For Sale:

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

-Silver 'Soxa' dial.Semi-matte sunburst finish.Black markers with multilayered Superluminova 95%C1 and 5%C3 for extra brightness. Date window at 3 o'clock.

-Plastic chapter ring has been replaced with a custom machined brushed stainless steel ring.

-The flat Hardlex has been replaced with a double domed AR coated sapphire.These are much harder to scratch and give the dial an extra degree of clarity.The AR coating has a bluish sheen in certain light conditions.Sapphire is rated 9 on the MOHs scale and second only to diamond in hardness.This type of crystal is generally fitted to your high end Swiss watches.

-Bezel insert replaced with a black Dodger insert from dr.seikostain.A high quality anodised aluminium insert with a lumed pip at 12 o'clock.

-The dive strap has been replaced with an all black Grand Catalonia leather strap.A thick lined strap with sealed edges.These have the correct end diameter spring bars fitted and soon break in to a very comfortable strap.


-Mil Spec hands in gloss black with an Orange minute hand.All x3 hands are lined with superluminova that matches nicely with the lume generated by the dial.

This is a stunning composition with the silver and black.The Orange minute hand adds a splash of colour.

The SKX007 is itself a classic very affordable ISO rated 200m dive watch.

The culmination of a number of dive models that started life in the 1950's.Powered by Seiko's own 7s26c Japanese automatic-well respected and will run for decades.These are well constructed and the little dinks and scratches from everyday use just add character to these very collectable watches.The 316l stainless steel case has highly polished sides with brushed top.

Watch measurements:

Bezel-41.5mm diameter

Case-42.5mm diameter(without crown)

Case-45.5mm diameter(with crown)

Case thickness-12mm

Lug width-22mm

The alterations completely change the look of this watch and give a very unique stylish high value look to this classic dive watch.

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 black 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.
