Seiko SBDC051 Mod
Thank you to Jeff at Watchmakers 4 for his excellent work on this one. I fell for the watch the moment I saw it but thought Seiko completely missed with their choice of hour hand.
I added the black date wheel to give the watch dial a bit more stealthy look.

Great mod, well done

Looks great! Is the hour hand GS oem?

Re: Seiko SBDC051 Mod
That hour hand really looks well proportioned in this setting. Genuine Seiko? Where did you source it?

Re: Seiko SBDC051 Mod
Love the mod, looks great! I was obsessed with this Seiko for awhile and I managed to talk myself out of buying it and now I am starting to regret that I think

Re: Seiko SBDC051 Mod
I went back and forth with this one, modded, vs. a MM300. I have owned a MM and loved the watch and thought the bracelet was rubbish. I've heard the bracelet on this one is better so I will give it a whirl. Will more than likely pick up another MM soon though.

Re: Seiko SBDC051 Mod
I like the mod and it does look good. Having said that the original handset has grown on me and I still like them better. I'm just a stock watch kind of guy. If I have to change something on the watch to like it better I'll just not buy it in the first place.
Re: Seiko SBDC051 Mod
nicely done.

Hour hand actually looks more native here than it does on the GS. Well done.
