Seiko Alpinist , the picture isn't the best & doesn't really show off the stunning dial . I have also given the casing a brushed look which I think suits the watch better than the polished from factory .

I recently built this SKX to match my latest car build.

The only original parts are the case and back.

) double dome ar
) dagaz dial, hands & insert
) yobokies coin edge
) oversize crown
) nh35 reg'd at 2 per day
) completely polished case
) custom strap
) pressure tested
















Man can't live by Rolex alone !

This shows the magic of Seiko polish when a cream dial and dauphine hands (no lume) can be legible under very dim light.

Seiko Watches
Posted some pictures on another thread (Re tribute to Roger Moore )but thought , Might as well share these on the Seiko Thread . Seiko 7A28 7020 SPR007 . Even though the watch is 33 years old its accuracy is still amazing .

Subtly modded SKX007 with a double domed sapphire crystal and movement swap to a NH36 for hacking/handwinding.

Just picked this up for $20 in a pawn shop. Set it this morning and eight hours later, it is keeping perfect time. She could use a good scrubbing, obviously. A vintage Seiko is about as good as Seiko gets. This one dates to July, 1973.
