After 2 weeks in the build and 4 days to wait for delivery over Easter it finally arrived.
The only thing that remains of my old Seiko SKX is the case, everything else was replaced.
I’m so please with the outcome and it feels really special to have effectively designed the exact watch I was looking for. For anyone with an old Seiko diver and £300/400 to spend I’d highly recommend it for the experience and excitement alone.
I’m already looking to my next one which is going to be very different!

Nicely done.
Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…

Thank you guys,
This purchase/experience alone has really changed my view of watches. I’ve really begun to understand the entire watch fascination business and the actual cost vs brand ethos which is crazy in today’s market!!

Looks like a professional job, barely recognisable as an SKX.

A guy I found on Ebay and Insta called F2S Watch Mods.
He's done an amazing job but now I've bought myself some watch mod equipment and am going to give it a go myself for fun.

Can you please post us some pics as the project goes on??
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment
