While I was working on these Seiko SKX project I found a combination that I really liked a lot, more then anything else almost. This consisted in the regular SKX diver dials with some pilot type hands. These watches below are the results.
I used the SKX173 dial on the SKX171 watch because I like it better and because the lume is much brighter. It is also more appropriate in my opinion, for the aero type look of these watches. Anyway, some simple projects I like to share.
Seiko SKX009 Navy - Seiko SKX009 watch with Seiko SRP513 hands.
Seiko SKX171/173 Navy - Seiko SKX171 with SKX173 dial and Seiko SRP165 hands.
Seiko SKX007 Navy - Seiko SKX007 with Seiko SRP165 hands and aftermarket bezel insert.

. The only thing I don't like so much is the SKX seconds hand. Whats the point of having the lume on the wrong end? Minor rant aside, maybe a black with white tip Stargate hand would finish it off...
