I hope everyone is well and surviving the lockdowns:B):

Probably like most of you I have been amusing myself.............however I finally got up the courage to mod a couple of watches one of which is an SKX007  I got from Pickled beetroot.

Mods are :

NH36 movement and signed crown

Lucius Atelier -"Great wave off Kanagawa" luminous dial

Ceramic bezel insert

DLW watches -second hand (trident) 

Crystal times - Sapphire AR crystal

Geckota - jubilee bracelet

Stay safe everyone wherever you are :D

Thanks for all the positive feedback, took me some time to get up the courage to take apart a decent watch, having practiced on a couple of DH gate duffs.

WARNING! to anyone doing mods I had everything done perfectly except the day date was not quite aligned...Why? because I had set up the dial for a THREE o'clock stem.:picard:

so I had clipped the wrong dial feet of (it comes with four) and had to reattach them, but it worked out in the end.:mellow:
