After having completed two other projects with this red dial (Brian May Seiko Special Edition) I liked it so much I put together another one to keep. I was never interested in red dialed watches before and in fact never had any for years. But recently I came in possession of a couple and decided I was missing out.
The base watch is a Seiko SRP Save the Ocean Turtle which has been modified in several ways. First of all the crystal is domed and is a sapphire. The bezel is aftermarket coin edge and so is the insert, steel etched. The chapter ring is also different, steel instead of the plastic one on the original model. I did not do these modifications but I did install the OEM Seiko Red Brian May dial and the Sea Urchin hands.
The result is below. I like it a lot and think this might be a keeper.

Nice one!
Re: One more Seiko project
That looks fantastic!
I’ve never been a red dial guy either, but that shade is great.
Very nice work!

Looks sharp, Carlo. The wood grain texture on the dial is very appealing.

Re: One more Seiko project
Thank you guys, yes the color and texture of the dial are definitely different and cool. Seiko did make this special...
For me the Turtle case works best as well so happiness all around.
