Show your modded seiko

[Sweepinghand]

Ive looked on ebay recently at modified seikos - not really sure what um looking at - as no expert on them at all - but they look kinda cool for the money

I always like a bracelet on my watches - so - fire away fellas give me some inspiration of what is out there.

[Wallasey Runner]

Some of the Fifty Five Fathoms modifications are great, but only buy if you intend to keep. Flipping is difficult and usually leads to a loss.

SRPA19K bezel on SRP779,



Wear it on the stock rubber,



Also works on SC Super Jubilee,

Modded SKX007



And on a Martu leather strap.



And how it got that way.............https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...reck-or-repair

I think that works very well.

That's the kind of mod I really like. Stainless steel bezels just lift the watch hugely .. the only modded Seiko I currently have, which is just a simple lume mod:

Here's my modded SKX007. Just put on a flat sapphire without the beveled top edge. Also has a lumed 12hr bezel insert, strapcode jubilee, and 6R15 movement.

All modified. All running Seiko movements.

Nice selection, are the Willard style cases based on a Steeldive or similar? Or genuine Seiko case?

The Willard case model is similar to a Steeldive. I need to check as the insert is different, and the bezel assembly is better.

It has been upgraded with a signed lock crown and thick sapphire. I've recently regulated it to +2 seconds a day.

[Kaffe]

NH36 movement, new hands, blue AR flat crystal, luminous ceramic bezel insert, strapcode oyster bracelet. A great first project and planning on another soon. Just waiting for parts to arrive.



It was originally an SKX009, which looked great, but is now more pleasing to my eye and the hacking movement is nicer for me.

I really like what you have managed on the Willard and the 8000. I contemplated having one built with new parts if I could as I love the model, but can’t afford a good original one.

Appreciated Neil.

It will certainly save you cash for probably the same quality.

Got to say these look amazing. Are the MMs or MM200?

The original Seiko SLA025 is on the right. I don't know if the modded watch on the left has a MM200 or MM300 case. The original has the separate chapter ring. The modded watch has the chapter ring on the actual dial. It does look great though.

One of the great ironies of this hobby is that a lot of Seikos are modded to look like Rolexes.

Some may but that's not for me.

Nice.

When using aftermarket dials does the lume suffer a bit? I know Seiko are renowned for having decent lume.

[TheTigerUK]

One of my favorite mods and the costliest using all OEM spares apart from my shroud.

It’s works so well! Stunning!!

Is it possible to fix one of those SKX shrouds to a MM300? I’m assuming not if you went to the expense of buying all those bits and bobs.

This isn’t helping my current tuna fetish! ����

It really depends where you source the aftermarket dials from. New sources are producing dials with excellent lume, although probably still not as strong as Seiko’s Lumibright. I’ll get some Lume shots of mine for you, so you can have a look.

Here's my modded Seiko.... 6309-7290:

I am not normally one for modded watches but I have looked at The Tiger UK's TST's and they do look lovely. So I fished out a slightly sorry looking 6309-7290 out of my drawer and sent it to Tiger John for TST conversion. I asked him to drill the lugs, but don't sterilise the caseback, I didn't want to lose the watch's original identity.

Then I sent it to Duncan (The Watch Bloke) for full movement service, but no good ideas about which dial and hands to use. Duncan suggested why not go down the all genuine Seiko route? An excellent idea, so I bought an NOS 7C46-7008 Golden Tuna dial, a set of SBDX012 Limited Edition gold hands, and an NOS 6159-7001 sweep second hand, finished off with an SKX011 bezel and 6105 crystal.

So here it is looking lovely, a 6309-7290 TST assembled using only genuine Seiko parts:

I'm not normally in to gilt dials, hands and bezels but that does look rather nice.
