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 w
The needle is a diversion 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。

  1. SHUKU's、Long time no see! I'm glad you're doing well!
    And、I am more than happy to post、I am grateful.。Thank you。
    Actually, I am suffering from the prolonged extreme depreciation of the yen.、It is no longer possible to import watches.、I've run out of things to sell, so、I've been working on a side job since last month.、I took a day and a half off and did a side job.、I continue to follow a three-day life pattern of doing this job for one and a half days.。
    Moreover, last month I was neglecting my main job due to continuing training for that job.、I've calmed down somehow、Starting this month, I want to work hard at a slow pace.、continuation、Thank you m(_”_)m

    so、That's right! 5 of this series (SNKD97、The case of SNKE01) is similar to GS, so、Even if you don't cut the lag like SHUKU and others、Belt in this article↓

    If you make the belt solid like this、That alone makes it a luxury watch, so it's an excellent base watch!

    Long time no see!
    The impact of the weak yen is also pervasive in the watch industry.。Rather, it's a direct hit.。
    I pray that the yen depreciation will be resolved soon.。
    Now、This SNKD97 is a watch that I have a lot of feelings for, so I think I'll keep owning it forever.。SNKE01 (black dial) is also good!
    i have both。
    48A's belt is nice, isn't it?。I wanted one too, but I remember it being expensive...lol

    In、I will still post、I hope to work with you in the future。

    1. reply、Thank you!
      48We also sell A2、Currently, the stock is selling for 8,200 yen including tax.、I think the price will probably go up by around 10% from the next shipment.。
      Mr. SEIKO、Parts prices have also gone up across the board.、It's hard…

        48A2 is definitely expensive~
        But the one that matches the lug width is the best.。
        …in、While I was wondering, I started grinding lol
        I remember when I deleted it lol

  3. SHUKU's
    The simple and mature atmosphere is so cool😊
    Above all, the lug width has been enlarged beautifully, and even though I was told that it was originally this shape, I am impressed with the finished product.

      thank you for your comment。
      simple is better、It's getting better to play with it、I feel like I'm going back and forth w
      I guess I'm in a very simple place right now lol
      One of the charms of MOD is that you can change the look even if it has become bulky!

    Although it is completely different from the original image, it has a genuine feel and has a sports model atmosphere, which is cool.(^^)I think it was difficult to process the rug, but it is beautiful and amazing 😲

    1. ichi
      I did the rug processing itself a while ago.、I was about to give up halfway through lol
      No, I have memories that are nothing but penance...lol
      That's what happens when you shave a case!

  5. SHUKU's
    It's been a long time.。
    This base mod is、I am from your first post、very inspired、Allogeneic(different bezel colors)A nostalgic masterpiece that was imitated! !
    Re-specification changes including this belt、With a very German taste、It's super cool 😍

    1. yoohiyy
      thank you for your comment。
      Yup、It definitely has a German flavor to it.。
      Color? Simple fish?
      I feel like if I simplify the hand, I will get closer to Germany.。
