    I've seen similar mods to this with tudor hands. It was quite good looking.

    Just went to Tag Heuer Boutique today after so long of staying at home.

    I am quite surprise that the carrera heritage H02 is really good looking in real life. The sales rep said it been selling like hot cakes.

    I got to admit though, i thought i would be liking the new Aquaracer. Just saw it today, and it didn't stir the same enthusiasm as i had with the previous AR.

    It's cool. I'm not judging, just trying to understand.

    Enjoy your Seiko Mod! :)

    Seiko mods are good fun. Huge community too. I used to have a modded 7002 with olive drab ceramic coating. Modded to look like a tactical/pilots watch.

    Thanks :)

    I just remember the correct term might be "franken watch" :p

    I am just amazed recently the made so many case from Bell&Ross to AP.

    Maybe that what is really pique my interest. They even have fume dial too.

    Feel like the mix and match combinations is endless.

    Nice mods by the way. i am super new in these things. :)

    I think it's a slow burn Otto, every time I see them I like them more.

    And I agree, the Elegant Carrera is very nice - not my style, but very nice.

    Aware there are a few yema fans on the site.. this is coming up soon 1EE7BBF7-4A43-48CB-B54B-C7759B660029.png

    they are offering a kickstarter fund for it; I got my bronze diver in a similar campaign and it was a great deal

    I like the look of it

    Looks nice. Could be interested if it's well finished. Only thing I'm not sure about is the length of the case. 48mm is larger side, but OK, but it's more about whether it looks right and not just a bit stretched top to bottom. Will need to see more pics.

    I got an email about this but without the photos. I'm a bit confused as the drawings suggest an octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet, which I thought looked interesting. From the photos it appears to be a much more '60s retro styled watch.

    So apparently the integrated bracelet watch will be an additional design made available during the kickstarter campaign. I'm particularly interested in that one. 39mm, if finished like other Yema designs this could be a peach.

    yes that’s an additional kickstarter. There’s the vintage wristmaster and a ‘modern’ one which is the octagonal one. I think…

    Incoming is my first Seiko "turtle" diver. Coming in a nice and comfy 45mm case is such a bonus too.::stirthepot:: Seiko Diver Turtle SRPH57.jpg

    Nice dial !

    Yesterday I saw something similar to this being modified into Tuna. The result was amazing.

    I"ve been talking about seiko mods non stop now :D I'll stop after this.

    I've been thinking about this Cartier Solarbeat since my first experience with solar module watch has been great.

    I hope someday Tag Heuer might consider solar watch as well

    Your choice my friend. These have been just recently released by Seiko. Your three choices of color.

    I am going for Seiko Baby Tuna Green Color small diameter Solar :)

    at 38.7mm it would be perfect Tuna for me...my only concern that in some website it is mentioned as "woman watch" :thumbsdown:
