I'm sure others have done this before but this is my first Citizen 1000m “AutoZilla” Ti conversion. Walter Alfarano in Canada did the machining for the set of lugs and replacement ring around the caseback. All fit perfectly. Now the screw lug pins allow me to use all the 24mm Panerai straps that I have. Changes the whole nature of the watch. I never liked the rubber straps that come on the AutoZilla except for water sports. Very uncomfortable on a hot Florida day and never stayed balanced on the wrist. Can’t wait to try some of my Mario Paci straps.

I really don't know what it looked like before the conversion but it sure looks like some nice work!
Good looking watch

Before Pics. Looks good with the integrated band but it's your only choice without the lugs.

Very nice.

I have Walt's NATO adapters on my Eco-Zilla.
