That's a sweet little mod. The snk803,5,7,8 series do look good in the dressier cases, and sometimes vice versa.Originally Posted by Jo Hande
SNK803 in a SNK371 case.
Day/date in black.
Seconds hand also black.
And a black "TimeFactors" 18mm leather strap!
Vintage style mod. The bezel insert is brushed steel, really like it.
This is one of the best mods I've seen, reminds me of the BB58-style vintage diverVintage style mod. The bezel insert is brushed steel, really like it.
Cracking mod tbfSent from my VOG-L09 using TZ-UK mobile appVintage style mod. The bezel insert is brushed steel, really like it.
may i ask that how much is it?
SNK803 Case and Calibre (7S26), dial Yobokies, hands SNK369.
And matching strap.
SKX007j pvd mod. Also changed the hands to black but annoys me that the lume doesn’t quite match.
SKX009 Minor mod on this. Never been a fan of the standard bezel so bought a coin edge one and refinished it with a brushed finish.

My Seiko mods. So far.

SNK809 - SNXS Case - Hands from SNK371

I want it David!!It does look great.

Built over quite a while! Case is homage (Merkur) but built exactly to gen spec and size. I have seen a genuine pre owned case but it is too beat up. Crystal is updated sapphire and movement is Seiko NH35 ( keeping time to +2 sec a day). Everything else is OEM, dial, hands, bezel, insert and full bracelet. I love it.....

Excellent! I've not heard of Merkur but looks like good stuff. Well done.

All 3 of these were done by Jack_Hypoxia, check out his work on Instagram.
He's Thai based but his comms are excellent. Completed watches ship quickly via UPS with tracking capability. The Turtle was sent by Jack on Saturday & reached me yesterday.

Oops! Fat Finger Syndrome, I forgot to add this one.
All are NH35 /36 based. The Turtle & the Patek lite are on OEM Seiko straps, the Arabic dial is on an aftermarket President style bracelet..
Impressive ...!
Currently in the shop for more modding...

Nice dial. Is that from Yobokies?Currently in the shop for more modding...
Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Yes, both. I am told the 369 is now out of stock.
The vintage MM has vintage style lume, not very bright but lasting all night. Not my thing so here comes new dial and hands with c1

Yep. I've just received the same 'T' dial from Yobokies. It's a very pleasing design and looks great on yours. Wish they would do it in Super Luminova. Dagaz had a similar one but out of stock. :(
Just Seiko 5's , but fine result!

That is a very elegant mod, I have always liked a different coloured second hand.
SNK807 with Yobokies dial and hands from a SNK369 ...
Very tasty result and quite an improvement!

After a period of modding Seikos I’ve now started using Seiko parts to create some custom builds.
This one uses a Bliger case, NH35, King Turtle dial which I’ve aged and some aged hands and bezel.
I really enjoy wearing this one, it’s super comfy and I think it looks great.
Not sure if ive posted elsewhere but this is one from Marko

A favourite of mine this one started life as a SRP diver, I modded the case so it would accept a NOS/OEM bezel from the MM300 and a shroud and fitted a MM300 dial and hands, in the flesh I think it looks superb.

Seiko SNXS case, SNK809 dial and Cal. Hands from SNK371. Perfect.
Back from the shop: the dressy and the tool.
Dressy isn't finished... the ceramic blue bezel insert did not fit with the top hat chrystal so I put an original insert for the mo.
Have to go shopping now!

Mine is pretty modest in comparison to most here. Wanted to keep it looking close to the original whilst improving on the "Features".
So it's got an NH36A, Clear AR double domed bevel edge sapphire, Lumed flat ceramic bezel and a Strapcode Angus Jubilee.
Life and watches. More than I need less than I want.

That's very nice. The movement is a great upgrade for the watch. You should try a crystal with blue a/r. I think it really adds something.Mine is pretty modest in comparison to most here. Wanted to keep it looking close to the original whilst improving on the "Features".

Thanks, I may do.
Latest mod.
That is seriously nice. Makes me actually want oneSent from my SM-N960F using TZ-UK mobile appLatest mod.
Two SRPA-21-K1
The one on the right I bought from here with the sapphire crystal already fitted but I added a coin edge bezel with a lumed Black ceramic insert.
The one on the left I've just got back from Seiko after having a new movement fitted (running at +1 spd) so today I just fitted the sapphire crystal and added another coin edge bezel with a Blue lumed ceramic insert.
Alignment is spot on on both although it dosn't look like it in the pictures.
Blue Bezel

It came with two Nato's, The original bracelet and dial along with the sailcloth strap that's fitted in the pics,,
HAGWE everyone!!

I have a no date version of this, probably from the same original modder (bought used off this forum), as it came with the same strap as well!I think I only have one modded Seiko, It's one of Harolds 55 fathom dials, I bought it off sales corner on here if I recall correctly!

I'm selling mine, thought can't post in this sales forum yet.
Really enjoyed it over the last 7yrs and it's seen a lot of wrist time. I still can't justify the official reproductions (and probably never will) but it's been good to have something a bit similar for a while.
I think I've decided that the black dial & bezel close the face up a bit much for my tastes so am looking for something a bit more open / brighter to replace it.
Not so much show me your modded Seiko; more like what is it?
I received it in a bundle of part-ex goodies and have done nothing with it so far. I do like it and will start wearing it, so would be grateful if the serial modders on here could tell me a bit about it.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure about the aftermarket dial and hands, but the seiko base here is a seiko 5 snk, the snk809 to be precise since you have a black day wheel and a black date wheelNot so much show me your modded Seiko; more like what is it?
