Mod project #1 (8/12/08)

Hi guys,

i decided to post my old mod posts here.

it could be found over in the old SCWF site and i think in the old HWZ SC.

not sure if this could be helpful for bros here in future. so here it is:

This is my first mod attempt back in 8 Dec 2008, when i bitten by the Seiko mod bug.

I picked up this skx diver off the bay. I had doubts on its authenticity after receiving it. The case and caseback looked a little different to my current skx007j, but the movement looked legit compared to the photos of the 7s26 i've seen. It kept good time and since it was cost me less than $50 i wasnt complaining.

I bought some tools and parts from noah and after getting advice (lots of it) from both noah and harold. i set of to work (not before practicing on some replica watch i got from vietnam and reading all the mod info available from scwf).

After about 2.5hrs, this is the finished product. What do you think?

Bezel, chapter ring, dial, hands set - noah

waterproof ballistic nylon strap - dmh

The Seiko diver family at that time...
