    Ok, I just cannot get on without a second hand - just love watching it sweep around the dial.

    Got to agree......it looks better with the second hand on!
    Nice dial swap BTW. Like it a lot!

    Liking that one a lot... not sure about the rotation of the case with the crown at 11. Hands and dial are a winner though :D

    really really nice mod!!!

    Hows the lume on that dial?

    and do you know if that dial would fit a 6105 case?

    I ruined my all original 6105-8110 when talking a bath in a hottub in egypt after walking in the desert for a week...

    Cheers,
    Gregor

    Re: B&R inspired Montster mod - Minimal Lefty

    The dial's lume is pretty much...poor (when compared to standard Monster's radioactive mega-glow).

    No clue about fitting in other watches. Go check with 10watches.com.

    i agree better with second hand, if you are going to make a lefty i woud look better on the right wrist IMHO.

    That's a great effort. Might have a bash at something similar myself this weeked. And I am in the no second hand camp. Have enough watches with a sweep... something a bit different would be good!

    One of the better mods I have seen on this model...very nice indeed - don't put the second hand back on.

    Yes I like it very much, perhaps with an orange/red minute hand and a second hand IMO. Can you not increase the lume?

    That dial and especially the hands are lovely. I prefer a watch with seconds hand too, though not sure about that particular one personally.

    Nice Dial ... here's what I did with that Dial

    My dial maker had a mix up they set my 7s26 dials for the 7002 fitting well it was good luck
    Now I can put 7s26 movements in the 7002 cases, a nice upgrade since the 7002's movements are not the best Seiko has come out with ...
