    93EXCivic's mod thread

    So I am going to use this thread to document various builds that I have done/ am doing.

    My first mod I did was on a cheap $12 Soki mechanical from ebay. I replaced the dial with a 3-6-9 from Raffles, the hands aged with coffee, the case brushed with Scotchbrite, cyclops removed and bezel insert faded in bleach.



    Second one was a 44mm Pilot style watch. I got the Seagull 6497, hands and dial off the parts for sale forum at the other place and the PVD coated case from Manbush...



    The third one was a Luch one hander with the chrome removed from the brass and the crystal replaced with plexi.



    The fourth one, a Jackson 44mm Luminor homage case engraved by vilts, eBay Cali dial turned down to fit, Getat blue hands, Sternkreuz HWS plexi and skeleton Seagull 6497. This one was built for a very good friend who has been thru a rough time recently.
