SKX007 quick mod

Post by stonehead887 » Thu Sep 22, 2022 12:04 pm

Hi guys,

Thought I would share some pics of a super quick mod I did. I wanted to give my 007 a bit of an upgrade without losing the feel of a classic 007, but also something simple enough that I could change back if I wanted.

I bought a sub style bezel and glass (lumed) bezel insert same style as original. It arrived really nicely packaged in about 6 days to UK, not 100% where it shipped from. Parts were in a sturdy and very useful tin, all wrapped up and with warranty and little sticker.

The mod itself was super easy. The bezel came with a double sided sticker and the insert dropped in perfectly and stuck down well. Bezel is domed but to me not immediately obvious.

Next, using a knife, simply popped off the old bezel and the new one popped straight back on. Bezel action is perfect and exactly like original.

Parts quality is excellent and I am impressed with whole package.
Overall very pleased with results, it still looks and feels like a 007 but ready for modern times. Lume is really good and matches Seiko green perfectly.

Very cool. Do they do a silver-on-black insert, or just the "Pepsi"?

:fire: I would do that awesome bezel upgrade just for the cool edge/grip alone.
