Can't help but think how cool this anthracite dial would look on that all black mod you recently featured. Didn't quite understand that blue against the black.
Brilliant mods! I think my favourite one so far is the ion-plated black SKX with the Yatchmaster bezel and the green minute hand, but let's face it, ALL the SKX mods you do are great. Loving the subtle grey dial of this one too! Keep going! And enjoy it!
Rob, check your click-spring. Looks like you’re only getting 60 clicks. The stagger on the click-spring needs to be adjusted which would account for why it sounds different. And that’s a Roman day wheel.
China is the place for mod parts. I have seen all those parts on Aliexpress but factory Seiko hands would be best. Most of the brands source their stuff in China anyway. NH 36 movement around $60.00
It depends on where you are, here's a nice list of some modders from around the world www.dlwwatches.com/pages/contacts-for-watch-modification-services
Yea can't wait to mod my Patek Philippe 5711 no no that sounds ridiculous it's a great quality made watch to begin with I'm sorry guy's I'm really trying to understand the hole mod seen were you buy a ok watch only to put another couple hundred in parts into it to make it a better watch .
Did you get rid of the Save the Ocean build? That's one I'm dying to try and put together. Not an exact duplicate of yours, but 4R36 movement, save the ocean dial, skx style case etc. Maybe the mat black case from 444 and a lumed batman bezel insert, maybe the stealth yachtmaster insert. Not sure how it would turn out, but in my head they're both stunning. lol Maybe one day I'll get around to buying all the things I need to mod. Great video.
This is one of the most attractive divers I've ever seen. Well done. Does that red square to the left of the date presentation have some function? Are the days colour-coded or something?
That crystal is not from Namoki (unless you got a prototype), theirs has that beveled gap you see in the original crystal. Probably DLW or Crystaltimes
Rob I’m sure you’ve explained this already but I was just wondering why you don’t just mod the turtle to begin with rather than turn it into a killer skx?
What a classy looking mod. That dial with that movement make it a perfect SKX. Great job Rob
Let’s hear it for Rob ! 23K Subscribers man !! Congratulations 🎊🎉!!!
Wow thanks much. How the heck is this channel keep groaning? Still blows me away
Random Rob cause you da Monster Guru !!!
Love your channel I watch it daily. Congrats.
Sir just asking,it is ok for modifying the watch ? Copyright?? Thank you
That’s a fucking steal. That dial is absolute perfection. I would take that in a second, well done.
Can't help but think how cool this anthracite dial would look on that all black mod you recently featured. Didn't quite understand that blue against the black.
That is an awesome build....my favorite so far.
FAVORITE!!!!!!!! When you decide to sell it I may have to go for it. Perfect.
That's one awesome, awesome looking watch. That dial really is beautiful.
Nice flash light you have on your wrist !
Keep up the good work, looks good
Haha...turtle carcass.

Sir , your mods are amazing ; if I were the CEO from Seiko , I would hire you as a main dive watch designer ….. and fire anybody else . That simple .
Man.. Ill admit that is one of the nicest skx mods ive seen.. Very inspiring.. Thanks
Rob, check your click-spring. Looks like you’re only getting 60 clicks. The stagger on the click-spring needs to be adjusted which would account for why it sounds different. And that’s a Roman day wheel.
Roman yes, thanks. Super tired these days. I kinda like the bezel action the way it is. May keep it this way
Rob, congratulations on 23k subscribers. I remember when you were at just a few thousand. Great job with your channel.
Thanks. Still having fun, although it’s much more work.
China is the place for mod parts. I have seen all those parts on Aliexpress but factory Seiko hands would be best. Most of the brands source their stuff in China anyway. NH 36 movement around $60.00
So where can I send my two skx to get a lumed ceramic bezel like that, a hacking hand-winding movement and a sapphire crystal?
It depends on where you are, here's a nice list of some modders from around the world www.dlwwatches.com/pages/contacts-for-watch-modification-services
I’m diggin that one my friend. Let me know when you decide to sell, I mean IF you decide to sell 😂😂
I will sell it for sure

I buy parts and build a watch that didn't already exist, but the point of modding is to make it unique to you.
Excellent looking mod. Love the colorways and the Kenji date wheel!
Not Kanji day/date wheel. I believe Roman wheel.

