Seiko mod

Got a new Seiko SKX007 modified by Yobokies a few days ago.
Great service, outstanding work and fast shipping

Yobokies have a lot of parts for the SKX007, so it was really fun choosing different parts

- Black clean dial with date window at 4:30
- Sterile aluminium chapter ring
- DOXA look-alike hands
- Domed sapphire crystal with double AR-coating
- Planet Ocean inspired bezel insert
- William Jean Super Oyster Type-II bracelet

I wanted a black date wheel with white numeral, but that was unfortunately a no-go. Im pending an orange nato just to mix it up

What do you guys think?

Nice looking watch! How much did the mods cost? Do you have a link to a web site?
Best wishes

I bought the watch new at Yobokies. Payed approx $300 + shipping for a new SKX007 with OEM Seiko diver rubber straps, including the parts and work for the modification. Also got a black Maratac Zulu for free

The bracelet however is a William Jean product, so I had to order that separately.

If you want a modification done by Yobokies, please take a look at his photobucket site and send him an e-mail if you would like to order. He is truly one of the good guys!

If you want the Super Oyster bracelet, you can order it from William Jean`s eBay store. The bracelet have SEL, screwed links and OEM Seiko clasp (no diver extension, though) and taper from 22/20mm. A really great bracelet!

Cheers

At first glance I said, that's no Seiko! It looked like a Marathon watch to me at first. But it works nicely. Very clean and casual. Looks like a winner to me!
