled on eBay for trademark infringements.

If you wished to sell on PH there is a 'Watches for sale' thread. You wouldn't have to sell via eBay. although I wouldn't be building anything with Airking or Seiko on the dial (Unless it was a genuine Seiko dial). Have seen lots of watches get pulled on eBay for trademark infringements.
