How the heck d'ya like THIS?

This is a Conversion Mod which uses a more robust, beefy Seiko 7002 case that has a new 7S26 movement installed.

To do this, you need to have a dial with special positioning, and use the crown/stem assembly from a Seiko 007 so that the "teeth" on the stem will work with the movt
The dial was made as a very limited run for this particular type of mod with the dial feet at the correct positiion, with this case having the true 4 o'clock crown position.

CASE: Vintage 1980's Seiko 7002 (from vintage watch, as is)
CRYSTAL: Sapphire with inner AR coating
CROWN: New SEIKO SKX007 crown
GASKETS: All new, and sealed with Compound 7 Silicon grease
HANDS: Custom XW Bund-style with Superluminova
DIAL: Custom DOT Milsub style with Superluminova
MOVT: New Seiko 7s26 automatic made in Japan (from SKX007J)
STRAP: DOT Vintage Waffle style strap







Lume shot..( This shot of a previously made watch with different hands, but you get the idea






Take 'er easy, and keep yer f***in' stick on the ice!

Very nice. Seems like a LOT of work cobbling together all the components to make it work. The result appears worth the effort

Nice!! Don't think there is any such thing as "Too much orange minute hand!"

That's watch moddin', dude...It's done for the love. Sure...lots of work, but it's all good.

Very cool!!! I like how the hash marks on the dial, chapter ring and ridges on the bezel all seem to flow together (OK, I'm looking too deep into it!) Lots of modding going on here at XMT....giving me lots of inspiration for my next one.

Now THAT is hot!

I love it!!!! I can certianly appreciate the work that went into it but the final product was well worth it. Great looking mod.

Does the Asian chick come with it? She's hot!

Great looking mod, I'd like to see some in a larger case size.

Excellent job Jake ! I really like the size and look of this one !
There is a deep 3D like effect to the dial that is really nice. Also
the bezel, hands and strap make this watch a winner !

It's great when you love what you do, isn't it?

Really like that cuff strap - Where can I get one?

Great looking watch! I really like the dials with no date, I don't use it

It's good But ...

Congratulations guys !!!..These are some COOL watches !
Thanks SO much for sharing them with us !

I must say :
It’s quite refreshing to have a site that truly is interested in seeing what can and is being made …

While it still is quite appalling to see that many of the other sites seem to have some kind of hidden agenda

It’s great to see guys who want to talk watches with no Bull shit ..and all that “you can’t do this and can't do that …”

to be on such a great site ...

Well said Noah, and great Mod Jake. This place is truly one that you can speak your mind without repercussion. No hidden agendas, no sponsorships that pay the tab, no bullshit without someone calling you out on it. Gotta love it

Totally agree with you guys !!!..It's refreshing to have a bunch of people together
who speak freely, and truthfully. All while enjoying watches, the hobby and the people
who collect them. I honestly can't stop thanking Alan, Ron, and YOU guys for making
this place SO AMAZING !!!!..I have only been here for a short time, but it has been
an astonishingly terrific time ! I'm ALWAYS looking forward to XMT
and talking with you guys..it's VERY exhilarating !..Whether you collect watches or
build them..THIS is a place to talk about it..openly and freely !..It's also a place to talk
with friends like you guys..and THAT is DEFINITELY something to APPRECIATE !
