Very nice military diver with desirable and tasteful mods! Start with the legendary Seiko SKX case, upgrade to a NH36 hacking, hand winding movement, put a functional Dagaz XW Red Tri dial on with matching Dagaz type 2 ladder hands, add an OSC bezel and 12-hour insert. Put it all on a nice bracelet and you've got a real tool with wrist presence!

The upgrades alone are worth at least $200!

Note that after the upgrades, it was not pressure tested, so water resistance is not guaranteed, but Seiko silicon grease was applied to the seals before everything was reassembled. This is an automatic watch that self-winds with the movement of your arm as you walk. It may need a few winds of the crown/stem to get going if it's been sitting for a bit. The new, upgraded movement does run well and keep good time.

Thanks for looking

$200 shipped
