Seiko Comex?

Recommended Posts

So I saw these watches offered on ebay for $3-500 and wondered WTF?  They never made these.  But I had found some NH35 cases with sapphire crystals and the dials were on Ali.  So I put one together.

eh, shiny dial, cyclops, just kinda cheap and blah.

So I thought I could do better.  So I relumed the dial and hands and matte sprayed them to knock the shiny off.  Popped the cyclops off and relumed and epoxied the pearl.  Faded the insert.   Now I think I can wear it.

Speaking of weirdo Seiko mods from Asia, this is my favourite.

Intresting

Wow.  :)   nice work as usual.    English can be so difficult to grasp for different cultures.   I think it was meant to spell COMIX  and not COMEX.
