A couple of Seiko projects completed recently

Post by CarloDWC » Sun Mar 08, 2020 11:34 am

I recently, in the past few weeks, completed a few projects and I wanted to share some pics. They are probably low tech for some or uninterestingly affordable but I hope that some will enjoy seeing some Seiko watches... :grin:

Please excuse any lint or dust on my poor pictures.

The first one is a Seiko SRP777 which has the dial and hands from the Seiko Sumo Anniversary edition SBDC027. I found the dial many months ago but I recently was able to aquire the hands and a case with sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Put it all together and here it is. :thumbsup:

The next one is also an SRP777 to which I installed a Yellow Seiko SKXA035 dial and some Seiko Sea Urchin hands, a bracelet and now I have a finaly Bumblebee project. ;)

This one is a SKX diver with a MKII dial and straight hands. The bezel is smooth, it has a domed sapphire and drilled through lug holes. Not sure about the final outcome and I might change it again. But for the moment I am wearing it... :grin:

Fantastic work, Carlo. I especially love the first one. I have a set of those hands waiting for the right project.

Very nice! Love the first two. But I'm a sucker for yellow dials!

Thank you and yes, the first one is my favorite as well. Then the Bumblebee and the SKX last... I think I have to revisit it... :grin:

The first one is the winner for me!

Love the first one! When those hands came out I think I asked about hands availability for this exact project.

They’re not cheap. I paid over $100 for a set.

1st one looks better than a SBDC027 :thumbsup:

Last one is very cool, too. Makes me think bad thoughts about a Railmaster.

Thank you and I totally agree. The Sumo is nice but I prefer the Turtle case better. :grin:

Yes, Railmaster is one of my favorite looks. I wish I had more options for the hands... :grin:
