For those who aren't familiar with the watch in it's original configuration, here's a SEIKO SKX011J 200m diver's watch...

Now, a lot of people aren't so fond of the orange font on the bezel insert or the golden hands that don't contrast well on the dial..
SO, the fix! First, put a set of stock SEIKO SKX hands which are blackened, and come originally on the SEIKO "White Knight". You'll find that the lume on the Knight's hands is far "brighter" looking, and won't match well with the dial. Problem, you say? NO PROBLEM...Just LUME the dial to match!! Next, switch out that nasty orange insert for a stock SEIKO SKX007 insert, and while the bezel's already off, why not replace that hardlex with a nice SAPPHIRE...
Here's the result!



Happy moddin', fellas....Keep yer stick on the ice!!
Everyone needs 10 watches...
