My first mod, SKX009
Hi everyone,
I have been collecting watches for many years, I am lucky to own many fantastic watches. However, I am wanting something under the radar for work. I currently have a black bay GMT and black bay 58 which I love, but recently I am wanting a change. I would like something smaller and I have started looking at SKX013 mods. I think this is what I want to do, buy an SKX013, put in a hacking and manual winding movement, customise the dial and bezel etc. Unfortunately I can't find anything less than over £500 for an SKX013, so im looking at an SKX009, which I am worried is a bit bigger than my small wrists can wear but happy to give it a go! Just wanting to know, roughly how much should I be looking to buy all the equipment to do this? I think I have got an inventory here but just wanting advice on anything else I need or have missed: Seiko SKX009 - £309. (I want a new one ideally) Nato Strap - £20 NH36A regulated - £52 Bezel Opener - £8 22mm fat spring bars - £8 Hand remover - £10 Dial protector - £7 Spring bar pliers - £22 NH movement stem - £5 Bergeon 7024 tweezers - £26 Sub Bezel - £31 Chapter ring - £15 Bezel insert- £28 Double Domed Saphire crystal- £33 Mercedes hands- £19 SKX crown - £21 Watch back press - £9 GS hypo cement - £9 TOTAL: £632 Am I roughly correct with my estimates regarding cost and anything else I should consider? Thanks!
