Re:

There’s a guy in Indonesia who mods Seiko pieces: https://www.instagram.com/stph_dxtr/

If I am an absolute purist in vintage Rolex as well as with Patek, I’m the absolute opposite for Seiko. I’m asking him for any ideas to age my SLA017 at the moment.

OK thanks for the information.
Wow that is a big call to mod a SLA017 I can get my head around doing it to an SKX009 but wow to me the SLA017 is perfect. However, I'd love to see one with instant patina and aging (as long as it isn't my watch)

Very nice. That dial is worthy of a GS! I hadn’t seen this watch before but it’s on my wanted list now. Everything goes together well on this watch - best looking dress watch I’ve seen since the DeVille Hour Vision.

Surprise!

Was just downstairs, and this turned up, used to wear it years ago, still have box, papers etc., from when I bought it in Barbados....this watch is a beast, forgot how great this one was. Just wound it for awhile, set the time, and it will start to get some wrist time again. Always thought the matte black center links looked great on this watch.

Seiko Velatura, automatic kinetic direct drive.
