Sakurai 1 Posted August 28, 2013 I didn't quite agree with the bracelet on my SNZH53, but luckily it seems to agree with some Breitling leather while waiting for its own waterproof leather strap. Amazing bang for the buck, especially with Amazon UK's 20% discount (thanks Pharmo!). Compared to what I wear the most it's a little bit on the small side, but very nice nonetheless. Very intrigued about the FFF mod, just have to build some courage (or recklessness). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pharmo 33 Posted August 28, 2013 The brown leather strap and the blue looks stunning mate... wear it well my friend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ianp 0 Posted August 29, 2013 I'm in the same boat. Didn't really like the bracelet on mine so have ordered a brown leather and cheap rubber strap. Am also tempted to get a Brady Sailcloth strap which should go with the FFF mod. If I ever get the courage to tackle it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 29, 2013 My '53 is still in its original box unworn. FFF dial arrived today - all I need now is the time to do the mod (and to order a sailcloth strap for it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you post a link to where you got the dial from please? I can only find Yokobies photobucket site. Would love to see the end result of your mod. Hope it goes well for you. I know there are couple of threads on different forums on how to do this but another from a trusted expert wouldn't hurt!. As for the Brady, I'm thinking the black strap with blue stitching. Then again, the blue with white would also be snazzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno when I'm gonna find time to do the mod, but I will report back as soon as I have! As for straps - I'm thinking blue sailcloth for mine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ianp 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks for the link. This was the best tutorial I could find. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/replacing-seiko-snzh53k1-94590.html Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakurai 1 Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks guys! About the FFF mod, I have a blue dial and some other stuff incoming from Dagaz, but when I wear it now with the Seiko dial it feels a little bit a shame to replace it... (Or maybe I'm just afraid to mess it up.) Lots of cool mods to be done on the Seikos - browsing Dagaz webstore the other night was great fun. Looking fwd to pics and report from when you do the FFF mod Greg! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
