Have u tried the seiko turtle srp779? What made u choose the mini turtle over the turtle?

It’s just like another turtle, for me the Pepsi color way has never been a thing. But it’s just personal preference.

So I bought a set of skx007 hands to install in my mini turtle. The mini turtle hands, especially the minute hand on the padi version, look anemic.

Who can do it for me? It needs to be done on the spot while I wait.

If you’re around Klang Valley, try to look for Andy at the amcorp mall flea market on weekends.

This Andy guy...is he a watchmaker? I'm thinking of restoring rusty hands on my watch (non-Seiko) and looking out for such service.

Yup, he’s quite famous. If the work is complicated, I think most people will leave their watches there, otherwise it shouldn’t be any problem.

My first ever homage. Surprisingly the overall built quality has expected my expectations. NH36, sapphire glass are the plus points.

Sorry, can buy or cannot buy off the shelf?

Thanks for the great comprehensive info.
Does it involve opening the watch body.. Which may affect water proofing?
*
The watch itself, yes you can. But for the mod parts, they’re all aftermarket parts. As for the WR part, you won’t know until you give it a pressure test.

That’s all I can think of. As for watchmen recommendation, I’m not too sure. Been too long since I’ve modded 1. Actually it’s not that difficult to DIY, maybe you can watch a few videos on YouTube to get the rough idea.

Nice to see gentleman from a watch modder.

After collecting a few watches, I myself learnt a bit in how to mod watches myself. It’s nothing extremely difficult but a lot of focus and concentrations are needed except for the movement part. And of cos don’t get cheap tools, you will regret for the few extra bucks you’ve saved.
