:shrug:
how about some skx011 hands??
Isn't that what's already in it?
maybe they are, hell I don't know :shrug:
It's such a subtle mod only you and your watchmaker will even know you did it.

I got the crystal at home now but haven't installed it yet (and don't know yet whether to put it on the blue or the black/gold one). Would love to see some pics of others first before I make the swap...
I had it done. I don't have any good photos that show how great it looks. I posted a video on Instagram that gives a good idea. Search for @cgsshorty
Found the video, thx! It sure looks good and I think I am going to choose the black/gold SRP as well for putting the domes crystal in.

In my humble opinion, the black/gold model would be so much better if the date wheel was black, not white.

Just caught them on ABTW.

The NAFT is priced a little high at 430 eur ($475) but I'm hoping street price is closer to the ones being sold now

Better still, slap on some Sumo LE (SBDC027) hands. Win.

DAmn - how do you get those PADI seikos?
Stan, don’t you know the first law of physics? Anything that’s fun costs at least eight dollars”
-- Eric Cartman

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

I like the dial on the padi one, but could not wear a watch that said padi on it.

Curious that the 775 price on strap is identical to that on bracelet. :think:
Wouldn't it be less? :shrug:
