Wow, this thread is very poisonous. Nvr expected so much enthusiasm for Fff mod here. May I ask have anyone has the older printed Arabic Numeral Fifty fathom dial (below) ? Wanna trade with a shimmering charcoal modern raised numerals Fff dial ?

Re: Seiko SG FFF Guild 2014
Nice mods.. I have the snzh57 and likes the Fff dial with the numbers. I see that only Dagaz has it but with silver indices. Where do I get one with gold indices or one without? Thx

Re: Seiko SG FFF Guild 2014
I used to have the Blancpain fifty fathoms, and I truly prefer the (unmodded) seiko version. Personal preference though. I have neither right now :(

Too much ff mod poison going around.. Sudden resurgence of ff mod / snzh5x interest on HWZ also...I must resist...

I am thinking of the FFF dial with the new midnight blue bb bezel insert... wondering how well both goes together.

This version looks very nice, every part blends nicely as if it's an original model from the manufacturer.

Its a great article...



normally here is how we go about it.



email yobokies to enquire about the FFF parts and he will give you a link on a forum showing the parts and price.



you can paypal him with the parts u need.



or



you can go to 10watches.com and buy on this website from dagaz.



Both are thru paypal but only yobokies is having the blancpan style hands, lume bezel and FFF caseback.



once the parts arrives, you can go to K2 and get the seiko snzh from Mr Goh. He will charge a small fee to mod it for you.

Re: Seiko SG FFF Guild 2014
Cost should be quite ok if u just change the dial first only. The other parts can do it in second phase.

I see HWZ ppl mainly only change the dial.

Re: Seiko SG FFF Guild 2014
you could also mod it to the way u wanted. imo the dial is the fundamental way to start off. if you have more $$$ to spend later on, you can change the crystal, hands, caseback and the strap.



my fff dial and red second hand should arrive this wk! :D

Re: Seiko SG FFF Guild 2014
Yup this is the link yobokies gave me on the FFF parts too. Yobokies have the red tip second hand, i rem is adding 2usd more for the hands set.

Both dagaz and harold are good. No issues with them so far.

Emailed Harold and and this is the webbie.

If get all is US214 + $160 base watch = $430



Also, any suggestions from 10watches also as I see there are peeps here using the red line seconds hand which is nice.



How is quality btw 10watches and Harold?



Cheers.

Bought from both dagaz and Harold before. IMO quality wise the hands and dials are similar so I mix and match. But I do feel that dagaz is faster with their shipping and the way they pack is better compared to Harold, more professional perhaps?

this is the dial that i ordered. reason why i choose this is due to the date position at 4.30. http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/products/show/244957"http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1854182" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1854182" false;



still contemplating on bradystrap. there are many choices with different colour stitchings. the quality is very good. I have one on my snzh57. but the delivery takes very long.



hope to see your fff soon!

Re: Seiko SG FFF Guild 2014
Just wondering.



IF most parts are from harold, might as well ask him to ship with a pre-mod FFF. Could be cheaper?

Nvr tried buying direct from harold. But got a feel the price might be higher... haha

The spirit of modding is the "process" and not the "final product". Just wait and see, you'll know what I mean. :)

PVD with scuffs and scratches will give that rugged manly look. Trust me, good watches are meant to be worn. Especially good looking ones. :)

I used to have a FF with a sapphire crystal.



http://forums.seikoclubsg.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=932" false;

Agree with your review.



If one will like to upgrade to sapphire for scratch resistance, I will suggest waiting for 10watches sale.



Got mine for 30 usd instead of the original 50 usd. Otherwise can give it a missed.
