Latest mod "Stealth 007"

[martynrb5]

Hi folks,
Here's my latest modded seiko, it's a SKX007 that I got DLC'd by a top guy on another watch forum I use. I am very happy with the watch, just completed this evening.
Here's the parts I got DLC'd
Case, crown and bezel


And here's the completed watch ith the following mods:
DLC'd Case , Crown and Bezel
Yobokies Mercedes style hands with a red second hand
Dagaz Ultra - Mer Bezel Insert
Black Steel bracelet with curved ends






Comments and critisisms welcome

I like it, my only criticism would be that I would try different hands.  Well possibly both dial and hands but the hands mainly.

Fantastic job on the DLC coating, I like it a lot! Like the bezel you chose as well.

I am not a fan of the Mercedes hands either, like Polly. They seem on the skinny side to go with the bold hour markers on the dial. The red seconds hand, coming back in the red on the dial, is a winner again!

Great mod, mate!

Thanks for the comments guys, I see what you mean about the hands, black outlined hands may not have beeen the best choice. I have a few other styles I could play around with. 
I'm a big fan of the skx dial so I'll be leaving it in place, I think I might get black date wheels for it too.
Before I started the watch I had what I thought was a clear idea on how it should look, I had an orange dagaz dial and chapter ring and an orange planet ocean bezel but I totally changed my mind when I saw the case.

I think the dial looks great in the DLC'd case set.
As others noted, the Mercedes hands just don't seem to do the job for the watch.
I like the idea of a subdued watch, larger black framed hands would definitely be a better choice in keeping to your "blackout" theme.
Jake sells black framed skx styled hands on his site. Could be a good balance to the dial.
