That’s awesome, I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product!! I’m jealous of that case too! You should ask around the Seiko Mods Facebook page, I’m sure there are plenty of people who are willing to redo the lume for you.

Recently finished some slight upgrades to my SKX009..slimmer bezel gasket, new clock spring and replaced the ceramic bezel insert with the OEM Pepsi insert. This handset is on its way too, but I’m only using the shark second hand

potenza302 I have a question regarding the day/date wheel for the crown position @4. As far as I understand the day/date wheel that is mounted on the NH36 will be misaligned if the crown case has the crown position @4 so I went on ebay to find a one.
I wrote to this seller asking if the day(kanji) wheel they sell would fit a NH36 movement with the above mention position, to which they replied:
https://www.ebay.at/itm/GENUINE-SEI...5552162?hash=item28390887a2:g:EvMAAOSwWHBaPV4 J

"The day disc works for movements with crowns at the 3 or 4 o clock if it is installed on 7S26/7S36/NH36/4R36 (not any other movement!). The watch case also needs to be 42 mm (like the SKX007). However, the DATE wheel's alignment depends on the configuration (which movement, crown/stem position). If you are installing the DATE WHEEL on a 42mm case, such as the SKX007, with the crown @ 4, then you need to use the 7S26A/B date wheel.

These day discs and date wheels are only compatible for 7S26 7S36 NH36 4R36 movements."

Now I'm a bit confused, is it the day (Mon,Tue,Wed) wheel I have to change or the date (1,2,3,4) one I have to change?

I found this one at namokimods. Do you recon it's the correct one?

Also I saw that crystal times offers a regulated NH36 movement for €65, is it worth it or should go for an unregulated movement for half the price on ebay?

Thanks in advance

I built this one for myself but then listed it on ebay to see how it fares with the buyers.

EDIT:

Found you listings, very nice!

 

[Ams55557]

Not exactly on topic, but I wish some of the mod makers made things for a 9015. That would open up a huge world. (9015 because it isn’t a “clone” and you could operate above table easier than a2824s etc)

Been modding seikos for a while now, usually take my builds to the extreme... here is my latest just finished mod.

^^^Very nice mate! What movement did you put in there to get a real GMT?

Thank you! Its not gmt, it is an nh35 both gmt and hour hands are pressed on the same post, “horotalyer” makes the 1.5mm hole gmt hand. So its more of a fun homage project rather than true gmt...

These are built by me then go on to the bay for sale. Each one is bespoke one of a kind build so any potential buyer gets a one of one.
