Seiko Shogun hand ideas??? Thoughts

[marchone]

Leave it alone.

This. The Shogun's unique handset is what gives it its character.

Another option for slighter longer hands are the ones from the SNZH55. They have decent lume too...

Otherwise, if you are happy with the ones you have on now, then

I'd probably try the SKX007, Classic Seiko diver hands.

The lume is slightly off in color on the Shogun. I recall the MM300 hands being slightly lighter in daylight.

That is pretty hot. Was it hard to source those hands? Minute hand is a tad short, but longer than the MM300 hands.

Nicely done. Love that hour hand.

Yeah the minute hand is shorter than the stock hands. But once I see this combo in person I will decide.

Wayne, there are probably on more Seiko watches than you could shake a stick at.

Great suggestion, if these don't work out it might be the Ti Samurai next or the SNZH55. Thanks bro

They are for a small diameter watch, so they would be stubby also. But they might work.

Love these hands

Thanks

Duarte told me most seiko hands do not exactly match the dials. So if anything I will get these relume to match if they look good in person.

While I prefer the original hands, (just a stock kind of guy) I'll have to see more pics to see if they grow on me. Very few mods do it for me, with the exception of the ones Carlos comes up with. Of course it only matters what you like.

Terry:

Where did you source the GS hands?

Do you think they are the same size as the NAFT hands? I'm thinking this might be cooler than doing the dial/hands swap I had planned.....

[mellonb1]

Still prefer the oem hands but I have to say that the GS hands do look damn good.

I did most Seiko's and their stock hands. This Shogun I think could look better with a different set, so hopefully these are the one.

The hands are from yobokies. He has a gold set also. These were called GS silver I think. They will fit on the NAFT, I will put them side by side when they get back and see what they look like. If it looks good I might order a gold set also.

Thanks Brian!

Cool

Just checked out Harold's site. The gold hands are called Gold GSD. I think I might order a set and throw them on my 775 or order the silver and swap them out on my soon to be ordered 773 or 777.

What about keeping with the original minute hand but using the fantastic Grand Seiko hour hand?

GS hands are brushed, Shogun hands polished

Right, I actually thought the same thing Nick originally.

[fastward]

How does the lume compare?

Ed when I get it back I will let you know. But in my experience aftermarket watch parts have shitty lume.

Actually looks pretty good T.

One thing you could try is to use the original seconds hand together with these you have on now... the shape and finish would match the GS hour/minute hands better in my opinion...

I think you might be right

You can do a "dry run" test, put the watch on the desk and then put the original seconds hand on it in the middle of the crystal and see, different positions so you can see how it works with the hands and dial. You will have at least a good idea of how it will look when installed. I do that some time to have an idea of the outcome before actually opening the watch.
