old skool Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 @old skool can you please introduce us last watch on your picture show thx It started out as a nice condition Seiko 6309 vintage diver. I purchased dial and hands from MKII (Yao), had the chapter ring custom made, new Seiko bezel insert and crystal, black day/date wheels, beadblasted case and assembly by Duarte of NEWW. I also had him paint the tip of the black sweep orange. I mounted a beadblasted Watchadoo bracelet to it to complete the look. I have since sold the watch. Started out like this: This was my original concept but I didn't feel like paying for custom dial work: I ended up with this: My other Seiko diver mod project looks like this (I've sold this watch already as well) Seiko SKX007 to start. MKII dial and hands. Black Monster day/date wheels. Aluminum oxide case blasting and assembly by NEWW. I also had the factory bracelet aluminum oxide blasted except for the signed clasp which I had beadblasted to give a contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Beautiful stuff! Bring it on! @JoJo35 ... Thanks Nanuq! (we're not worthy! lol) I've actually learned a lot from you, which brought me to my favorite: My "meters first" sub. I tried to make it as correct as possible, with an early case, twin-lock crown/tube, 9315, gen tritium pearl, aged insert, T-127, and a beautifully aged dial by the master. Oops, almost forgot the 1570! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Only one I have currently, but a new Korsbek arriving in a month or so I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 It's nice to see I'm not the only dive watch fanatic here. We're ALL sick! Jojo that's a spectacular meters-first. You nailed the insert (pointy-four) and pearl. I'd make one tiny suggestion... work over the endlinks so they fit the case slightly better, then try to match the brushing/polishing/brightness of the two so they look like they've lived together a long time.
