SIC my friend's work

Caught up with my friend yest.



I knew he is into modding watches & such, for seikos & other stuffs, well, seiko mods are quite popular within the seiko community hence I asked him to show me his other modded stuffs.



Besides modding Jap watches, he also mod Swiss watches, mainly lolecs & Pams, mods as in creating those 'aged patina' look on the markers. He showed me a GMT yest & it does looked pretty good, nicely done as well.

Wah, the hands is also aged ?

yup, i believe he did the mod for the dial & hands

Wow... I can appreciate the skill and patience involved, but what's the attraction of aged lume?

hahaa, best let the modder explain :mrgreen:

Seen this and another 2 last week at k2....



Nonetheless, all are very well made and took lotsa painstainking efforts....



Though not many will appreciate it or like this route of modding.....

Hi guys!

The modded or vintaged watch is my creation.

I started out just buying n collecting seikos.. Then modding.. Then I felt something was missing.. I needed to feel the power of creation n that's when I started vintaging.



Maybe it's my age.. 40s.. That make vintage watches attractive to me. I feel that there is a certain character in the watch when its finely aged.



I went n do research in a lot of forums n learnt a lots of skills from the friendly guys there ;)



After that it's lots of long hours experimenting n buying parts.. I got as far as luming my watch!



Think there are a few bros also doing this here but it's not a hot thing.



After comparing my creations with the real deals at 2nd shops, I know I have succeeded!! Ha ha

you're wrong bro :twisted:



there are bros here who might try u for luming, it's not easy to find people who does lume jobs locally anymore



anyway, it's good we have different specialists in this forum, from strap makers to modders & now, a bro who knows how to do a lume job.



it's getting better and better as days goes by :D

Ha ha!! Well glad to share my skills ;)

Tks for featuring my creation.. Need to update my tapatalk to be able to post more pics!! Argh!!

Fantastic indeed. Very good work.
