Watch This BEFORE You Mod Your Seiko SKX!

A Mod is only for the person that owns it. Certainly one can buy a C-Tank watch or an IWC that speaks just to its owner, but a Modded watch becomes as much a part of its owner's originality as do the freckles on their hands. Modding is completely and absolutely worth it. This is a very good "review" of and for a Mod.

The almost perfect syncing of the two watches pleases me

[jefferyneu]

I never thought I would have a modded watch. Then Island Watch started modding watches. I have one of Marc’s modded SKX’s and couldn’t be happier. The fully lumed ceramic bezel makes me happy every time I see it light up. And the double domed sapphire crystal just makes sense to me!

Great honest content as always Jory! I have been modding, repairing, collecting and building Watches for 18 years and have to say that 4:44pm has done a great job on choice on parts and design. Nathan rocks. Cheers.

Like for synchronized watches. People rarely do it for videos.

Mine: bead blasted case, SARB059 Alpinist dial, black date wheel, OSC polished DLC chapter ring and bezel, Namoki Seamaster professional bezel insert, Lucius Atelier lumed "Grand Seiko" hands. Looks like a cross between an Omega SMP and Planet Ocean with an SKX body. I absolutely love what you can do with these things.

I love the way the crystal and the bezel make an almost seamless transition into metal from glass. The domed crystal is a real turn-on!!! Loved the video T-3!

The Islander (ISL-02) is the best SKX mod, and insanely affordable. Received mine yesterday and it’s stunning

[chrisfenton]

I purchased my first modded sxk, the only thing as factory is the dial (same as in this vid). It’s all black case and bezel (yacht master style) with a NH36A movement, a double domed crystal with a red anti reflected coating, red inner chapter ring, red signed threaded crown in black, red minute hand with the second and hour in black, and black background day/date wheel with white text, it’s sitting on a black leather strap with red 2 months on I still can’t stop looking at it, I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I couldn’t be happier with my and that’s the point of modded watches, it will always be perfect for you. I have watches up to tens of thousands in my collection but this is still one of my favourites.

I actually like the fact that the skx007 has a simple movement that doesn't hack or hand wind, the people who hate the watch because of those reasons are the type of people who would have a heart attack if they had to drive a car with wind up windows 🤣

[freehey]

That explains why I've always liked the 5kx, it has a "Congee" day wheel. That's tasty

[KrishanSedov]

i just got into modding about a week ago, been practising a bit and nearly finished my mod on my seiko snk809

[NOSKIPPIN]

I just updated the bezel to ceramic, makes a huge difference from the cheap aluminium one!

I bought a moded skx . Gateway drug could not be more accurate . Then assembled parts and made one for myself 4 watches later for my family all unique . Which is the beauty of doing this . Do them how you want them . Jory you are partly to blame for this . If it wasnt for you i wouldnt be so into watches now . Lol . Thank you for your channel and what you do . 👍

[placcplacc]

Nice to see your evolution Jory, you like frankenwatches now!

[secretariat-]

Modified watches are cool but the SKX is so iconic looking that it needs to stay as is, I tried a small mod on one of my SKX watches and frankly once on my wrist I missed the actual older look so I changed it back, moding is cool but not for everyone, I do like that moded 5KX...

[thephotoop]

Another great video!
I have 4 SKX's, all modded. I did two myself and bought two. Had to have one of mine fixed because I have man hands and screwed it up, ruined a handset and movement, expensive mistake. Now I will only buy the finished product. My favorite mod looks OEM, but has a NH36 movement, sapphire, signed crown, and fully aligned everything. Looks like a 007, but is not original.

[laurenzheitmann]

Just getting into your channel, and I actually played back the intro twice lol... It's bangin'

[readyme]

Love this. It may be an alternative to me wanting the 007. Honestly the thing I hate about it is the "5" on the dial.

[billj]

I've owned 4 different modded watches, one that I modded myself. Years ago I had an SKX173 that failed so I bought a new Seiko 5 on ebay. It was one of the very small cased models with a field-inspired dial. I took the entire movement/dial/hands out of the 5 and put into my SKX173. My other 3 modded watches resulted from buying various dials and hands then sending the watches out to have parts swapped.
