Anyone here knows where to mod my seiko Baby Tuna?
Hi Bros, this is my first (virginal) post. I love my Seikos ever since I had my first at 13 yrs old. I just bought a baby tuna and also an ss shroud from yobokies which I'll match with a black nato strap. However....the hands are not the prettiest, if you know what I mean! Now I am wondering if anyone knows anyone who can put new hands? I've seen videos on how to do it..looks deceivingly easy but I'll definitely f%&k it up for sure as it takes great skill. Anyone would like to save a fellow Seiko lover here? I live in Woodlands. Thanks in advance guys!

unless you're an experienced modder urself else I would recommend you to bring it to a competent watchmaker to have the hands switched.

Hi Lunarin, thats sound advice alright. Most watch shop owners I go to just give me a balnk look. I was hoping if anyone has any watchmakers they can intro? Thanks!

Hi Lunarin- that'ssound advice, I'll never touch the insides of a watch. Can anyone intro a watchmaker than can do this? Most shop owners just give me a blank look.

Look up the K2 thread for address, K2 is a shop with a watchmaker that can perform mods that you have in mind.

Mr Goh(K2) will just charge a small fee for a simple mod.

Well...I always wanted a tuna can but the prices were just too damn high. Not a problem...just got myself a sardine instead! It's better than no can if you ask me..

Extremely subjective. A seiko is just another seiko to many. And to the uninitiated, it will always remain that way. Not a matter of right or wrong but personal preference added to the interest in a soul of a watch. And a world of difference comparing an 8L movement period to the R or S movements. IMO.
