Explore xxcesar's Seiko Turtle modifications, a photo essay showcasing custom dials, bezels, and hands, inspiring personal watch customization.

Xxcesar shares an extensive photo essay showcasing his personalized Seiko Turtle modifications, inviting fellow enthusiasts to appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity involved. This post highlights the vibrant modding culture within the Seiko community, where collectors transform affordable watches into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces.

This is a summary of my turtles so far, some are only slightly changed, others I have put quite some effort in. In Germany they say: A picture says more than a thousand words, so I will spare you of a lot of text - the experts in this forum will anyhow identify the donor watches of most of these.

I know that modding is not for everyone, and I would not do most of this to one of my more expensive watches, but for me it is part of the allure of Seiko, that this can be done. I have to say that a lot of the aftermarket parts are of very high quality. So, if you are into taking things apart, understanding mechanics and having your personal 1-of, you should try it out.

If you have further ideas of what I should try, please, please let me know.

Enjoy your weekend,

C.

Can you explain a little more about the process of making some of the changes.

I too have gone down the “hot rod mod my Seiko” route, but I only have a few of them left. You have been far more adventurous than I ever was. Cheers, Cazalea
