sneed12 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I got into watch modding years ago, and have been doing a lot of stuff with Seiko SKX divers. I'm relatively new to the rep game, but already I love the different challenges! When you mod an SKX, everything fits. There's no problem with dial feet. There's no problem with movements not quite fitting the case. The rep thing is totally different. No two watches are the same. I have 2 PO's in pieces on my bench, I was going to do a case swap but the dial-to-crystal distance is not the same between the two. Today, I had a bracelet screw that was slightly too large to fit through the hole in the link. After brainstorming a little bit, I chucked it up in a drill and went after it with a piece of sandpaper. Yes, I know, compared to our resident experts here that's child's play. Heck, ubi's 10 year old girl can probably do it faster and better than I can. So what? I felt like MacGyver. I took stuff that didn't fit and MADE IT WORK. I love that feeling.
