Finchoz 14 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) A collection of some of my Seiko mod builds: SRPD76k rose gold yachtmaster - I first built one of these for myself (the one pictured) but soon traded it + cash for the Sinn 104. Since then though I have built at least 3 identical builds for customers (Iexcept I used rose gold merc hands for those) - they are proving popular, and everyone seems to love what I've been able to do with the rose gold deployant clasp with the monster rubber strap combo. Gives it a much more well put together finish than a tang buckle I think. SKX007 K "BB58 two tone" - bought this as a wrecked SKX, I think it is a 1998 model. It was a mess. Highly polished case (again, it was a mess), gold sub bezel, gold/red black bay 58 style ceramic insert, original dial with patina, new NH36 movement, signed red S crown, gold merc hands, black leather croc strap with polished silver deployant clasp. This was my first SKX & first mod build so have kind of a sentimental attachment to it, but I just love the combo. It has a bit of a bad ass look to it. But I recently sold it along with another rose gold yachtmaster build, so once the yachty is finished they will both be gone. SKX007 J2 "Batman" - bought this as a brand new 2019 SKX J2, did the hands, chapter ring, bezel, lumed bezel insert, double domed blue AR sapphire. This is still in my collection and is worn often, kind of a beater. Can't see myself offloading this any time soon. I love everything except the jingly Seiko Jubilee bracelet that feels like it's made from a Coke can, but it looks good. Seiko(kinda) Yachtmaster Rhodium homage - built this for a customer. Uses a chinese generic submariner case, NH36, yachtmaster steel bezel insert, sunburst grey Seiko dial, customer requested grand seiko style hands with the blue second hand. Turned out really good. The chinese rolex style cases and bracelets are actually exceptionally good for the price. I'm currently building a similar watch but with a sunburst black Seiko dial, silver merc hands, a black yachtmaster ceramic insert, and a generic oysterflex-style rubber strap with an unbranded oyster clasp. Plus a bunch of other SKX and SRPD mods that I forgot to photograph... Edited November 6, 2020 by Finchoz 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intresting 21,691 Posted November 6, 2020 Wow. Nice pieces. Which part of our fine country are you located? Strapcode can fix the bad Seiko bracelets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunny Queensland, and you? Yeah I know, but I kinda like the signed Seiko clasp... Maybe one day I'll mod something up the way I want it. I might also try it on a curved end rubber bracelet with an oyster style clasp, if I can ever find one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill_C 148 Posted November 6, 2020 Those came out really nice! I've been dabbling in SKX mods a bit lately as well. Nothing that cool though. Yours are really well executed. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West34th 6 Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Thanks for sharing! The world of modding Seiko has really interested me lately and I've joined a FB community dedicated to it. I must say your gold Yachtmaster is about as good as I've seen. Edited April 28, 2021 by West34th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
