This is my work watch, and I've been tweaking it a bit.
From a standard Seiko skx171
To the more toolish looking version with a 007 bezel with a steel bezel insert
To it's current state with a ceramic bezel insert that arrived today. The fit isn't perfect, as it has a slight slant, but I almost prefer it with a slant. +It will protect the glass. I've also made a leather nato for it, which is extremely comfy. At first I thought about changing the hands for samurai or mm300 hands, but I really like the original hands (which I by the way hated at first).
Besides, the hand set it apart from my Sumo. I'm also kind of waiting for a ceramic bezel insert with lume numbert and indices 8) , so this might be temporary.
So.. What do you think?

Can I ask where you got the ceramic bezel insert from ?
aahhhhh found it in the other thread ..thanks !!!
New update. Sourced a used aftermarket super oyster, that I polished to new condition. Really makes the watch come alive!
Looks so much better with the ceramic bezel insert :) nice work !
New update!
Switched the hour hand and the seconds hand to original Seiko samurai hands. The new minute hand didn't fit, and it took me forever before I realized it. I like the original minute hand even more, so it doesn't really bother me. This was my first hands swap, and it took me forever. Hopefully I wont feel the need to switch any other hands in the future. I thought I had wreched it at one point, so now I really appreciate the watch :D

That looks so much better than the original. Good work.
