Shall we first determine if it is a real Seiko?

Never mind the gents, welcome and enjoy the forum.

There are forum members here that do modding. I just don’t know if there are folks in the Netherlands that do this professionally.

Monsterwatches.eu is the site of a bloke named Rob (Robokies) who does modding, but I suspect he prioritizes watches he sells (you can order an SKX013 with domed sapphire from him).

However, he’s flaky in terms of communication (even though he’s done me proud on three occasions), so @HanDavinci (the forum’s Mod-king extraordinaire) boycots the man.

@ThaPapper has also done some modding, but between him and Han I don’t know if they can point you to an outfit that does that reliably.

As far as modifications in Amsterdam go though, I can recommend checking in with the good folks at Mr B. They can surely help you find all kinds of modders.

Het enige wat ik aanwrijf ga ik eerst insmeren met Zwitsal.

I have no clue. Maybe one of the members here will read this and send you a PM :+1:

Hello Matthew,

As advised by @Fate_Amenable_To_Change, you could send Rob a message to find out if he has the time to help you? Just ask him and buy the parts with him. He is rather busy though, so he may not be answering for a while but it’s worth a try.

Good luck! :+1:
