    I am the client for the watch in the video. I am rather new to watch modding and I rather enjoy the color scheme of the Rolex GMT Pepsi. I could have purchased a new Rolex (could not find one) and I could have purchased a fake Rolex. I did not want to do that. Instead, I decided to mimic the color scheme of the Rolex Pepsi with a Seiko. I have two Seikos', a 2nd gen Orange Monster and the SK 007 Dive watch. I felt that Usman created a unique, great looking watch that is exactly what I wanted. I must say that based on the comments below, I might look into a 12 hr. bezel. Frankly, I did not realize that was an option, thanks for the tips regarding that. In closing, I felt that the video was fantastic and it was fun watching my watch being built...

      I think the 24h indication looks much better and if you want a reason for it you can just use it as an AM PM to 24h converter. But not all has to make sense in the watch hobby :)

    Beautiful video. I feel really compelled to build my own Seiko Mod. I’d been collecting pieces and tools for the last 2 years. I’m sure that for the end of Summer 2021 mine will be built. I was not very fond of the Pepsi bezel until I saw you drinking an actual Pepsi. Thanks for sharing!!!

    It sounds a bit loosen when turning the bezel, not sure if you having same issue there. it happened with my mod as well, I later found out replacing a slightly larger size (0.8mm) bezel gasket would fix the problem for the aftermarket bezel.
