Had the watch for awhile now and ordered all the mod parts from Noah a few months back! put in together and seemed fine for about a week and then the movement started acting up and doing some weird shit, finally the second hand fell off and i just put it was away for a few months. Seeing Chris's problems and working thru them i pulled it back out and opened up the case and took the movement out, everything looked like it was in working order so i just chucked the red second hand and decided to run a two hander and to be honest i liked the look! Took it off the seiko rubber on put on a hadley-roma dive bracelet.













Bezel is red, crappy weather outside so these were shot under some real brite fluorescent lights.

here is a shot of the first go with this piece..

Very nice. Could never live with a 2 hander but glad it solved your problem for you. Seikos are so modable.

Wow ! It is amazing how you can do things like this
Trevor. Taking watches apart, putting different parts,
on and in them, changing looks ! It's all really great,
not only that you can do it, but also how all of you
guys ENJOY it ! I know it's fun for us to see the
final results. Great job and look with this one !!!

Until I saw this 2nd pic, I thought the 2-hander looked SICK! I'd wear that any day. BUT the 2nd looks even better with the pepsi!


DAMN I WANNA DO A MOD! Is this stuff hard to do? Would it be hard for someone without a CLOO???

Great job, Trevor.

It does look good. There's something about a pepsi bezel that I really like. The cushion case on the 6309 is awesome too. I wish they would bring it back but then it wouldn't be as special. Nice combination dude!
