Seiko Vintage Diver 3-6-9 dial

Post by Mir36 »

There is a vibrant seiko modding community here in Singapore, and I recently came across a listing that was impossible to resist.

This is the base watch, pre-mod - a stealth Seiko SRPE

This is the modded version with a faux vintage explorer-sub type dial

The SRPE replaced the beloved SKX007 model in June 2020. Specs:
* Case Material: Stainless steel
* Dimensions: 40mm
* Lug Width: 20mm
* Crystal: Hardlex      
* Water Resistance: 100 meters 
* Crown: Push/pull
* Movement: 4R36

If you want a version more suitable for diving, you can get the SRPD version.

This is my first foray in modded Seiko’s, though not modded by myself.

The first mod I will do is to get some fine 3M sanding sponge and dull the pvd/dlc since it’s too shiny :)

I mentioned irresistible. I purchased this, box papers, registration, for the equivalent of $130 or 114euro. Not bad at all. :thumbup:
