Return to Origin (SNKD97)

Hot days continue、How are you and the manager doing? With the summer vacation just around the corner, I had some spare time at work.、Examine the various parts at hand、I tried to assemble my own clock。 I chose the parts to be simple and well-balanced.。Avoided quirky third-party parts。 The base is the Seiko 5 SNKD97, the first mechanical watch I bought.。Originally it was a white dial with a bar index, but w the hands are diverted from other Seiko 5 things。 Cut case、Increased lug width from 10mm to 20mm。 Changing the dial to something like divers。Dark brown dial。 I chose a variety of belts, but this caterpillar bracelet looks good on the balance between the mirror and the hairline.。It's good to be thin。 The crown diverted something from Seiko 5。The glass is a sapphire single dome。 Although the atmosphere is different from the beginning、If this watch makes good use of the characteristic bezel、I think it will be a small and well-designed watch。

SKX007 GMT (with NH34)

I installed NH34 on SKX007 and made it GMT。 Chapter ring is GMT specification。 I have been customizing with the aim of becoming the "Supreme Black Boy".、This time, the heart has been renewed and upgraded to 4 needles.。 While keeping the atmosphere of the original as much as possible, I customized it.、Original parts are getting scarce、Only 3 needles, a case and a bracelet w While a real diver's watch that can be brought into the bathroom、What is GMT、It's a rare existence。 I bought most of the parts from a shop I don't know well with Aliek.。The hole in the dial is slightly expanded to become 4 hands。 Because the windshield is a sapphire double dome、There seems to be no problem with interference with the needle。 It's an orthodox MOD without a pattern ~ w

NH70＋SNZF17

I put NH70 in SNZF17。 It's hard to understand even if I say...、If you break it down a little more w Seiko's less popular skeleton movement NH70、I made a skeleton watch by putting it in Seiko 5 Sports "Sea Woo Chin" SNZF17! The belt is a tribute to a certain pilot watch brand that features a diagonal frame. The dial is transparent black.。I didn't add flutter or ribbon lol、It's a pity that I can only feel the movement here despite the transparency。 I thought it would move with the mechanics as a whole w well、I have little movement、There is no sense of depth。 The index looks like it's floating in the air。 It's a pity that the moving balance is in a deep position。 There are many disappointing points, but the atmosphere is pretty good。 Both complexity and simplicity change depending on how the light hits it、rich facial expressions。 When the light hits, the shadow is reflected deeply like this、looks three-dimensional。 and I can't see the needle。 Well、It's no use if you care about that lol The contents are like this。 the parts used、 Windshield：Double-domed mineral glass chapter ring：Suspicious aftermarket product (metal) Bezel insert：DLW pin：Suspicious external product (second hand and hour hand and minute hand are from a separate set) Dial：Suspicious third-party processed product Breath：No matter how you look at it, a suspicious homage product crown：Suspicious items that have been remodeled into a screw type.

NH37 second edition

Manager。 It's been a while since I've been making things that I can't post lol This is the second clock using NH37 that I made before。 Using the previous know-how to be more delicate、Boldly (?) I was able to make it。 24When the hour meter faces upward, it is 24:00.、It's 12 o'clock when I look down。   The case uses a general-purpose one and the windshield is a sapphire single dome.。 24For the hands of the hour meter, I used a hakama from an unknown source.。The scale is the same as before、I cut a thin white sheet into thin strips and stick it on.。 I didn't mean to、Only the lower part of the dial contains letters、It's been a really good balance.。 Still like NH70、Because I have a strange Seiko movement at hand、I would like to put it in Seiko 5 or Black Boy。

SNZG15 pilot watch

SNZG15 dial and hands MOD。 And ... the case is also sharpened。 The dial is the image of a WC pilot watch.。The same is true for needles。 The windshield was replaced with double dome mineral glass。AR blue coating is applied。 I don't really understand it from the photo、Because the windshield and dial are large、It's pretty good。 Bigger than black boy。 Because a large dial cannot be inserted from such a back cover、I put it from the windshield side。 So、The movement won't come off ... From the size of the back cover、You can see the size of the case well。 Because it's an evil mod、I can't sell it even if I put it up for sale(tears) If it doesn't sell, I'll use it as my own army pilot watch.。

I loaded NH37 on Seiko 5。 What is NH37、4It has a 24-hour counter for R-type external sales movements.、7S26 is like a brother。(Is the explanation appropriate?) 7Because it is the same size as S26、Of course, it fits comfortably in the SNX997 case.。 The reason for SNX997 is that the crown is at 3 o'clock.。 If the crown is at 4 o'clock, the position of the 24-hour counter will be ... Please understand w Make a hole in the dial and attach a hand to it.。 The hands of this 24-hour counter are the same hakama as the second hand.。I used the butt part of the needle that I don't need。 If you use only the hands, it looks like dust has fallen on the dial.、I added a scale。 I cut a thin sticker into small pieces and put it on it.。 Base SNX997 Custom case Crown Remodeled to screw-in type Windshield Tapered glass dial for King Seiko Colored DLW and colored needles DAGAZ(Hour hand, a minute) Movement NH37A belt Shark mesh general-purpose product This is NH37。 Actually, it also has a calendar、There was no turn this time。 To Seiko 5 which is a bit different、How about installing NH37? soon、NH38(Open heart)I will try to challenge!

Black Boy(SKX007)～ Regression ～

I've been customizing Black Boy in various ways so far、I want to go around and make a mod that makes the most of the genuine atmosphere、I used genuine bezel inserts and needles that I had saved before。 It is a policy to make it a minimum custom that does not spoil the "black boy-ness" by giving too much custom feeling.。 Crown with S mark and coin edge bezel。 The windshield is a double dome sapphire crystal glass with a purple AR coating.。 The dial is a suspicious limited edition。 The waterproof depth is increased by 100m to 300m w In the black part、The pattern emerges when exposed to light。 I also keep a genuine dial、I like this pattern, so I chose this one.。 I have multiple black boys, but I don't have a turn, so I'm thinking of narrowing down to about two and letting go of the rest.、I made this "genuine style" as one of the things to leave。 Dial Suspicious item purchased at Ariek Needle SKX007 genuine bezel insert SKX007 genuine bezel Coin edge bezel(DAGAZ) Windshield sapphire crystal double dome(Crystal Times) Breath Seiko SNZF17 genuine

Black rust version of Sportmatic 5

This is a continuation of the previously posted Sportsmatic 5 mod.。 The plating on the old watch is peeled off、Some brass is exposed。 This time Sportsmatic 5 also、Under the plating is a metal such as brass、By peeling off the plating, blue rust and green rust occur.、There were issues such as rashes。 Together with installing the screw-down crown、I thought about fundamentally reviewing the case、I tried coating with an oxide film due to black rust。 In the first sportsmatic I made、I made the black lighter and made it a gun metallic color.。 Unlike painting、Hard to peel off and no film thickness、It has a glossy finish。 By coating brass with black rust、Can stabilize the surface、Prevents the occurrence of blue rust, etc.。 I'm about to make Unit 2 with a golden case.。 First of all, a patina that causes black rust(Electrolyte)Soak in。 After a while、In black! It seems that you are looking at magic tricks even though it is a clear liquid。 Take it out of the patina and wipe it、Lightly oil。 Unit 2 is、I tried to make it as black as possible。 It will be a color like this。 Unit 2 is still under construction、1I tried side by side with the unit。 That the、Succeeded in black rust coating。 The chemicals are different depending on the metal、It seems that there are various patinas other than stainless steel.。 The black rust coating is also interesting if the brass case is left with a tattered plating case!

Screw-in crown

The vintage Sportmatic 5 has been changed to a screw-down crown! It uses a set of crowns sold on the net.。 I used a type that also cuts screws on the case side、I bought a tap and cut a screw。 It's like this。Please do not touch the crown mark w I feel a little relieved against water。 When you pull out the crown, it looks like this。 It's easy to turn and I'm very satisfied。 I also tried to make SNZF17 a screw-in crown。 This is one end of the divers ... that? Isn't the dial anymore divers? SNKE01 is also a screw-down crown。 The middle case is SNK355。 That the、I bought a lot of crown sets、I'm changing it to a screw-in type。 I don't know how much the waterproofness has improved W Well、Is it a matter of feeling?

Seiko Sportsmatic 5

Seiko Sportsmatic 5。 Is it a member of "Seiko 5"? When。 Manufactured around 1964。 The Seiko mark is still a piece、The SEIKO logo is also in italics, not the current one.。 The photo above is from the time I got it。 There is evidence that it has been overhauled several times in the past、I came to me in a tattered state a few years ago。 It is ant to continue using it as it is、Plating is also tattered on the stone、I wondered what would remain if I subtracted the fact that I was using "aged items".、Renewed。 Peel off all plating on the case and bezel、Polished the surface of the substrate。Both are heavily corroded、If you scrape the corroded part, you can not keep the original line、The original shape is discarded and the overall shape is rounded.。 The rounded surface will continue to be easy to polish、Because in front of the building、It's difficult to get the edge out and shape it, and it doesn't involve any technology. I didn't notice it because the original was entirely plated with stainless steel.、Bezel is stainless steel、The case is brass、It turns out that the back lid is a different stainless steel than the bezel。 Especially brass can be blackened unless it is polished regularly.。I thought about re-plating it again,、Think of it as a combination of silver and gold? I got the opinion from other people、I see! I wonder if there is such a design、I thought again。 White、Silver、For gold design、Because the bright belt looks good、For the time being, I tried to match the beige strap in color。 (I really want to use beige suede) The windshield is partially chipped, so I will replace it in the future.、The crown will be screwed in.。 It's an old clock、Not only to enjoy the antiquity、I want to have performance that is not inconvenient in my daily life, so I will remodel it.、It is the same stance as Seiko 5 that I always post。 I wrote about the future modification in the explanation、You might be wondering, "Why don't you post after all?"。 That's true、Installation of screw-in crown pipe, etc.、I don't know if it will end safely、The energetic figure may be the last one here w That's why、I posted it on the way。
