thanks for your comments
If I have made the changes personally, and you need some tools but they are not very expensive and with a little patience everything will be perfect,
And if of course when you like, we can talk about any change you want to make to your skx007, the best crystals, ceramics, etc.
In my second Seiko project I also plan to change everything mentioned plus the caliber from a 7s26 to a 4R36.
I have also gotten my hands on several Rolex OQ, Date Day, and sub., GP, Cartier, AP, and a few more, for hands and dial changes.
In this wonderful world of watches there are always interesting things that can be improved

Rene
small changes can make big differences
Some changes that I found interesting and in the end the result convinced me, here I share some photos Cheers ...
Hey! I'm a fan of well done Seiko mods
And yours is one good example! Thanks for sharing. René
Hi renerod
Thank you all comments, indeed, I changed this watch to a sapphire crystal, double AR flat, coin bezel, ceramic incert, mercedes combas, and the original GP leather strap. soon I will finish the second project, is another seiko type pilot, and I hope to p...
Thanks for sharing the interesting details Quinto!
Si you did all the mods by yourself? Wow! Very bell done! I've been over the fence on modding a SKX007 for myself, but I haven't gathered the will to do so (and the needed tools) 🤣 So maybe I will ask for your advice someday. My best regards for you and y...

I agree with you that there's always chance for improvements 👍🏼
Frequently I find myself thinking about fiddling with one or another watch just to make it look better to my eyes at least. But in general it is with non expensive watches. With regard to the 007, do you have a favorite for modding? J ok K? Best. René
Unlike the 013 (which is the one I modify in the photo)
the 007 has a much wider range of products to be modified, something very important to modify is where you want to take the watch, keep the "diver" concept or change it, and This is where the modification will start because when changing the concept you m...
Well, thank you very much again Quinto
I will be looking forward for your work and hope you share more of it here! Best regards! René
Hello dear friend, I hope you're doing well
Do you know if there's an insert of any vintage seiko diver that would fit the modern mini turtle? Just playing with the idea of putting a faded vintage bezel insert. Best regards. René
Hi renerod
Excuse me so far I can answer you, I was out, your turtle case do you know when it measures? is it 40mm? I would have to check that data to see if it is possible to send me the model of your turtle or the size of the case and I will gladly investigate you...
No problem at all! Least when I do appreciate your help very much! 👍🏼
My seiko model is SRPC41K PADI, case diameter is 42.3mm. I would like to keep the original insert and put a faded vintage one. Best regards. René
I am thinking in something like this
For a 6309/6306 Seller says inner diameter is 31.2, outer one is 38. Do you think this may work? Thanks! René ...
Hi renerod
that insert fits your turtle perfectly and in fact fits your bezel like the bezel for turtle Mod. Cheers
I'm sorry
I didn't say my watch is a mini turtle, did I? In that case will this insert fit too? Best. René
Hi renerod
I hope you have an excellent Christmas season It would be good if you could measure the diameter of your insert with a caliper or with a ruler and determine your outer diameter, if it reaches 38mm it will be the correct one, and if you can let me know the...
Hello Quinto! Thanks and I hope you are having also wonderful Holidays
I will do as you pointed and let you know. Best regards. René
