cvp3 2,103 Posted January 9, 2019 Looking good Rich. I found that limited edition Citizen out of Singapore for $189. Cheapest eBay seller is $246. I looked at all 3 variants. Hard to choose. Got another SKX013 today and the SKX009 yesterday for modding. But my favorite of all..... SEIKO SRPC41j1 Prospex PADI mini-turtle There are simply no pictures that do this watch justice.....especially not mine. What a watch. I strangely want to put it on a bracelet. Can't explain why...makes not sense for this diver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,746 Posted January 9, 2019 Nice, but I could never wear something that had PADI on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I strangely want to put it on a bracelet You go for the bracelet sister! Would look excellent and I mean that most sincerely folks.I feel I have to caveat your purchasing with an intervention style statement ..... ‘you gotta freakin’ problem my friend and as soon as you’re ready to ask for help and admit you’re powerless over watches and that your horology has become unmanageable, then rooms of Watch Anonymous are there for you’.

cvp3 2,103 Posted January 9, 2019 LOL. All good and thanks for the support-group comments. So far I’ve been able to buy/sell without penalty overall, so the net cost to date equals the value of the inventory I own. It may not always be, but today that’s true.

cvp3 2,103 Posted January 10, 2019 Shipped Tuesday, arrived today, Thursday. Gotta love a seller in the Philippines that uses FedEx. No surprises........unless you're surprised by sellers doing what they say they will. I'm seriously in danger of ordering 15 of these buggers. First of all.....I LOVE FREE tupperware! Great way to ship! To recap: All cleaned and regulated. All cases and crystals buffed and they show it. On the modded versions - New dial, chapter ring, new hands (all 3), new bezel insert and new crowns. Already ordered a new bracelet for the black monster, just need to get it mounted.

cvp3 2,103 Posted January 11, 2019 A little cap cod, stripped off the black paint on the bezel and a new bracelet. Yup, definitely feels better on the bracelet. Feels very similar to the Panerai Luminor bracelet. $44 on Walmart.com and well worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deu2ce 0 Posted January 11, 2019 Hi guys, new here. But in the Seiko modding game for a year already. SKX031/33 is one of my favorite Seikos. Still don't understand why they stop producing this. Aside from the wide 22mm lugs, this fits me nicely. My SKX033 with custom sea snake skin straps. 20-ish years old and fourth owner but yet unopened case Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
