"Vintage" SKX007

You don't see many vintage Seiko builds, this is an homage to old ones

Ali case set, excellent quality
OSC crown
Ali hands, brushed and relumed by me
OSC red seconds hands relulmed by me
Ali dial relumed by me
Tire pattern rubber strap with curved ends

Nice one Kilo

Good job

Great looking case!

I love it

Nice. That must glow quite well, yes? Love the red accents.

Glows nicely but nothing like some C3 or BGW9 lumed Seiko dials

Very beautiful.
Your lumejob is awesome!
How did you obtain this colour?

I use Noctilumina pigments and binders.

As a matter of fact I recently acquired a vintage SKX007 dial with darkened lume and color is pretty close. I need to do more research on these dials though, I don't know if they had tritium lume?
