minus-squareAkasazhlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months ago On the more obscure side I like to fiddle with wrist watches by adding aftermarket parts and modifying their overall look. Could you elaborate a bit? Or post some pictures of mods you made?
minus-squareAnonymoose@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-210 months agoYeah so an example of throwing on aftermarket parts: Start with your base watch, I picked up a cheap Invicta dive watch like so https://files.catbox.moe/bnxgcp.jpg Slap on some aftermarket hands, bezel, faced, and sand the bracelet for a nice brushed finish. https://files.catbox.moe/mo52xw.jpg This is a watch restoration I was attempting. Did a poor job but learned quite a bit. https://files.catbox.moe/9bv3pa.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/2kwaka.jpg If you’re interested, check out /r/seikomods. Reddit has a pretty awesome community for it.
