Lego my Seiko!
My first Seiko mod (or mod of any brand). Started with an SRPE93 Turtle (previous equivalent version was the SRP777). Added/swapped in the following:
- SKX173 dial
- SKX173 lollipop seconds hand
- sapphire crystal
- 12-hour steel bezel insert
I call it my SRP173. Surprisingly wearable and comfortable on my 6.25” wrists due the cushion case shape and relatively short lug-to-lug length. I use the bezel to track time in my home country (thankful for 120 clicks instead of 60). This will be/is my weekend/travel/outdoor activities/causal piece in my current three watch collection. It’s on a very nice Crown&Buckle Matte Supreme NATO (space blue). I am thinking about getting an Ericka’s Original Mirage and Royal Blue strap to pair with it in future.

Usually I’m not a fan of mods but…
IMO this is considerably nicer than the original… Well done!
Thank you!
I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. The fun to price ratio is very favorable. And what good is this hobby if it isn’t fun?!
