Last build for this year.
Only a mod, but with a twist or two ;)

Base: SNZH55K1 fished from the bay
Dial and hands: Dagaz
Bezel insert: Ceramic from Yobokies
Crystal: Exchanged the series one with an extra high domed plexi
Strap: Custom made by Jorge. His supersoft distressed leather, 22 mm tapering to 20, black stitched; probably superior to gen :mrgreen:

Thanks folks :wave:

Seiko mods are really rewarding and if you compare with the original watches it is amazing how close they come while still being different (enough).

No, no, J.
In this case it's the strap that makes the mod ;)
