My mods so far

[martynrb5]

Hello,
I couldn't decide if I should put a thread of my modified watches in here or in the gallery section, moderators please fell free to move it if I'm in the wrong place
I've only been modifying seiko divers for a few months but I've really been enjoying myself with it and I thought I'd share some of my watches with you guys, they may not all be to your taste, I keep chopping and changing them too. I'm still learning the craft haha.
Anyway, here's my watches, I'll keep adding to this thread as my collection increases.
First up is a watch that I did not do myself but it is the watch that started my obsession with modifying so it's definitely worth a mention and it is one of my favourites.

Very simple mods, a SKX007 with just a planet ocean bezel and a leather strap.

Next is my first attempt at modding.
It's a SKX007 with a green sub bezel insert, plonguer hands and a silver chapter ring, all Yobokies parts.



And another of my favourites, a SKX011 with orange planet ocean bezel and tan leather nato strap.


Here's another SKX007, this time with a Dagaz Aqua-dot Dial, Soxa Bezel insert and aftermarket hands and a shark mesh bracelet.


I wasn't that happy with finished watch so I changed a few bits on it.

I think the new hands suit the dial much better.

Next up is a 6309-729a I modified with a Dagaz dial, a blank bezel insert and plongeur hands



And finally a 7002 with ceramic GMT bezel insert and blue dial / chapter ring on a shark mesh bracelet.
I did this one because I really liked the colour combination.



Thats all for now
I have a few more projects on the go at the moment, a FFF homage, a Doxa tribute and a DLC'd 007 which I will post once they are finished.
Coments and criticisms very welcome!

Martyn,

Here's a wee update, I've been working on a few more watches recently.
This is my work watch, its an old 7002 fitted with a Yobokies PO bezel insert and a comfy rubber strap with orange stitching.


Here's a FFF tribute I made with an SKX031, I'm still looking for a suitable bezel insert but the original one suits it quite well in my opinion.



This is my DLC coated SKX007



This is a Doxa tribute SKX 007 fitted with a slightly domed crystal.



And here is a 7002 with some yellow bits.


I've got a few other watches in various states of completion that I'll post here once they're done.
Thanks for looking!

Damn it man! Every time I go to write a post you add watches, slow down I cant keep up!

As Pete says you have/are a busy lad, aren't you! Great tread mate, really good work.

I like the SKX011 a lot (I got one a few weeks ago) & never thought about a planet ocean insert, but you may have lead me astray on that you bad lad!! 

I really like the one you understate as a "7002 with a few yellow bits" thunbsup.gif
