Seiko Mod Group On FB

Post by mattcantwin » Sun Feb 16, 2020 7:51 am

Chris suggested I check out the Seiko Mod Group on FB.

Lots of great mods and the chance to make contacts.

For example:

Work by Lyle Krannichfeld


This ones done for now. Ct case, green waffle dial, yobokies hands (lume is a bit off but works with the colors of the build so I’ll leave them). Ct insert, osc knurled bezel, black knurled Sammy crown to match. Ct stealth chapter ring, ct flat flush clear ar crystal and a mankey designs bottle opener army green strap 👌 it’s my tactical drinking watch.

That looks really good Matt, love the mods!

Funny "Tactical" story, our ERT (SWAT) Team at work decided that they'll needed matching tactical watches. They approached a local watch company, Momentum Watches to design a VPD ERT Team Watch. They chose black everything, VPD ERT logo, case, dial, hands, date, indexes...very tactical! I laughed when I saw the watch, as you couldn't even read the time. All of the watches were returned, to have the hands swapped out... :roll:

That group has gone downhill, unfortunately. They’re extremely tolerant of fake Seiko dials and cases, as well as the companies who make those fakes.

I didn't know that; thanks for the heads-up, Chris.

They have. One of those guys in that group is on reddit selling his watches listed as "Seiko's". It took a shit ton of complaining but he finally stopped listing them as Seiko's. They have nothing on them from Seiko. The shitty part is the mods were okay with that. :puke:

I've wondered for a long time if that would better balance the dial. Looks really good.
