I could be wrong on this but I think that would be considered a fake or counterfeit, not a mod (since the watch contains the logo of a company that didn't make it).

Edit Although maybe it wouldn't be since it has a cyclops, fluted bezel, and jubilee bracelet, all of which wouldn't be seen on a Grand Seiko.

I just bought a Seiko mod to satiate my need for a watch with a powder blue face. Wasnt sure I'd like the color so wanted to try it out on something cheap. Here's a pic from the seller. I'll send a wrist pic when I get back home. Note it's not actually a Grand Seiko. I wish.


I like it! Hope it looks that good in person.

the one I'd be looking at uses seiko for the base, but has unique logo dials, hands etc, so true 1 of 1…kind of

Again, would be a beater, so not too worried about it

has anyone gone down the rabbit hole of mod watches? I've seen a few that were intriguing, but stumbled onto 1 guy who has some really sharp stuff. It would be for a beater watch as a flier, just wondering if anyone has gone down that road


Technically my skx007 is modded, only the case, face, hour and second hand and case back are original.

The new movement has kept better time than the original.

I think for $800 or less you can make whatever you want and come out with a pretty good watch.

Current arrangement:

Depends on taste, but something besides a steel watch with a big bezel and date. Maybe a chronograph, dress watch, a more dressy sport watch (datejust kind of fits here already), something gold, or maybe even something more square. There are a lot of ways to provide more variety.

Guess it depends on how you look at it. The Date Just is dressy enough unless you're James Bond crashing black tie events every weekend. The Omega is fun and sporty, yet robust for any time. The Sub is business casual and a conversation piece / status symbol. And the GMT is fun and colorful and useful if you travel.

The datejust as a dressy watch???

Farmer, you're losing your edge; we've beaten you down with stainless steel sport watches for so long that you're now calling them dressy.

As far as sport watches go, a date just is more dressy than say a sub. No?

Yes, I'm just giving you a hard time for calling it dressy.

You still wouldn't wear that with a suit would you?

I respect the old school approach even though I don't follow it.

I could find a reason to wear it with a suit, especially if we're talking about a gold one like mine. Generally, suits are reserved for a dress watch.

What if your shoe choice with the suit is a pair of triple stitches? How do the watch rules change then? Asking for a friend.

Tell your friend get a pair of Goodyear welted oxfords and if he wants to dress it down he get some Goodyear welted derby's or boots.

Queer Eye For The Straight Guy Is having a reboot on Netflix. You sound like a great fit for the cast.