Fav mod to date!
It is agreeable to look upon
Hey Rob! Why don’t you use the Turtle casebacks? Then wouldn’t it be an accurate caseback as it has the correct movement inside?
Yes but then the turtle would need a caseback.
Congrats on reaching 23k brother, onwards and upwards.
Thanks much buddy
God that's a good looking watch. I like it as-is, but with a blue bezel insert it would be right up my alley. But if he sells it, I still want it.
Blue insert would be nice too
Just super, Rob - that dial is awesome!
Great mod, beautiful watch!
very nice, Rob.
That is an awesome build Rob. I love that dial and the Angus Jubilee is perfect. This is the perfect SKX. Thank you for sharing it with us :)
Thanks. The srpc23 dial is very good
That crown looks awesome
Really nice mod.
Cool mod Rob
mod looks great.
Nice one
Seiko really should build and sell this watch if they are watching this. I recently put an Angus Jubilee on one of my watches and it's fantastic.
Thanks, always enjoy your mod videos, I must be the only dive watch fan that doesn’t own an SKX an probably won’t.
Keep that record, resist the skx
I’ve currently have 5 Spinnaker’s in my collection, so I’ve had a total of eight, plus 3 Phoibos watches. No room for SKX
I don't own an skx. Too small. I have a Sea-gull Ocean Star.
No need for any mods.
I like to be different.
Does that dial work on a stock skx007?
yes
Imagine if those lumed bezel, lumed signed crown were seiko right-out-of-the-box....whewww
Great build!
Usually I'm not a fan of mods, in general, but I like this.
Very nice mod this one! Agree that dial is awesome
I want one just like that to be build. If you willing to do so.
Killer dial, bezel, and crown!!! Nice job.
Lovely mod 😍🔥🔥
This is one of the most attractive divers I've ever seen. Well done. Does that red square to the left of the date presentation have some function? Are the days colour-coded or something?
Sunday warning, weekend over back to work
I found it! Really want this watch!
Email me. Can make it happen
@@RandomRobReviews Shoot! Let me see if I have money to put where my mouth is!
That crystal is not from Namoki (unless you got a prototype), theirs has that beveled gap you see in the original crystal. Probably DLW or Crystaltimes
Think they have a no bevel now. I know they do
@@RandomRobReviews then you must've gotten a prototype, because it's not on the site
Call dibs for this mod...
Looks fantastic, kudos!!!!!
Your best mod so far, imo.
Honestly it’s either a Turtle mod or Turtle to SKX conversion.
what would it be if there wasn't an original watch, and it was just built from parts?
Love this review wow!
Hi Rob! Can uou also do a supermod for the SKX013?
Have done one in past. That watch is way different for sure.
love this one
Hey love these mods. I have an unrelated question . Which of the tuna models are your favorite and feel more solid in the 1200 and under price range
All of the more current sbbn tuna. My 39 and the blue 37 are my favorites
Random Rob thanks it’s overwhelming looking at all the options ! How do you think they compare to the marine master ones ?
Basically a quartz marine master. They are very good
Rob I’m sure you’ve explained this already but I was just wondering why you don’t just mod the turtle to begin with rather than turn it into a killer skx?
My wrist doesn’t like turtles, I just do what my wrist wants.
An instant classic.
So how can I contact you for a mod commission?
Thanks
how much are you thinking the nija turtle skx build will run?
1200-1300
Have you ever done an skx mod with the batman turtle dial? (Srpc25)
Not yet
Can you use a samurai to do those kind of mods?
"Mod for me" , sells it after 2 weeks
2 weeks is little long, thinking more like today.
