Reply With QuoteA nice writeup. But I'd advice against using a toothpick. Fibers may fall off and enter the movement. Use a plastic pin instead. And use a blower to get rid of the dust. Never blow with the mouth.
Found this brilliant guide which I think will be useful to everyone interested in learning to mod Seiko's:

What an interesting piece, do fancy going down the modding route :mrgreen:
That was excellent, thanks for sharing
Very interesting :)
ish
That was very informative and well explained. Couple of the photos could have been better lit but hey, who am I to complain. Thanks for the post. Got me thinking again about modding and the SKX's are too pricy as a start point. Judging by some of the end results you can really get something special without breaking the bank
Thanks for the link, great and inspiring guide!
Would be cool to at some point wear a watch you've "made" yourself.
Great post, really explained some of the black art clearly.
Fancy trying that at some stage.
A great thread. Makes it all look achievable with the right gear -- the only part that worries me is fitting the hands. I guess that it is very easy to damage the pinion at this point?
Very interesting!
Thanks, love to read the post.Keep it comming :wink:
Great guide , thanks
Thanks for the link, always wanted to mod a watch but never been sure where to start, looks like a good guide!
interesting read, thanks for the link :)
That is very tempting. Looks like it also requires the purchase of a lot of cool tools.
Does anyone know where the dial and hands were sourced from? I really fancy having a flieger look watch and would quite like to have a go at this.
Good post though, very thorough for a stills post. I especially like the information for changing the date position.
Ewsy
I think yobokies has Sinn Flieger Style mods and parts
He does some very nice ones but they seem to be in short supply at the moment. I have messaged him and had a reply. See my post in the watch talk forum.

Still, it's a waiting game for the right bits. I only hope that someone else with the capability can spot this gap in the market.

Excellent link! Thanks!.... Straight to the bookmarks, off it went... :mrgreen:
Great link, thanks.
I'd love to see something like this done in a video on youtube. But this is already very useful.
Thanks for posting. This is really useful as I am contemplating my first tentative step into modding a watch and the SKX007 is crying out to be the one. Thanks again
