    Hi guys. The SKX171 dial is not available from any official dealer as it is sold by those who happened to have some OEM parts while the watch was in production. I do not know of a reliable resource to locate the dial. Its usually from forums or eBay.

  • @caspermannplank5968
    @caspermannplank5968 Před 6 lety +6

    Man, you did an amazing job on these Seiko's! You fixed everything we always have complained about. These modified SKX models are so much better and more beautiful.

  • @warbolter
    @warbolter Před 6 lety +2

    Great vid! Just got into modding Seikos recently and your videos have been a great help. Always looking forward to seeing more!

  • @stevetownsend1389
    @stevetownsend1389 Před 5 lety +2

    Beautiful mods, and great video. That dial from the SKX171 is amazing. I'm going to start my search.

  • @adamgreenfield5783
    @adamgreenfield5783 Před 4 lety

    I love the mod options on the Seiko Prospex line. So much fun reasonably priced, and over and again you can continue even swapping current mod parts with previous mod parts. It's like having a new watch all the time!!!! AWESOME!!!

  • @tunokies
    @tunokies Před 6 lety +1

    Both look great 👌
    People used to mod the SKX171 just by popping on a 007 bezel. It is the classic Seiko mod that came before much of the modding we see today.
    Nice.

  • @MrTimstaaa
    @MrTimstaaa Před 6 lety

    Thank's again for another great video. Your video's are the best. I've learnt heaps from you. I even mod my own watches now.

  • @alexanderv.8961
    @alexanderv.8961 Před 5 lety

    Great video! Just got my SKX009 and I put a Strapcode Super Jubilee bracelet on it. Loving it! Might contact you soon about modding a 007 that I will buy.

  • @billj5645
    @billj5645 Před 2 lety

    On the blue one I like the Sumo hands. I had 2 of the early Sumos and those were some of my favorites. And I think I like the rectangular hour marks a little better. Years ago I has an SKX173 with its rectangular markers and at that time I thought I liked the round markers better.

  • @eyeontime6136
    @eyeontime6136 Před 5 lety

    Yeah the applied markers are really nice and I wish they were available.

  • @norlmanlo343

    Hi there. How different is the skx007k1? Can it be modified same way as the K2?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get a ceramic Pepsi bezel for a turtle? Thanks

  • @KalchykDen
    @KalchykDen Před 4 lety

    Is this ceramic bezel insert on the first watch fully luminous? Or only pip?

  • @Ram-jw9ry
    @Ram-jw9ry Před 5 lety

    Where’s a good reputable place to buy the first dial at? I know they’re all over eBay, but I just don’t know if they’re any good or will last.

  • @jamesbelan
    @jamesbelan Před 5 lety

    Lume pip on the black ceramic bezel is filthy!

    So, how much does the blue one cost? Thank you for your video! Roger

  • @duke6j
    @duke6j Před 4 lety

    Where I live there are 5 jeweler's that have watch makers in their store full time. I asked about having a watch modded and they couldn't do it. Seems like they only replace batteries and exchange watch straps. I don't know how they make any money. Where can someone like me get someone to modify one of my watches?

  • @seswan9254
    @seswan9254 Před 5 lety

    I swear people could think one of these was a Rolex with correct mod

  • @ScottyBennitone
    @ScottyBennitone Před 6 lety +1

    I just did a Skx 013 Tudor snowflake mod ( pics and vid on my channel ). Just curios. The dial is almost too sterile now without a Seiko logo . Do you think maybe I could remove an applied Seiko logo from another dial and apply it to my new dial? I thinking maybe glue it on with crafters cement ? Thanks .

    • @LumeShot
      @LumeShot  Před 6 lety +1

      Very possible. The logos are usually attached by feet. If those are cut off, it would definitely work.

    • @ScottyBennitone
      @ScottyBennitone Před 6 lety

      Lume Shot thank you !

  • @patrickoshea72
    @patrickoshea72 Před 6 lety +1

    Does the NH36 upgrade have a screw down capability...it doesnt seem so from your video...?

    • @LumeShot
      @LumeShot  Před 6 lety +1

      The crown does screw down, I just left it undone for ease of demonstrating the watch for the video! You can check out my other modification videos to see the crown screw down.

    • @patrickoshea72
      @patrickoshea72 Před 6 lety

      Lume Shot Great, many thanks!

  • @p.a.4928
    @p.a.4928 Před 6 lety +6

    The blue is........... ............perfect !!!!!
    She looks like old Seiko divers for the 80'.
    The ceramic bezel and sapphir glass make these Seiko's more luxury.

  • @joeypatchouli9219
    @joeypatchouli9219 Před 4 lety +1

    In new to watches, can someone explain to me the hype of your watch “hacking” why do you want your seconds hand to stop moving ? Wouldn’t that throw it off

    • @DarensVideos
      @DarensVideos Před 4 lety +1

      Allows a group of people to synchronise watches with greater shared precision. Used to be common among military, engineering, & others. Less of a necessity now that we are all surrounded by network time. Having hacking seconds was (& still is) considered an indicator of movement quality.

  • @seanvanginkel
    @seanvanginkel Před 5 lety

    With bracelet on I'd have a better visual idea how it looks to compare the two.

  • @OhadStolarz
    @OhadStolarz Před 6 lety +5

    Beautiful work! But it makes me wonder... In the second example, if I am not mistaken, you have practically swapped our every single part in the watch, excluding the case. The result is stunning, but to me it feels off to gut a perfectly good timepiece like that... Almost like a Frankenwatch... You see what I mean? Would love to hear your thoughts about this. Cheers!

    • @LumeShot
      @LumeShot  Před 6 lety +4

      Practically yes, the case and the crystal were the only components left over but, most of the components are all original seiko parts, it still has some of that seiko character. The thing with modifying is the watches are personalized in my opinion. For me, a Frankenwatch has a negative connotation such as trying to deceive itself as being original. Modifying isn't deceiving, just adding some personal character! But to each their own.

    • @MiguelGarcia-vj7oo
      @MiguelGarcia-vj7oo Před 6 lety

      Lume Shot your modded seikos are not frankein watches.....theres a consistency..........

    • @brenmangood
      @brenmangood Před 6 lety

      I somewhat understand. Had to destroy the watch that the parts came from. I would guess it was not a functioning watch?

    • @OhadStolarz
      @OhadStolarz Před 6 lety +1

      Hi. I apologize for using that term, I understand it was a bad choice of words. Meant no offense. Cheers.

    1:09 dial design!! i want it

  • @peterbuchardt
    @peterbuchardt Před 5 lety

    The Sumo handset doesen't seem original to me. All too white and a faulty quality on the hourhand. Are they luminous? They're not the same color as the markers on the dial. It's a little uncool for a hand-modded watch.

  • @petershallis2294

  • @kevindehinkelai7464

    • @LeiteJohannes
      @LeiteJohannes Před 5 lety

      The other dials still shine as bright as the 007, though. Both dials are Seiko original

  • @wheillebherttjanmontalbeu

    Have mine that looks like milgaus

  • @jaberjaber9503
    @jaberjaber9503 Před 5 lety

    Basically u just kept SKX case and changed the watch completely.

  • @chargedchiefhaze9130
    @chargedchiefhaze9130 Před 5 lety +2

    I just don't understand why you would buy a good seiko 007/013 and rip the guts outta it.. These watches will be worth a hell of a lot more in the future if they are not changed/modded. 👍don't get me wrong, they look nice.. But there's something reliable about have a piece that you know hasn't been touched or altered.. Piece of mind.. Maybe cause I was born in the 70s. Lol. 😆In my opinion.. Great vid though👍👍
