Perhaps my last Sumo mod as I can't think of another color dial watch that I want. Super clean and ready for summer, a while dialed Sumo. White dials by Seiko are hard to come by, and even harder without the 5 Badge on it but this one is a little special, almost unicorn. The parts are as follows;
Like my yellow mod I kept the 6r15c movement but purchased a 7s26c movement so that I could perform the day wheel upgrade. I figured buying a movement would be faster than trying to hunt down parts. I brushed the chapter ring to match the insert as they come polished and just drew too much attention to itself. I went through 3 different hand sets before I settled on the silver, any hands with black on them were too distracting to me. I wish the lume was a 100% match, but that's just due to the changes Seiko has made over the years.
