Seiko Modding is the process of customizing a Seiko watch to your own personal liking. This can be done by changing the dial, hands, case, glass, bezel, or strap to suit your taste. It is popular among watch enthusiasts because it allows them to create a unique watch that is tailored to their own style.
Where Did the Idea of Modifying Seiko’s Originate From?
The watch modding community started in Asia and has since then spread all over the world. People love the idea of customizing their watch to their liking, and with the Seiko movements being so reliable, it’s the perfect combination.
Seiko has a long history of creating high-quality movements for their own watches as well as distributing movements to other watchmakers. This makes them the perfect base for creating modified watches.
People have gone wild with their creativity when it comes to watches, making ones to their own taste and ones that look like something else entirely. Some people have started making their own watches that are similar to Rolexes or Pateks, but they don’t have any of the brandings from those companies. This means that they can sell their watches for much less than the original brands, and people are still able to get a quality product.
The Parts Used For A Seiko Mod
The Seiko Mod is a watch that has been modified to include a Seiko NH35A movement. This movement is an automatic movement with a power reserve of 41 hours. This makes the watch more accurate and reliable than other watches that do not have this movement.
The only part of the watch that has a brand logo is the movement, meaning the rest of the watch is clean and feels luxurious. This is because only brandless parts are used in its modification, giving it a high-end look.
The watch is made with different parts that are made out of 316 RVS steel. The watch can use a sapphire crystal or plexiglass, but they are both water-resistant. If you go with your own design, you can pick any dial, hands, case, glass, bezel, and strap that you want.
A Seiko watch modification typically takes about six hours to complete. However, this time can vary depending on how personalized you want it to be.
