Modded SKX007!

Recommended Posts

Sunny Puddi

Hey all,

 

Wanted to see what all this Seiko fuss was about, so decided to pick up an SKX007 from Creation watches. Love the clean look and the lume on this, but wanted to make it my own so decided to personalize it a little.

 

Swapped out the rubber strap for a Strapcode Oyster Bracelet and popped the bezel and swapped it for a Murphy Bezel. Pretty pleased with the result!

I like the new look. With the clean Murphy bezel, looks a bit like an Explorer.

How big a job was it too change the bezel and do you have a link to where it was purchased?

I just popped the original bezel with a knife and then pushed the Murphy bezel down. It did take quite a lot of force, but got their eventually. The site link is this one i believe http://www.murphymanufacturing.com/seiko_bezel_2010.html

That is pretty slick.

Also creation watches has some pretty deep deals on some pretty nice watches.

 

I just joined the Seiko club. Thanks for the heads up.

That thing looks bloody fantastic mate. In all seriousness, I think this may have the Explorer beat. When you throw price into the mix it wins hands down.

 

Nice work, love my 007!

Ordered mine from Creation. I hold you entirely responsible for this.

 

And none of the rep issues to look forward to. Perhaps I'm a gen man and not such a rep man.......
