For Sale:

A brand new unworn Seiko SKX007 that has been customised with the addition of:

-the flat Hardlex crystal has been replaced with a high domed 'Bubble' blue AR coated sapphire.These are second only to diamond on the MONS scale and very hard to scratch.These high quality crystals give a retro look and add clarity and magnification to the dial.An outrageous dome to this crystal as you can see from the side view photos.I simply cannot stop looking at this watch when it's on the wrist!

-the ticked plastic chapter ring has been replaced with a brushed stainless steel chapter from dr.seikostain.

-bezel insert replaced with a high quality gloss black ceramic insert.Mariner style with recessed white ticks and numerals,applied lume pip at 12 o'clock.

-black gloss classic Mercedes hands set.Hour and minute lume filled and lume ball on second hand.The final photo is a lume shot-the dial and hands have a matching bright lume.

-the dial is a new issue white enamelled dial from Dagaz watches.A brilliant gloss white surface with applied 3-6-9 and hour markers.Superb quality as usual from Dagaz watches.

-the Seiko bezel has been replaced with a custom CNC machined coin edged CT bezel made by Crystaltimes.These are polished 316l stainless steel with a unidirectional click utilising the original Seiko click ring.Ive played around with a few different custom bezels and these are simply the best.Alex from Crystaltimes has produced something that is better fitting and with a smoother action than the original Seiko bezel.The inserts fit perfectly with no gaps!

-all black Grand Catalonia leather strap with the correct end diameter 22mm spring bars for the SKX case.These are lined and sealed on the edges.A thick quality strap that soon breaks in and is a perfect match for this case.

This is an experimental custom of mine-the Bubble Sapphire is an outrageous crystal and has a magnifying effect but without some of the annoying reflection you get with the lower domed crystals.

The SKX007 is one of Seiko's best selling classic ISO rated 200m dive watches.The latest development of a dive watch that has been manufactured since the 1950's.These are beautifully constructed with a 316l stainless steel.

Watch measurements:

Bezel-41.5mm diameter

Case-42.5mm diameter(without crown)

Case-45.5mm diameter(with crown)

Case thickness-12mm

Lug width-22mm

An impressive wrist presence-larger watches very fashionable at the moment.

Powered by Seiko's own 7s26c automatic movement.These well respected movements are self winding with a rotor arm, and have an approximate 35hr power reserve.

This is a highly customised Seiko SKX007 with just the case and movement remaining from the original watch.The finished watch has been pressure tested in a Swiss made Bergeon5555 to 2-3bar.This equates to 20-30m depth.This watch,provided a water resistant strap is fitted,will be fine for use in the pool and most leisure dive purposes.

Note:

This will be shipped in a plain gift box.

The alterations void the international warranty but I guarantee my watch movements for 1 year.

Thanks for looking and check out my other Seiko customs.
