I have not researched the M
what are the main differences ?
I know the obvious 4liner dial and sapphire
but the case, bracelet and case/bezel dimensions are the same, yes?

you got me intrigued by the seiko mods. I might do a 36mm modern explorer mod
and see if people bite locally.looks to me like a zap-zap easy build.
The M was 39mm and had lovely slender lugs. Had the updated 3130 movement with the bigger Balance - hense "M" - 'modified' and swapped Tritium for SuperLuminova on the dial/ hands. Lovely watch and I still miss the 2 Line with frog foot.

did some read up. seems that in gen, just the movement changed and the dial in the later years got 4 lines, and lug holes disappeared
oh well, I will see depending on parts I can source

Good to know, because in the past, I've always shied from building seiko mod because of my assumption of their poor resell value.I've sold around 30 over the past year so yeah

Finally my 2.7mm cobalt drill bit arrived and I retapped the case, now it accepts gen spec tubes & crowns and I installed the correct ones.
I also enlarged the inner diameter of the retaining ring so the crystal will fit without having to shave it down and having it crack after a while.
I am basically done with it other than rebrushing the lugs as I am not satisfied with how they are atm. I would also need suggestions as to what serial would be better for the yuki dial I posted on page #156 as I am a bit lost

Mark 5
Serial Range: 66xxxxx-9xxxxxx + early R Serial The final dial iteration is, ironically, not the last dial used in the 1016 line. As described previously, Mark 3’s are seen both before and aft…
