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.
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.

Modded SKX007
And on a Martu leather strap.
And how it got that way.............https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...reck-or-repair
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Here's another modded Seiko..
:P
SRP773 with aftermarket bezel and insert
Here is mine, sadly not getting worn at the moment...
A brace of Seiko mods - different sets MCWW hands and Bezel and Harold's hands on the Turtle PADI.

Seiko orange Sumo with a ceramic bezel insert and sapphire crystal.
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.

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.

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

One of my favorite mods and the costliest using all OEM spares apart from my shroud.
NH36 movement in it too. Great watch!

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.

Excellent thread. Some terrific results here!
I ended up with this one - not sure if I updated the thread with my choice

It's based on the Solar Tuna - there's a bit more more info in this thread... Seiko Solar Tuna Mod

Vintage style mod. The bezel insert is brushed steel, really like it.
Built over quite a while! Case is homage (Merkur) but built exactly to gen spec and size. I have seen a genuine pre owned case but it is too beat up. Crystal is updated sapphire and movement is Seiko NH35 ( keeping time to +2 sec a day). Everything else is OEM, dial, hands, bezel, insert and full bracelet. I love it.....
