I received two watches in from Duarte and they look great! I couldn't ask for anything more. The Seiko MM I bought with a regulation issue and Duarte got it running 3-4 seconds a day and he painted the second hand for me.
The Tuna I bought from Ben (thanks Benny) and had him send it to Duarte. After a sweet blast job on the bezel I have to say it works. I thought about doing the shroud also but in person I am glad I didn't. It is brushed and actually matches the matte bezel insert perfect.

That's how the MM should have come.

Thanks guys, I think Wu and I talked about the MM mod maybe 3-4 years ago if not longer and I finally felt comfortable enough to get it done (since after my last MM mod from hell). But Benny called first dibs on it a few weeks ago.

Yeah, both awesome miss. I love the 035. That could be my perfect summer watch.

If Ben called first dibs then I'll just wait until he gets it serviced and call dibs then

Nice T-money.
Ordinarily, I have perpetual dibs on all new/incoming watches but seeing as how I already have an MM, I'll let Ben have first refusal rights on this one.
You give respect, you'll get respect - you just don't know your place.

VERY COOL. He is one of the best. I had a question about a mod after about six months of wear, he took care of it immediately at no charge. I have no hesitation in recommend him, reasonable pricing and fast service.

Definitely.
Actually, if someone could find a way to retrofit a legit trip lock it would be great.

Looking great Terry.
I'd like to try a MM at somepoint, but they're not a normal stock item in the UK. Seiko has an interesting history too, I think.
Regards
Steve
