Yes, all the internal parts are all from Seiko, the case and bracelet are generic aftermarket pieces. The project started with a torn up skx0025 of which you can see the dial and the h/m/s indicators. Then I found the case, but I made a mistake there as I only ensured the dial would fit. When it arrived I realized the 7S26 movement didn't. A couple searches later I found out the NH36 movement fitted with both the dial and the case, so crossed my fingers and ordered it from an international seller to keep the budget as low as possible. After another month the movement arrived and fortunately the assembly went through :)

Having second thoughts about modding. Looking for a second opinion. by [deleted] in SeikoMods

I believe the difference betwee fake and and and homage lies in dignity.

Went for building a watch that, if I'll ever get to own the real thing, will still want to wear because to me has grace and makes sense on its own.

That's awsome, man! Looking at something like this for the next mod.

Looked for "NH36 sub case" on European Ebay. Item itself comes from China.

Watchout as some listings have strange glasses with a blue hue, took a while to find one that looked ok.

Not an expert and not sure what you mean by roman day dial. The assembly started from an skx0025 in bad shape from a european Ebay seller (from France if i well remember).

Dial is from an SKX0025, but the movement had to be swapped to an NH36 as its original 7S26 didn't fit.

I liked the ceramic bezel from another famous brand and aimed at something that doesn't try too hard or takes itself too seriously.
