Just an idea I had for a while...
Just an idea I had for a while...
I always liked the Seiko SRP043 looks, the one the some people call SPORK. I never really liked the case too much, but overall it is one of my favorite models from Seiko. I tried to kind of put the same idea on a Samurai and this is what resulted... The dial is from Dagaz and the hands are from the SPORK, the seconds hand is the same but black from a Stargate.
What I might do next is to replace the bezel with something else...

Love that dial. I put one in a 6309 from the Phillipines I got off the bay. I screwed up setting the hands and put it away in frustration. Then it got lost for well over a year. I just found it this weekend. I need to find someone to fix my fuckup (I think I bent the second hand; the whole works gets stuck at 2:10 until I pop the stem).

The Samurai is a tough one to mod, in my opinion, maybe because of the angular case. Maybe because I like the old hand set best. I’ve also found it tough to like it on anything but a leather strap or maybe Nato. Again probably just me but that case is a hard match to bracelets other than the OEM, and that OEM bracelet isn’t the greatest.
Carlo I agree you should change out the bezel insert. I think something simpler/quieter would work better. That hand set is very prominent, and I think the Samurai insert is too busy to be a match.

Thank you both, the turtle looks great. The hands should be an easy fix.

Thank you Paul, here is my second try. Original dial with Seiko SNZH55 (FFF) hands.

I like the second version better. Great job!

Like them all here.
I'd like a smaller arabic numeral dial with open six and nine, sorta akin to the latest JDM tictac. I get that it's more PAM but it works with that watch.

Thank you very much. I would like to try a military dial in fact... maybe next.
