A couple of changes

Hey Guys,

I've been trying to stop myself from buying another Rolex and I thought this might be therapy.

The Seiko SKX007K with some Bill Yao bits,



The quality of the parts is very good and both my watchmaker and myself were impressed with the fit and finish.

I ordered the sapphire crystal as I was sick of the hardlex crystal scratching and decided whilst there to give it a different look with a MOD dial and hands.

Aaron

Bill Yao does some great dials and hands for Seiko and several Rolex dials all his work I have see has been very high quality.

Nice Aaron, it looks really sharp! How is the Yao lume compared to the OEM lume?

I just got an email from Bill Yao where he said he's considering doing an Panerai hommage dial for the Seikos. I think that would look awesome too.

BTW, Bill seems like a decent guy too!
